“Exhausted” Florence Pugh Explains Reason Behind First Summer Break


As you may or may not have noticed, Florence Pugh took a breather from acting this summer, a rare break for the self-described "work maniac."

In an interview with British Vogue, the costar (with Andrew Garfield) of the soon-to-be-released romance-drama We Live In Time said she took a break from acting recently for the first time in a career that goes back to 2014’s The Falling and more recently included roles in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two. Since 2023, Pugh has had on-screen or voice roles in The Trident, A Good Person, Human Resources, Oppenheimer, The Boy and the Heron, Dune: Part Two and We Live in Time. “I suddenly woke up last year,” she says in the interview, “and I was like, ‘I hate how much of my life I’ve missed.’ Yes, I want to have a career forever, but that’s not going to happen if I work myself into the ground.”
