Florence Pugh has revealed that Hollywood bigwigs told her to slim down and change the shape of her face if she wanted success in the industry.
The 26-year-old actress said she was specifically told to “lose weight” and “change the shape” of her face if she wanted to land the big roles and become a household name.
“I felt very lucky and grateful, and couldn’t believe I had landed this top-of-the-game job…” she said.
“[But] all the things they tried to change about me, whether it was my weight, my looks, the shape of my face, the shape of my eyebrows, that was so not what I wanted to do, or the industry I wanted to work in.”
