Florence Pugh has long since made a name for herself in the film world. Whether through her involvement in the Marvel world (“Avengers 5”), as an “Oppenheimer” or as a “Little Women” actress – the 29-year-old is known. But the actress from Oxford would no longer do certain things for her job – “abusing herself,” for example, as she calls it. She probably had this feeling while filming the 2019 horror “Midsommar,” as she has now admitted in an interview.
No “Midsommar 2.0” possible with her
When the actress was a guest on the “Reign with Josh Smith” podcast, Pugh revealed that she would not take on a role like the one in Ari Aster’s horror film “Midsommar” again – in which Florence Pugh was the protagonist who was in a On a supposed vacation trip she has to notice how more and more people are dying around her. To describe the whole thing better: On the film poster she can be seen crying and covered in blood.
It is precisely this horror that seems to have strongly influenced her future choice of roles. Because in the interview she explained: “There were some roles where I gave too much and was broken for a long time afterwards. For example, when I made ‘Midsommar,’ I definitely felt like I was abusing myself in the places I went.”
More respect for yourself
Pugh further explained her work on camera: “When you find out these things, you have to say, ‘Well, I can’t do that again because that was too much.’ When I look at this performance, I’m really proud of what I did and I’m proud of what came out of me. I don’t regret it. But, yeah, there are definitely things you have to respect about yourself.”
