by

In a recent conversation, Aimee Lou Wood’s father has been discussing the factors that led to the deterioration of his relationships with both Aimee and her younger sister Emily, which ultimately contributed to the end of his marriage. He has openly expressed his efforts towards mending the broken bond he shares with The White Lotus actress and her sibling, who are the daughters he had with his former spouse, Alison.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Michael Wood openly discussed how his struggle with alcohol and drugs caused turmoil in his life, ultimately damaging his relationship with his two daughters. He admitted that he subjected his ex-wife and daughters to hardship during this period and served as a suboptimal role model for them when they were growing up.

In our chat, he shared that he was absent for several weeks starting from 2022, following a visit to a nearby pub. Unbeknownst to his family, he boarded a plane to Japan during that time to witness the 2002 soccer World Cup, an event he didn’t tell them about.

For more than two decades, he’s maintained sobriety, an achievement he’s proud of as it has strengthened his bond with his family. He expressed this sentiment when speaking to a media outlet, stating, “I feel blessed beyond words to be in her life because she and her sister Emily are the world to me.

Wood expressed his pride in his daughter’s accomplishments in Hollywood, noting that he believes she is an exceptional actress with a generous heart. He also mentioned that the character she portrays in “The White Lotus” closely resembles her kind and gentle nature. This was the sentiment Wood conveyed during their shared remarks.

2020 saw the actress open up about her tumultuous teenage years, during which her father was largely absent due to his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. She recalled instances where he would go out for a drink and not return for days or even weeks at a time. In fact, one extended absence lasted for 10 weeks, as he had attended the World Cup in Korea. This account was shared with the U.K.’s Stylist magazine.

The actress shared that her mother consistently provided her with emotional sustenance throughout her life, whereas her father, known for his love of partying, often socialized with famous personalities and Manchester City soccer stars.

Over time, she’s noticed a significant improvement in her bond with her father, and she attributes this progress to the therapeutic sessions that have reportedly brought him back to a clearer state of mind.

Recently, I stepped into the shoes of Chelsea in The White Lotus season 3. Prior to that, my most recognized role was portraying Aimee Gibbs on Sex Education.
