And the A-lister didn\u2019t hold back her thoughts on the notable double standards she\u2019s experienced within the business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pugh\u2019s breakthrough role arguably came by way of 2016\u2019s <em>Lady Macbeth<\/em> and, since then, she\u2019s worked quite consistently, landing roles in major projects. All of that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the road has been \u2013 or is \u2013 easy for her to travel down, though. Pugh spoke with The Mirror (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-15745605\/Florence-Pugh-calls-sexism-Hollywood-says-different-animal-women-men-urges-people-challenge-body-shaming.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:DailyMail;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;DailyMail&quot;}\" class=\"link \">celebrity.land<\/a>) and opened up about the challenges women face carving out lanes for themselves within the acting profession. The <em>Midsommar<\/em> star specifically spoke to how people\u2019s perceptions of men and women \u2013 both figuratively and literally \u2013 vary:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hollywood is a different animal for women than it is for men. If it&#8217;s a man, they are strong-willed &#8211; if it&#8217;s a woman they&#8217;re a diva. How often do you read online comments about men&#8217;s body shapes?

Someone could argue that such descriptors are used when a woman tries to defend herself or ask questions regarding the work they\u2019re doing. Pugh also makes a good point when it comes to how men\u2019s bodies are viewed compared to women\u2019s. There\u2019s a particularly high amount of scrutiny that women receive for the way they look compared to men. Pugh previously <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/not-everybody-legs-days-florence-200215943.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:discussed how women\u2019s bodies were judged;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;discussed how women\u2019s bodies were judged&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">discussed how women\u2019s bodies were judged<\/a>, and she has first-hand experience with backlash due to that 2022 situation involving <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/florence-pugh-has-a-message-for-those-terrified-of-her-nipples-after-rocking-completely-sheer-valentino-dress\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:her Pink Valentino sheer dress;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;her Pink Valentino sheer dress&quot;}\" class=\"link \">her Pink Valentino sheer dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">From the perspective of the business, there is certainly a patriarchy that still exists, and that system can have damaging effects on a female artist\u2019s trajectory. Pugh doesn\u2019t claim to have all the answers, of course, but she did share suggest a few courses of action that could be implemented to better the landscape for younger female performers and seasoned ones:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s especially challenging for younger women&#8230; and as women in the industry, we all need to find our voice and start calling out stereotypes or so-called ideals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That\u2019s certainly a positive message, and it\u2019s one that may resonate not only with Pugh\u2019s peers but with women in other industries who are facing similar challenges. Something that\u2019s arguably endeared Pugh to people is her willingness to be so candid in certain respects. It\u2019s honestly great to see a star like her succeed within the business, but it\u2019s also admirable to see one who speaks truth to power about what she views as inequalities in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">See Florence Pugh shine on the big screen when both <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> and <em>Dune: Part Three<\/em> open on December 18 as part of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/upcoming-movies-in-2026-new-movie-release-dates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:2026 movie schedule;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;2026 movie schedule&quot;}\" class=\"link \">2026 movie schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
