The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood has described being in LA as "emotionally bulimic" and she "wants to throw it all up" every time she leaves.
Aimee Lou Wood has described Los Angeles as "emotionally bulimic".
The 31-year-old actress - who has struggled in the past with the eating disorder, which is characterised by binge eating and purging of the extra food - insisted she wants to "throw it all up" after spending time in California talking about herself.
She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I find LA emotionally bulimic, and I say that as an ex-bulimic.
"It is this super-sized adventure where everyone’s talking about you all the time and you have to talk about yourself all the time. And then I leave, and I want to throw it all up."
The White Lotus star has also struggled with body dysmorphia, which reared its head again during the third season of the hit HBO show when her character Chelsea had to appear in a bikini.
She recalled: "I shook myself out of it by thinking, 'It’s not about whether Aimee wants to show her body or not – Chelsea does.' "
