NO SMILES FOR 'UNFUNNY' SNL SKIT:

English actress Aimee Lou Wood, a star of HBO series The White Lotus 3, has criticised American comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL) for a sketch that mocked her smile, calling it "mean and unfunny".

Wood, 31, posted on Instagram on April 13, objecting to the sketch, in which SNL (1975 to present) cast member Sarah Sherman impersonates Wood's character while wearing large prosthetic teeth.

"I am not thin-skinned," Wood wrote in one of a series of posts on her Instagram Stories, adding that she loves being joked about when "it's clever and in good spirits".

But "the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth", she wrote.

In a subsequent post, Wood said she had received "apologies" from SNL but did not elaborate.
