Florence Pugh has grown to critical acclaim after her debut in Carol Morley’s The Falling and since then has received heaps of praise for her acting abilities.
But the actress has also garnered abundant love and support from the fans because of her humble and charismatic persona and for not molding to the intense Hollywood norms that it puts on young actresses.
Florence Pugh shares how her overbearing love for food confused Hollywood
Florence Pugh has been one of the most humble and grounded stars in Hollywood and is truly dining at the buffet of life and hasn’t fallen under the intense diet pressure that Hollywood places on young actresses as she confused Hollywood with her overbearing love for food.
Pugh has repeatedly thanked her parents for her growing confidence as she was taught to not be self-conscious about her body which can be seen as she hasn’t fallen under the pressure of Hollywood to maintain an extreme diet and hasn’t shied away from showing her love for food. She also discussed how she hit her foot as a beginner in the industry for her love of food, as she didn’t care about her body image and deployed the norms set by the industry on young actresses. She further discussed her experience by stating,
“I think women, especially young women in Hollywood are getting themselves in all these ways to get whatever opportunity they need to get because that’s just the way that it’s been. And when I went and did that project it was expected that you would be on whatever diet that you needed to be on and for me, that was just shocking because I’d never done that before,”
She also expressed her feeling of not wanting her career to dictate her body, as she didn’t lose weight for any particular role to look fantastic but to get into the shoes of the character and experience how the character would’ve lived and what she would’ve eaten.
Florence Pugh shares her love for cooking
Although Florence Pugh is known for her wonderful acting abilities, this isn’t the only skill that she bears in her arsenal, as the actress has also shared her exquisite cooking skills through her social media and different interviews.
The actress developed her love for food and cooking from her father, a professional chef who owns several restaurants in Oxfordshire, England, and Pugh along with her three siblings have worked at her father’s restaurants.
In a recent interview with Vogue, the actress shared her recipe on how to make a delicious garlicky bread topped with tomatoes, feta, and anchovies and whipping up vodka martinis, as it doesn’t matter if it is a professional set or Pugh’s home, her natural charm for cooking always stays true.
Florence Pugh has emphasized the role of cooking in her life on numerous occasions and even after becoming a successful star in the industry, the actress hasn’t let the industrial norms break her love for food and has garnered abundant respect from fans for her fearless persona.
