Florence Pugh Says ‘I Can’t Do’ Roles Like ‘Midsommar’ Again Because ‘I Definitely Felt Like I Abused Myself’ and ‘That Was Too Much’
Florence Pugh says will no longer do a role like Dani in "Midsommar" because she abused her mental health.
Florence Pughsaid during a recent interview on the “Reign with Josh Smith” podcast(via People) that she is not likely to do a role like “ Midsommar ” again because she feels like she abused herself while playing the film’s protagonist Dani, a grief-stricken American woman who has a psychological breakdown when she joins her toxic boyfriend on a trip to Sweden’s midsummer festival. Pugh said during an interview on the “Off Menu” podcast last year that she had “never played someone that was in that much pain” until Dani in “Midsommar,” adding: “I would put myself in really shitty situations that maybe other actors don’t need to do but I would just be imagining the worst things.” After “Midsommar” wrapped, Pugh traveled immediately to the Boston set of Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women.” The Oscar nominee was overcome with emotion during the switch between movies.
