Actress Florence Pugh reveals that her performance in the 2019 horror film 'Midsommar' was emotionally taxing, leaving her feeling 'abused' and 'broken' for a long time afterwards. She explains that some roles require giving 'too much' of herself, and she's learned to prioritize her well-being by setting limits.
Florence Pugh is hesitant to play another role like the one she portrayed in 2019 horror “ Midsommar ,” saying she felt like she “abused” herself and was “broken for a long while afterwards.” In the movie, the British actress starred as Dani, a grieving graduate student who joins her boyfriend on a visit to rural Sweden to observe a festival that happens every 90 years during the summer solstice.
” “Like when I did ‘Midsommar’… I definitely felt like I abused myself in the places that I got myself to go,” she said. “The nature of figuring these things out is you need to go, ‘Alright, well I can’t do that again cause that was too much.’” In an interview with The Sunday Times last month, Pugh said that, in order to enter the frame of mind needed for the role, she had to imagine family members in coffins and going to an open casket funeral for her siblings.
