À propos de cet audio
Florence Pugh has been making headlines this week with a major podcast appearance that's got everyone talking. Just five hours ago, the British actress joined Louis Theroux on his wildly popular podcast to discuss some deeply personal topics about her craft and mental health. In that conversation, Pugh opened up about the intense emotional toll of making the horror film Midsommar, revealing that playing the grief-stricken character Dani plunged her into six months of depression following the shoot. She described how she essentially abused herself emotionally to get into character, imagining progressively darker scenarios—starting with hearing about a sibling's death and eventually imagining attending her entire family's funeral. Pugh emphasized that this method of acting took a serious toll on her wellbeing, explaining that she manipulated her own emotions so severely that she couldn't recover quickly, especially since she had only three days between wrapping Midsommar in Budapest and flying to Boston to shoot Greta Gerwig's Little Women.
During this same podcast appearance, Pugh also discussed other aspects of her work, including intimacy coordinators on film sets and even referenced jumping off a building from nearly three thousand feet—suggesting involvement in high-stakes action sequences, possibly related to her Marvel work. The actress continues to be selective about the roles she takes on, clearly having learned from the grueling experience that was Midsommar.
Beyond this podcast appearance, Pugh remains an active voice in Hollywood conversations about workplace culture. She's previously discussed how exhausting it is to be a young woman in the entertainment industry, recalling how she watched talented actresses like Keira Knightley get torn apart by the press for simply existing in their bodies. She's spoken about the impossible standards women face in this business and how there are fine lines they must stay within to avoid being labeled difficult or demanding.
With her recent podcast appearance generating significant buzz and her continued involvement in major projects, Florence Pugh remains very much in the public consciousness.
