Florence Pugh recently opened up about the hurtful comments she faces online, calling the internet “a very mean place.” In an interview with British Vogue for their October issue, the We Live in Time star shared how negative remarks about her body and personality affect her.
“It’s really painful to read people being nasty about my confidence or weight. It never feels good,” said Pugh, 28. She explained that her goal has always been to remain authentic: “The one thing I always wanted to do was to never present something that isn’t the real me.”
Florence Pugh Opens Up About ‘Painful’ Criticism Over Her Weight Pugh has previously spoken about body image, telling Elle UK that she’s not ashamed of her natural body: “I speak the way I do because I’m not trying to hide the cellulite on my thighs or the softness between my arm and chest.” She added that her confidence doesn’t come from trying to project a certain image but from wanting to embrace her true self.
While reflecting on her experience with magazine cover shoots, Florence Pugh Opens Up About ‘Painful’ Criticism Over Her Weight Pugh noted that modeling isn’t something she feels naturally comfortable with. “It’s a skill I’ve had to learn,” she said, explaining that posing for photos doesn’t always feel authentic to her. “But now I know what I want to show and who I want to be. I’m not insecure about myself anymore.”
For her role in We Live in Time, where she plays a cancer patient, Pugh shaved her head without hesitation, saying it was essential for the character. “It was important to show her head being shaved — it was a no-brainer.” She also mentioned that acting in scenes involving pain is something she often embraces. “I feel like it’s my responsibility to portray real human experiences, even the ugly and uncomfortable ones.”
Ultimately, Pugh emphasized the importance of kindness and being true to herself. “What matters most is that I’m a good person, and people feel good when they’re around me.”
