More about Aimee Lou Wood's interview, as she attends her first Met Gala

Aimee Lou Wood, who attended her first Met Gala on Monday, was accompanied by Patrick Schwarzenegger to help her calm her nerves.

In the red carpet interview with Zuri Hall of E! News, the "Sex Education" actress said that she was feeling stressed and anxious about attending the star-studded event and added that is why Schwarzenegger and she decided to come together. She said:

“So, we came in the car together and that had made everything a lot less scary.”

Wood further shared how the "Stowaway" actor offered to attend the event with her when he noticed she was struggling. She explained how she felt,

“I feel very spaced out. I’m struggling to find my words. My mouth is really dry. But Patrick—thank god. He was like, ‘I’m going. Should we go together in the car?’ And I said, ‘Yes, please.’”

Patrick, on the other hand, said that he was happy to attend the event with his friend and co-star, Aimee Lou Wood, saying:

“It’s great to come to an event like this with your friend. It’s kind of terrifying for me to come, I get nervous. So to come with a friend has been nice.”

In the interview she also reflected on their friendship, adding that Patrick Schwarzenegger is the best company to have around if one is nervous or scared, as he always knows how to calm people down.

“I always say I think he was my dad in a past life... He’s the safest, kindest person and he’s so solid. You just can’t feel nervous or scared when Patrick’s around. He’s just the most pure person, I can’t describe it.”

Just a few days prior to their Met Gala appearance, Aimee Lou Wood stood up for Patrick Schwarzenegger over claims of nepotism, saying that he was "the hardest working and kindest man ever" on her Instagram Stories. The other "White Lotus" cast member present at the Met Gala this year was Walton Goggins, who is rumored to have a rift with Aimee Lou Wood.
