Florence Pugh reveals why she "can't do" roles like Midsommar again: "I’ve been broken for a long while afterwards"

The actor opens up about one of her most acclaimed performances

Pugh particularly points at her stunning performance in Midsommar, where she played a grief-stricken woman who joins her toxic boyfriend on a trip to a Swedish midsummer festival that turns into a blood bath. I'd never played someone that was in that much pain before and I would put myself in really shit situations that maybe other actors don't need to do but I would just be imagining the worst things," she said during an interview on the Off Menu podcast in 2023 (via The Independent). Florence Pugh is now back on the big screen with We Live in Time, a romantic drama also starring Andrew Garfield, and will be reprising her role as Yelena Belova in the MCU's Thunderbolts*.
