Florence Pugh hits out at Hollywood beauty standards and says she finds traditional ideas 'frustrating' as she struggles to 'fix into a box'

Florence Pugh has revealed she is pushing back on Hollywood beauty standards after becoming tired of people discussing her body. 

The actress, 28, has admitted that she has found traditional ideas of beauty frustrating and said that she just wants to feel seen and represented on screen. 

The Little Women star told The Times that she has found it difficult to fit in to the suggested boxes offered to actresses because she is too 'gobby'.

She added that she has been frustrated throughout her career with being perceived as a diva or difficult to work with for voicing her opinions.

Florence said: 'There are fine lines women have to stay within, otherwise they are called a diva, demanding, problematic. And I don't want to fit into stereotypes made by others.'

The Lady Macbeth star went on to explain that throughout her decade-long career on the big screen she has been subjected to trolls and criticism over her body but explained she is trying to challenge this. 

She told the publication: 'The only thing people want to talk about is some useless c**p about how they look. And so I didn't care to abide by those rules. I've loved challenging ideas I don't like.'

An the star is not just fighting against how she is viewers, but the entire discourse around women. 

She explained: 'I wanted to challenge how women were perceived. I just wanted to be there, to make space for a version of a person that isn't all the things they used to have to be.'

Florence added she isn't bothered by what trolls have to say about her anymore and is proud of the way she looks but revealed she had to shout louder and say how she felt which took time. 'I am a bit too gobby and argumentative,' she said. 

'A bit too yappy. But I wouldn’t be able to not say how I feel, especially when it’s me being attacked. 

She previously hit back at cruel trolls who criticised her for going braless in a sheer hot pink Valentino gown, questioning how her 'nipples' could have 'offended' people.

The actress was cruelly trolled after wearing a sheer gown at the Valentino fashion show in Rome last year.

At the time, she hit back at the comments she received from 'vulgar' men as well as those who chose to 'publicly destroy a woman's body' with their remarks.

Abd after ten years under intense scrutiny, the Midsommer star explained that wrapping filming for her latest romantic drama We Live In Time with Andrew Garfield led her to re-evaluate her life. 

The film sees Almut (Florence) and Tobias (Andrew) brought together in a surprise meeting that changes their lives forever.

Through snapshots of their life together - including falling for each other, creating a home and building a family - a difficult truth is uncovered that rocks the relationship's foundation to the core.

As they embark on a 10-year romance that is challenged by time limits, they learn to treasure every moment of their unconventional love story.

The blonde beauty said that she is now trying to take a step back from work and her enjoy herself after throwing her all in to some of her most challenging roles.

The Fighting With My Family actress said that after some intense periods of filming, and looking at the world around her she realised she needed to 'wake the f**k up' and look after herself. 

And so she will be spending Christmas with her family in Oxford where she will be on hand as sous chef to help her father Clinton cook a festive feast. 

She also admitted that she finds life on the road lonely and is looking forward to shifting her focus away form the awards she might win and the next starring role she takes on and more towards ticking off her personal milestones. 

Florence's admission comes after she confessed in an interview with Vogue that she regretted missing out on key aspects of her life. 

The Don't Worry Darling star said now is the first time in her busy career that she has asked for a break as she 'hates how much of her life she has missed'.

She explained: 'I’m an absolute work maniac, [but] I can see I’m exhausted. I suddenly woke up last year and I was like, "I hate how much of my life I’ve missed". Yes, I want to have a career forever, but that’s not going to happen if I work myself into the ground.'

It follows Florence's confirmation of her relationship status after sparking romance rumours with Peaky Blinders star Finn Cole earlier this month.

The actress was seen slipping out of The Perfect Couple premiere after-party as she made a quick getaway with the actor.

Confirming her loved-up status during her cover shoot with Vogue, she said: 'I am. OK, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it's falling in love.'

Opening up about her love life, she candidly revealed that the couple are 'figuring it out' and admitted she is ready to start a family.

She added: 'We are figuring what we actually are. And I think for the first time, I'm not allowing myself to go on a roller-coaster.

'I'm allowing myself to take time to let something evolve and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into that.'
