The White Lotus star champions a more inclusive vision of health and wellness

Natasha Rothwell, the acclaimed actor known for her role as Belinda Lindsey in HBO’s The White Lotus, is championing a more inclusive vision of health and wellness, advocating for accessibility regardless of body size.

The 45-year-old, who proudly identifies as plus-sized, challenges the prevailing narrative that often equates health with thinness. "As someone is plus-sized – and very proudly so – oftentimes, health and wellness are conflated with being thin and skin, which is just not true," she states. Rothwell believes that greater diversity in the wellness space is crucial, ensuring that "mental health and their wellbeing is also important and should be prioritised" for everyone.
