Florence Pugh She is very careful when selecting the projects she decides to work on, but now revealed that one of the most intense was the 2019 film “Midsummer”in which she played Dani, a girl who travels to Sweden with her boyfriend for a festival and ends up being part of a sinister cult.
Being interviewed for the podcast “Off menu” Pugh, 27, elaborated on how that experience was too intense: “Every day the content was crazier and harder to do. I was putting things in my head that were getting worse and darker. I think in the end, I probably, definitely abused myself to get that performance.”
Just a few days after her part in that film ended, Florence began making another one –“Little women”-, with which she felt satisfied but at the same time relieved to leave that character: “I was so involved (in Dani), and I had never had this before with any of my characters. I had never played someone who was in so much pain before, and who would really put me in very weird situations that maybe other actors don’t need to do.but I only spent my time imagining the worst things ”.
Coincidentally, although Florence already had other films in her filmography, “Midsummer” It was the film that launched her to world fame. She is currently promoting the tape “A good person”a drama in which he shares credits with Morgan Freeman.
