The internet can be a very mean place, says Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh thinks the internet can be "a very mean place". The 28-year-old actress is aware of the scrutiny that she faces, and Florence acknowledged that online criticism "never feels good". The blonde beauty told the October issue of British Vogue magazine: "It’s so hard.

[The internet’s] a very mean place. It’s really painful to read people being nasty about my confidence or nasty about my weight. It never feels good.



"The one thing I always wanted to achieve was to never sell someone else, something that isn’t the real me.". Asked if she's always been body confident, Florence replied: "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." Florence believes she's actually overcome a lot of her own insecurities in recent years. Speaking about shooting magazine covers, the actress shared: "I’m not a model.

It’s portraying a completely different version of myself that I don’t necessarily believe in. You have to believe that you deserve to be in those pages being beautiful. "But now I know what I want to show.

I know who I want to show. I know who I want to be and I know what I look like. There’s no insecurities about what I am anymore.

" Florence shaved her head ahead of the 2023 Met Gala, and she believes that the move reflected her personal evolution. The movie star explained: "I was going through so many [aesthetic] iterations when I was also going through life decisions. "I was like, ‘Cool, well I don’t look like me.

I’m changed. I’m changing.’ Looking back on that summer, I was growing into a new thing.
