Hollywood star Florence Pugh has opened up on the challenges of being a woman in Hollywood, stating why it is exhausting.
In a recent chat with The Sunday Times, Pugh, who is known for starring as Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, said women have to walk certain fine lines in order not to be stereotyped.
She referenced how fellow actress Keira Knightley was body-shamed and how women get torn apart despite their talents and beauty, referring to it as “useless crap”.
“There are fine lines women have to stay within, otherwise they are called a diva, demanding, problematic. And I don’t want to fit into stereotypes made by others.
“It is really exhausting for a young woman to just be in this industry, and actually other industries.
“I remember watching this industry and feeling that I wasn’t represented. I remember godawful headlines about how Keira Knightley isn’t thin anymore, or watching women getting torn apart despite being talented and beautiful.
“The only thing people want to talk about is some useless crap about how they look. And so I didn’t care to abide by those rules,” Pugh stated candidly.
