Florence Pugh sets boundaries
Florence Pugh is done standing for bad behavior on film sets.
“Every time I work on a movie, I get more confident in the way that I can protect myself and the way that I can lead a film set, and just not stand for bullshit anymore,” Pugh told Elle Magazine, GeekTyrant reported. “I’m not doing it. I’m not standing for bullshit behavior. I’m not standing for bullshit attitude.”
The Marvel star established herself in the cinematic universe as Yelena Belova in Black Widow, appearing alongside Scarlett Johansson. Her rise in the industry brought broader recognition, an Oscar nomination, and a firmer voice regarding set conditions.
“I’m not allowing for people to be rude to the crew,” Pugh told GeekTyrant. “You just get bolder and bigger and more confident with time, and you want to be around and work with the right people. And the moment someone is making that vibe feel off, everybody feels it.”
Professional standards on set
Pugh emphasized a straightforward approach to her working environment.
“I don’t want to deal with messy,” Pugh told GeekTyrant. “It’s just about surrounding yourself with professionals who have the same way of working in mind: Show up on time, don’t be rude, don’t be a misogynist.”
While the actor did not name specific individuals during the interview, past productions have faced public scrutiny. Pugh reportedly clashed with director Olivia Wilde during the 2022 release of Don’t Worry Darling, and recent rumors surfaced regarding on-set friction during the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday production.
