Aimee Lou Wood Admitted She's 'Bothered' That She Was 'The Only One' Who Had To Go To 'Extremes' When Filming NSFW Nude Scenes On 'Sex Education'
Mild spoilers for The White Lotus ahead.
Aimee Lou Wood is continuing to shed light on what it was like shooting intimate scenes on The White Lotus.
Aimee, 31, plays Chelsea in the latest season of the HBO drama, which came to an end earlier this week. A couple of months ago, Aimee opened up about what it was like shooting a sex scene, in which she's topless, with her on-screen love interest Walton Goggins, 53.
'I love intimacy coordinators, and I think they're absolutely essential,' Aimee told Elle as she recalled feeling incredibly supported by everyone involved in putting the scene together.
Elsewhere in the interview, Aimee compared her experience on The White Lotus with her time on Netflix's Sex Education, revealing that despite being well 'looked after' on the latter series, she found herself agreeing to unnecessary nude scenes.
' Sex Ed taught me a lot, and I had to do so much stuff in Season 1 that, after that, I was like, 'Right. Now, we're going to be more discerning,'' she said. 'Because I was young and I was so looked after, but I think I was very much just like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!' And now, I'm more like, 'Do we need this? Is there a way to tell this story with just a look or just a kiss?''
'I think it's always about asking: What is the scene saying? Because if we can say it without doing a full-blown nude sex scene, then let's try that. I'm definitely more aware of that now,' she added.
Now, Aimee has opened up further about her time on Sex Education during a new interview with GQ.
While discussing her White Lotus scenes, Aimee revealed that she and her female costars Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan — who play Laurie and Jaclyn — actually went to dinner to go over their intimate scenes together and make sure that they were necessary to their storylines. Aimee said, 'It made me feel so much better because what bothered me about Sex Ed, that I'm only just realizing, is not what I did, it's the fact that I felt like I was the only one.'
'In the first season no one else in the main cast actually went to the extremes I went to and so I think that's what made me feel exposed,' she said. For context, the very first scene in Season 1 of Sex Education features Aimee nude and having graphic sex.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Raise Eyebrows With New 'Beyond Belief' Move
Prince Harry and his wife, the former Meghan Markle, have drawn a lot of attention since moving to the United States, not all of it positive. There was her Netflix lifestyle show, their joint Oprah interview, the podcasts, the social media posts, and a couple of documentaries. However, their latest move has stunned some observers. It's the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to hire Emily Robinson as their Director of Communications that is raising eyebrows. One source told the UK's Express the move is "almost beyond belief." But why? Because Robinson was involved in doing PR for the Netflix show The Crown for several seasons, Express reported. The Crown is a fictionalized series on the Royal Family, warts and all. There are debates over how authentic it is, but it chronicles everything from Queen Elizabeth II's early years to Prince Charles' relationship with Camilla and Princess Diana's struggles and death. There are inaccuracies in the show. 'Nothing other than damaging and malicious fiction,' former Prime Minister John Major said of the series, according to The Standard. Prince Harry has discussed the show before on an appearance with Stephen Colbert. "The older stuff and the more recent stuff. Yes, I do actually fact check it. Which, by the way, is another reason why it's so important that history has it right," he said to Colbert. "They don't pretend to be news – it's fictional, but it's loosely based on the truth. It gives you a rough idea about what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else – what can come from that." He added: "I'm way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself." However, a source told Daily Beast that Prince William has a different take. 'It's incredibly hurtful to have his mother exploited over and over again in this tawdry fashion by Netflix," the source told Daily Beast. "He won't watch it, but he will be totally sickened by it. The Standard reported that some experts believe King Charles wasn't happy when a season of the show aired near his mother's death. In 2021, Charles told Scottish parliament, "Hello, nice to meet you all. I'm nowhere near how they portray me on Netflix," The Standard reported.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Reportedly Fuels Royal Family Feud With PR Move
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to prove they are unbothered by the Royal Family's opinions. The couple, famous for butting heads with the monarchy, recently hired the same woman responsible for promoting "The Crown." The Netflix series about the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II did not sit well with the Royal Family. Sources noted that they found the series to be controversial and the PR personnel responsible for it even more problematic. However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly did not care and were more focused on the profits to be made. According to new reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently appointed Emily Robinson as their new Director of Communications. The latter was responsible for the global promotion of "The Crown" seasons three to six. The Daily Mail reported that she has twenty years of experience in entertainment publicity, brand development, and strategic communication. Before joining Harry and Meghan's team, Robinson spent almost a decade at Netflix, the couple's longtime business partner. Given her stellar résumé, sources alleged that the Sussexes were unbothered by her time on the controversial series. They were more interested in the benefits she would bring, with a source slamming them for fueling their estrangement from the Royal Family. In their words: "In the circumstances, it's almost beyond belief that Harry and Meghan would hire someone straight from 'The Crown.'" One of the reasons the Royal Family might disapprove of Harry and Meghan's new personnel stemmed from her alleged actions while working on the historical series. Robinson was reportedly a part of the team that refused to add a disclaimer on the show. The show's season five detailed King Charles' alleged plot to dethrone his mother and his eager anticipation of her abdicating the crown to him. Because Robinson's team did not add a disclaimer tag, the series painted these schemes as facts instead of fiction. Additionally, Robinson was responsible for promoting more controversial episodes, such as Harry in Nazi fancy dress, Diana's Panorama interview, and the 'ghost' Diana talking to the Queen. Sources claimed she oversaw the series' publicity "with an iron fist" and eventually became a "divisive" figure at Netflix over her behavior. Harry and Meghan's PR move comes days after the Duke of Sussex made waves for allegedly insulting the Royal Family. Sources claimed Harry had entertained the idea of discarding his royal surname. He reportedly discussed the possibility with his uncle Earl Charles Spencer, informing him of his desire to remove the Mountbatten-Windsor name and adopt his mother, Princess Diana's surname. However, his relative did not support the idea and talked him out of it. Although Harry did not go through with his alleged plan, the thought of it sparked backlash. Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich slammed him for making "another deeply divisive and emotionally charged move, stressing that he was burning more bridges with the Royal Family. This month has been marked by multiple criticisms of Prince Harry, including claims from a brand expert about the Duke of Sussex. Jack Izzard from Gallia Communications applauded Meghan's move into the hospitality sector while slamming her husband. Izzard stressed that Meghan was focused on revamping her image after her controversial exit from the Royal Family, believing she was focused on the future, unlike her husband. "Harry's still stuck in the past and trying to settle scores. She is looking ahead, forging this brand," he claimed. The brand expert further applauded Meghan for attempting to make herself into "a star hostess" and "Californian royalty who makes her guests feel welcome." Reports noted the Duchess of Sussex had trademarked her As Ever brand for "hospitality services," which could include places to stay, the "provision of food and drink," and temporary lodgings. Early this month, sources shed light on Harry and Meghan's Summer plans, claiming the couple were looking forward to relaxing after a stressful couple of months. The Blast shared that their plans included fun events, such as a possible trip to Napa for wine tastings. Harry and Meghan also considered visiting Big Sur and other parts of Northern California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Sources noted the Duchess of Sussex wanted to see a close friend in Colorado, but she and her husband had a potential trip to Canada on the table. Additionally, they contemplated spending the holidays in cottage country north of Toronto. Insiders noted that when the couple eventually decided on a place, they would spend quality time with some of their close pals. They had reportedly extended invitations to David Foster and Katherine McPhee. Will Prince Harry and Meghan's latest PR move drive a deeper wedge between them and the Royal Family?

'The Waterfront' Is Netflix's All-New Family Drama—We Can't Wait To Dive In!
Imagine if Yellowstone took place in a North Carolina coastal town and instead of the family at the helm of the show being in the ranching business, they were in the fishing business—you'd get something along the lines of Netflix's upcoming series, The Waterfront. There's nothing we love more than unique and complicated family dynamics, especially those wrapped up in a family business, and this upcoming series is sure to have viewers entertained. Here, everything we know about The Waterfront. This all-new Netflix series follows the Buckley family. For decades, they've ruled just about every facet of their small Carolina town, leaving their most significant mark on the local fishing industry, but the family patriarch's ailing health makes things complicated for his wife and children. As the family does what they can to keep their heads above water, things get more and more complicated. See the trailer below! This series comes from the mastermind behind shows like Dawson's Creek and The Vampire Diaries, Kevin Williamson, so fans are already anticipating the drama to arrive in full force if it's anything like his past work! This story in particular, however, is a little bit personal, as some of the inspiration was taken from his own life and family. 'The fishing industry sort of upturned in the '80s—it all started to go away, and my dad couldn't feed his family,' he told Netflix's Tudum. 'So someone came along and said, 'Hey, if you do this one thing, you can make all this money.' And it was hard to say no to.' This series has a star-studded cast, many of whom we've seen before shining on our screens. Leading the show as the family patriarch is Holt McCallany as Harlan Buckley, with Maria Bello playing the part of his wife, Belle. Jake Weary plays Harlan's son Cane, with Melissa Benoist portraying his daughter Bree. Humberly Gonález plays Jenna, one of Cane's old flames who is back in town to care for her dad, and Rafael L. Silva will play a new bartender at the Buckley's eatery. Brady Hepner and Danielle Campbell join the cast as well, with none other than Topher Grace also guest starring. Grace will play a prominent drug lord, and show creator Kevin Williamson dove into his character in conversation with Collider. "He comes from a very well-to-do overachieving family where everyone's lawyers and doctors and his father was super rich and he was a failure. He was sort of this tech bro who got into some money laundering and served time in prison, met some wrong people in prison, got out and decided that having a poppy farm was the way to succeed in life." The Waterfront will begin streaming on June 19, and we can't wait to see what's in store! Looking for more entertainment stories? Click through below!
