Florence Pugh has never been afraid to go to extremes for films, whether it’s shaving her head for “We Live in Time” or going nude in her Oscar-nominated role in “Oppenheimer.” But the actress says she would never go as far as she did in Aria Aster’s 2019 horror film, “Midsommar. “

“There have been some roles where I’ve given too much and I’ve been broken for a long while afterwards. Like when I did ‘Midsommar,’ I definitely felt like I abused myself in the places that I got myself to go,” Pugh said, speaking on the most recent episode of the “Reign with Josh Smith” podcast.

“I don’t think I’d be able to do this without going there all the way and putting myself in all of those characters that I’ve played. There’s always a piece of me,” the actress said on a recent episode of the Reign with Josh Smith podcast.
