Florence Pugh is hesitant to play another role like the one she portrayed in 2019 horror “Midsommar,” saying she felt like she “abused” herself and was “broken for a long while afterwards.”

Florence Pugh said during a recent interview on the “Reign with Josh Smith” podcast (via People) that she is not likely to do a role like “Midsommar” again because she feels like she abused herself while playing the film’s protagonist Dani,

Despite what an emotionally taxing acting experience shooting Midsommar was, Florence Pugh said she carries no shame with her:

Florence Pugh says she "definitely abused myself" while making the Ari Aster horror movie "Midsommar," released in 2019.

Florence Pugh shared how her intense preparation for the role of Dani in Ari Aster's Midsommar took an emotional toll, describing how she 'abused' herself to portray the character's grief and trauma.

Back in March 2023, Pugh, who earned an Oscar nomination for 2019's Little Women, echoed that her time on Midsommar was draining. The film also starred Will Poulter, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper and Vilhelm Blomgren.

Florence Pugh can't play roles like Dani in 'Midsommar' again as she "abused herself too much" due to putting herself through psychological pain.
