The actress opened up about how difficult it was to star in the 2019 horror film directed by Ari Aster.
The actress Florence Pugh has shown that he is not afraid to go to extremes in films, whether shaving his head to We Live in Time or stripping in her Oscar-nominated role in Oppenheimer. But the actress says she would never go as far as she did in the 2019 horror film Aria Aster, Midsommar.
“There were some roles in which I gave too much and felt broken for a long time. after. Like when I did ‘Midsommar’, definitely I felt like I abused myself. in the places they forced me to go,” Pugh said, speaking on the most recent episode of the “Reign with Josh Smith” podcast.
“I don’t think I could do this without going all the way and putting myself in all those characters that I’ve played. There’s always a part of me,” the actress said.
“The nature of working through these things is to say, ‘Okay, well, I can’t do that again because it was too much.’ but then I look at that performance and I’m really proud of what I did, and I’m proud of what came out of me.. “I have no regrets,” she said of the film, in which she plays a woman recovering from a tragedy when her visit to a Swedish summer festival takes a dark, violent turn.
“There’s always a moment at the end of filming where I protect and defend those characters to the end, even if they’ve done horrible things,” Pugh explained. “I think that’s natural when you play someone for so long.”
The actress, who was also nominated for an Oscar for her role as Amy in Little Women 2019, added that she has since learned to set firmer boundaries: “There are definitely things you should respect about yourself,” she said.

He previously discussed the fervor of his role in Midsommar with podcasters Ed Gamble and James Acaster. “I’ve never played someone in so much pain before and I put myself in really horrible situations that maybe other actors don’t have to be in. Every day, the content became stranger and more difficult to do. “I was putting things in my head that were getting worse and darker,” he said at the time.
