Florence Pugh was able to resist Hollywood producers who wanted her to change her appearance at the very beginning of her career.
At the time, the
Don't Worry Darling
star was just 19 years old, and she had gone to try her luck in Hollywood, where she landed the role of a pop star in a series that was to be filmed in Los Angeles.
But the young actress quickly backtracked when the production asked her to diet and even go under the knife.
"All the things they were trying to change about me - whether it was my weight, my appearance, the shape of my face, the shape of my eyebrows - didn't fit with what I wanted to do or the industry I was in. wanted to work,” she told The
Telegraph
.
Never mind, Florence Pugh slammed the door and returned to the UK where she ended up getting the role that broke her into
Lady Macbeth
.
No concessions
“It made me fall in love with cinema all over again – the kind of cinema where you can voice opinions, and voice them loudly, and I stuck with that,” Pugh continued.
“I think it's too easy for people in this industry to push you one way or another.
And I was lucky to find out what kind of artist I wanted to be at 19.
