It is unclear if the two actresses have a personal relationship as they never worked together on the anthology show, Sweeney starring on the first season and Wood on the third.<\/p>\n
Sweeney\u2019s infamous ad saw her model American Eagle jeans whilst alluding to the quality of the blonde and blue-eyed actress\u2019 \u201cgreat genes\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cGenes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality, and even eye colour\u201d, the Euphoria actress states, \u201cMy jeans are blue\u201d.<\/p>\n
Many online commentators noted the uncomfortable implications of the ad\u2019s premise, suggesting it had overtly racist undertones.<\/p>\n
In Tuesday\u2019s GQ interview, Sweeney seemed unfazed by the backlash, telling the publication, \u201cI think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did a jean ad. I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I\u2019m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
She described President Donald Trump\u2019s public praise for the ad as \u201csurreal\u201d, bolstering the continued speculation about her political affiliations.<\/p>\n
Wood, on the other hand, has repeatedly spoken against conservative political positions, openly criticising the UK\u2019s recent anti-trans ruling earlier this year.<\/p>\n
She recently shared how her role on The White Lotus forced her to confront her previous battles with body dysmorphia and bulimia, challenging her to really embody her character\u2019s positive mentality.<\/p>\n
\u201cI shook myself out of it by thinking, \u2018it\u2019s not about whether Aimee wants to show her body or not – Chelsea does\u2019\u201d, she told Harper\u2019s Bazaar.<\/p>\n
\u201cActing has always been a safe place for me to work out my feelings. I think for that reason a role will hit me in the heart, in the gut.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is unclear if the two actresses have a personal relationship as they never worked together on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121996,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[74,71471,8239,1738,1741,3039,75819,156,29052,23736,66402,111,139,69,19762,59342,2737,1742,1734,72809,16550,4883],"class_list":["post-121995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-after","tag-aimee","tag-american","tag-campaign","tag-controversy","tag-defends","tag-eagle","tag-entertainment","tag-fellow","tag-lotus","tag-lou","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-reacts","tag-seemingly","tag-star","tag-sweeney","tag-sydney","tag-weighed","tag-white","tag-wood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
