Aimee Lou Wood fans only just realising who her well-known sister is
She's the name on everybody's lips at the moment, but Aimee Lou Wood is more than just 'Chelsea' from The White Lotus.
It turns out that the British actress is actually part of a pretty famous family, with a sister that some Gen Z social media users might recognise, being that she's somewhat 'TikTok famous'.
For those in need of a reminder of Amiee's latest work, she was recently cast in the eagerly-awaited third instalment of HBO's exotic thriller, playing a loveable Mancunian airhead with a much older boyfriend (played by Walton Goggins).
Also in this year's line-up are the likes of Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Rockwell, Scott Glenn, Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon and Sarah Catherine Hook.

Despite still being considered a newcomer when it comes to television and film, Amiee, 31, does have some pretty impressive stage credits on her CV, having starred in Uncle Vanya and Cabaret.
However, the TV star - who first found fame after being cast on Netflix's coming-of-age hit Sex Education in 2019 - isn't the only big-name in her Stockport, Manchester family.
Wood is actually the sister of internet sensation Emily Wood, a make-up artist famed for showing off her striking looks, innovative style and stellar technique on the likes of TikTok and Instagram.
Over the last few years, Emily has amassed over 100,000 followers on the video-sharing apps, with her self-applied make-up tutorials - which often include abstract, out-of-the-box looks - resonating with fans.
She's famed specifically for being able to use one lip liner to create a winged-eye, blushed cheeks, nose contour and plump lips, and her 'USP', as it were, is being able to apply a whole face of make-up while walking down the street.
The social media star has also used her platform to discuss her dyslexia, having been diagnosed aged nine - as per Metro.
And while each of the Wood sisters have remained somewhat tight-lipped over their well-known siblings, Emily recently shared a video including her actress sister in which she could be seen applying make-up onto Aimee.
Their familial connection was also brought up by hosts of the popular You Beauty podcast, with followers later claiming they had no idea the pair were related.
Presenters told fans of the pod on Instagram while sharing a snap of Emily: "You might’ve seen @emilywoodmakeup on your FYP doing a full glam look with just a single lip liner. But did you know her sister is The White Lotus star @aimeelouwood?
"The Wood sisters are out here thriving."
One listener quickly took to the comments to write: "No way! How cool. I love her makeup vids."
Another added: "Literally thought you were her - so much love for you both!!!"
"I stumbled on her ig a few weeks ago and I told my husband she looks like the girl from White Lotus," a third explained. "Looked her up and confirmed. It made my night lol."
According to a 2019 interview with Notion, the pair moved from the North of England to London some years ago, going on to pursue their creative careers.
Discussing their respective successes with the magazine at the time, Emily explained: "It feels so good you know. We both do completely different things that sometimes get to intertwine like now and it’s so special.
"That’s another great thing about London; you get to embrace your bizarre style with makeup and be welcomed for it. At the same time, I do feel a bit lost in the crowd sometimes which is obviously natural."
Aimee then added: "The thing with me and Emily is that we’re both so different, clever, and beautiful in our unique ways. With that comes certain expectations placed upon us, and some people want to compare us.
"We just don’t play any part of that, I mean naturally, we compare ourselves to each other as we’re sisters."
The actress continued: "Emily has taught me so much – especially about being braver with my emotions and allowing myself to be vulnerable to the right people."
