Hollywood is ‘really exhausting’ for young women, Florence Pugh says
British star, 28, says ‘there are lines women have to stay within’ in the film industry but that she refuses to fit into stereotypes
Florence Pugh has opened up about what it’s like to be a young woman in Hollywood, describing the experience as exhausting.
In an interview with The Times of London published on Sunday, the 28-year-old British star reflected on her decade-long career as an actress and issues in the industry.
“There are fine lines women have to stay within, otherwise they are called a diva, demanding, problematic. And I don’t want to fit into stereotypes made by others,” Pugh said.
“It is really exhausting for a young woman to just be in this industry, and actually other industries.”
Pugh rose to fame after making her movie debut in The Falling in 2014. She followed that up with roles in Midsommar, Black Widow, Oppenheimer, Dune: Part Two, and Little Women – the latter of which earned her an Oscar nomination.
