Florence Pugh did not always have control over her own body.
At the beginning of her career, the actress encountered people in the industry who literally asked her to lose weight to land certain roles. She said no. And in 2024, she explained it bluntly: “I’m proud to have stayed true to myself and to look the way I do”.
What angers her most is not the isolated comment, but the pattern: a woman’s talent being overshadowed by judgments about her appearance. That’s why she doesn’t hide what others would hide either. “I’m not trying to hide the cellulite on my thigh”, she said in 2023. She prefers to show herself as she really is rather than pursue a mold that never belonged to her 🎬
