Florence Pugh Addresses "Nasty" Comments About Her Weight

As a dedicated follower of Florence Pugh‘s career, I can’t help but admire her strength and resilience in the face of harsh criticism about her appearance. At just 28 years old, she has already shown an impressive ability to push through the noise and focus on being authentically herself.


Florence Pugh isn’t immune to criticism about her appearance. 

Actress from the film “Don’t Worry Darling,” aged 28, candidly discussed the struggles of enduring external criticism regarding her appearance and admitted that dealing with such discourse is incredibly challenging for her.

[The internet] can be quite cruel,” Pugh expressed during an interview with British Vogue on September 18th. “It hurts to see people being unkind about my self-esteem or body weight. It’s never a pleasant experience.

In a challenge against antiquated and unattainable beauty norms, the actress from Dune primarily strives to remain true to her genuine self at all times.

She went on to say, “What I’ve always strived for is to never present a false self or deceive others. It’s not about having faith that people will like me; instead, it’s more about not wanting to pretend to be someone I’m not.

The Oscar-nominated individual mentioned that photo shoots are something she’s become proficient in, stating they’re a skill she’s learned to handle, but she continues to grapple with the potential image these glossy magazine pictures may convey about her to the public.

Pugh clarified, “I’m not a model and the image presented doesn’t truly represent me. However, it’s important to feel deserving of being part of such publications, embracing your unique beauty.

She went on, “But now I know what I want to show. I know who I want to show. I know who I want to be and I know what I look like. There’s no insecurities about what I am anymore.”

Additionally, Pugh mentioned that the same sincerity and authenticity she values in herself is reflected in her approach towards her acting profession.

She expressed a preference for portraying pain on screen, stating it’s crucial to her acting. She believes it’s her responsibility to portray authentic human emotions and depict what seems real and painful – be it genuine tears, an unsettled expression, or a lack of restraint when nude.

On previous occasions, Pugh has addressed comments about her appearance, particularly after wearing a sheer Valentino gown in 2022 which caused an online stir. The actress from ‘Little Women’ expressed that she prefers to showcase herself openly rather than attempting to conceal her body, potentially causing discomfort for others.

Last year, when the incident involving the Valentino pink dress occurred, my nipples were visible due to a thin fabric. This caused quite a stir among people, as she explained to Elle UK last year. The reason for the uproar, she believes, is the fear of freedom that people have; the fact that I am comfortable and content with myself.
