Florence Pugh Calls Out Hollywood's “Exhausting” Sexist Stereotypes of Women

Florence Pugh refuses to conform to the sexist stereotypes to which women are often bound, especially in the entertainment industry.

In a new interview, the “Midsomer” star discussed the difficulties she faced as a young woman in Hollywood. “There are boundaries that women have to fit into,” Pugh told The London Times. 'Otherwise, they call you a diva, demanding, problematic. And I don't want to fit into stereotypes that other people have created.“

Pew said that he is ‘a bit of a ’diva” because he doesn't want to be a diva.

Pugh continued, “It's really exhausting just to be a young woman in this industry, and indeed in other industries. But I've always been encouraged to speak up.”

One of the ways Pugh rebels against outdated images of women is by playing complex characters on screen. 'It's always fashionable for women to talk about how they should live their lives,' Pugh told the outlet. 'Or that the decisions they're making are wrong or too loud. It's about control, isn't it?

In the same interview, Pugh revealed how she tries to counteract negative and sexist reports about women's bodies. She said, “I remember looking at this industry and feeling like I wasn't being represented. 'People talk about how Keira Knightley isn't skinny anymore, or how they see women being torn apart despite being talented and beautiful. All people want to talk about is useless crap about how they look. So I didn't mind following those rules. I liked to challenge ideas that I didn't like."

The “Little Women” star described the shock she experienced when she learned she was living with two health conditions that affected her fertility. 'I'm 27 and I learned a whole different information that I needed to get my eggs and do it quickly, it was just a bit of a daunting realization, and I've wanted children since I was a kid, so when I did, I'm really lucky and what I'm glad I found out, Pugh told Deer Media's “SHE MD” podcast.”
