Aimee Lou Wood has recently opened up about suffering panic attacks on the set of upcoming movie, Anxious People.

The English actress revealed that Angelina Jolie’s showed support to her during a chaotic moment on a movie set.

At the time, Aimee shared that all she could “see was Angelina giving me a thumbs up”.

Daddy Issues actress pointed out that she could not stand up for herself at that moment, which is why, Angelina stood up for her.

Gushing over Maleficent actress, Aimee stated, “She's possibly the most famous woman ever, but she’s so normal.”

“I’m fairly certain she drives herself to set each day,” remarked the 31-year-old in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

Elsewhere in the interview, the Alice & Jack actress also shared her struggle with body dysmorphia.

Aimee, who filmed bikini scenes as Chelsea in the third season of Emmy-nominated HBO series The White Lotus.
