Florence Pugh reflected on shooting the intense 2019 horror film 'Midsommar,' saying she felt she 'abused' herself to get to the dark emotional place her character was in the film.
The 27-year-old said she had to leave three days before shooting wrapped to start filming 2019’sWhile she was on a plane flying to Boston, she said, she felt"immense guilt," like she had left her"Midsommar" character in the field where they were shooting after her character had what she described as a"psychotic break."
"It was so weird. I’ve never had that before," she added."Obviously, that’s probably a psychological thing where I felt immense guilt of what I’d put myself through. But I definitely felt like I’d left her there in that field to be abused. She can’t fend for herself, almost like I’d created this person, and then I just left her there when I had to go and do another movie."
She said most of the time when she acts she feels like her characters would"be fine" and"know how to handle themselves" after the movie is over. But she felt strangely protective of the character she had created in"Midsommar." "I’d obviously created such a sad person and then felt guilty that I had created that person and then left her."
Pugh praised"Midsommar" director Ari Aster as "peculiar in the mad genius kind of way" and a"stand-up comedian at heart," while acknowledging the arduousness of shooting the horror flick.
