Florence Pugh isn’t immune to criticism about her appearance.
The Don’t Worry Darling actress, 28, opened up about the difficulty of pushing through outside commentary about how she looks and said she finds dealing with such chatter to be “so hard.”
“[The internet’s] a very mean place,” Pugh told British Vogue in an interview published Sept. 18. “It’s really painful to read people being nasty about my confidence or nasty about my weight. It never feels good.”
As she pushes against unrealistic and outdated beauty standards, the Dune star’s main goal is simply to always be authentically herself.
“The one thing I always wanted to achieve was to never sell someone else, something that isn’t the real me,” she continued. “I don’t think it’s confidence in hoping people like me. I think it’s just, like, I don’t want to be anyone else.”
