The entertainment world is infamous for its brutal comments about women’s bodies, and Florence Pugh is determined to speak her mind.

“Being a young woman in this industry is incredibly tiring,” Pugh expressed during a recent interview with the Times, released on Sunday. “But I’ve always felt encouraged to express myself.”

Known for her candid views on unrealistic beauty standards, Pugh shared with the U.K. outlet her desire for her voice to help expand the industry’s comfort zone.

“Not everyone has long, lean legs,” the “Little Women” actress remarked in the interview. “I recall watching the industry and feeling overlooked. I remember terrible headlines about Keira Knightley and how she wasn’t thin anymore, or seeing talented and beautiful women being harshly criticized.”

Keira Knightley has also recently spoken about the traumatic impact of early critiques of her body. “It obviously affected me psychologically because I was so young when it began. It has shaped my perspective,” Knightley stated in another interview with the Times.

Knightley’s experiences highlight the ongoing cycle of body-shaming. Actresses are not only criticized for gaining weight; they also face judgment for looking “too thin.”

During the press tour for “Wicked,” co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo received backlash, with many accusing them of appearing unhealthy.

Grande, who rose to fame as a teenager on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious,” addressed the criticism in a conversation with content creator Crazy Sally while promoting the film.

“There’s a troubling comfort in how people feel free to comment on this,” the “Sweetener” singer remarked. “I’ve heard every interpretation of what’s supposedly wrong with me, and when you fix it, new issues arise.”

Pugh shares this sentiment, stating that “the main focus” for people seems to be “meaningless” remarks “about appearances,” she told the Times. “I chose not to follow those outdated rules. I’ve always enjoyed challenging problematic perceptions.”

Pugh frequently uses social media to respond to body shamers.

After facing backlash for a sheer dress she wore to a 2022 fashion show, she took to Instagram to defend her choice and urged critics to “grow up.”

“We have been taught to embrace our bodies’ natural forms and to be outspoken about our comfort levels,” the actress wrote in a detailed caption. She claimed it was her “duty in this industry” to counter expectations that dictate how bodies should conform to standards of beauty or sexual appeal.

“I want to challenge societal standards regarding how women are viewed,” Pugh explained to the Times. “I’m genuinely interested in the reactions of those who are still upset with me for not losing more weight or who dislike my nose ring. While I can’t change the entire narrative, I can certainly help pave the way for young women entering the industry by sparking conversations that have long been overlooked.”
