British actress Florence Pugh has revealed that shaving her head for her latest movie role was a 'really bizarre' experience that sent her body 'into a bit of trauma.'
British actress Florence Pugh has revealed that shaving her head for her latest movie role was a “really bizarre” experience that sent her body “into a bit of trauma.”
The 28-year-old had to lose her hair for “We Live in Time,” a tear-jerking romance in which she stars alongside fellow British actor Andrew Garfield.
The movie follows the couple over a decade of their relationship, which changes forever after a medical diagnosis.
In an interview with British Vogue published Wednesday, Pugh revealed that the dramatic haircut triggered both a physical and emotional response.
“In many religions, hair is the most precious thing on the body – it's where you store your memories and your dreams and your history. (Shaving) it was really bizarre,” said Pugh, whose previous credits include “Oppenheimer,” “Dune: Part Two” and “Little Women.”
“My head was so sensitive and so many people were trying to touch it and it was so alive. My body went into a bit of trauma from it. I was cold all the time,” said Pugh, whose character Almut is a figure skater-turned-chef.
Co-star Garfield was the one to shave her head for the movie. He told the magazine that “it was a privilege to be given that job,” although he was nervous.
