Florence Pugh Says It’s ‘Exhausting’ for Women in Hollywood, Recalls Seeing ‘Godawful Headlines About How Keira Knightley Isn’t Thin Anymore’


Florence Pugh says it's "exhausting" for women in Hollywood.

“I remember godawful headlines about how Keira Knightley isn’t thin anymore, or watching women getting torn apart despite being talented and beautiful. Pugh revealed in a 2022 interview with The Telegraph that she thought becoming an actor was a “massive mistake” after she was body shamed by studio executives at age 19. Knightley, meanwhile, recently told The Times of London that she relentlessly mocked by the press for being a bad actor after the first “Pirates” movie opened in theaters.
