TIME Names Florence Pugh One Of Their Next Generation Leaders

Florence Pugh is featured in TIME’s Next Generation Leaders list for 2023. The young actress’ star has been quickly on the rise these past few years and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. Highlights from her piece are below.

On the possibility of having her own cooking show: “Conversations are happening. If I were to make something, I wouldn’t want it to be polished or clean or fussy.”

On landing the lead role in the WWE Fighting With My Family: “The person I came back to was a female wrestler with muscles and big thighs who made her own name as a champion. I quite liked that because the last time I’d been there I was told I needed to lose weight—it was just so not the person I wanted to be.”

On the indie communities response to her joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe: “So many people in the indie film world were really pissed off at me. They were like, ‘Great, now she’s gone forever’. And I’m like, no, I’m working as hard as I used to work. I’ve always done back-to-back movies. It’s just people are watching them now. You just have to be a bit more organized with your schedule.”
