Florence Pugh is opening up about being a woman in Hollywood.

The 28-year-old star spoke out to The Sunday Times, explaining how it’s “exhausting” and relating to Keira Knightley, who was publicly shamed by the press.

“I remember watching this industry and feeling that I wasn’t represented,” she continued.

She also recently revealed a serious diagnosis, and why she froze her eggs.
