Washington [US], October 26 (ANI): Director John Crowley recently revealed that actress Florence Pugh surprised him by shaving her head for her role in the upcoming film ‘We Live in Time’. Pugh made the bold choice without consulting anyone, catching the director off guard.
“She didn’t tell anybody [that she was shaving her head]. It was sort of terrifying to me. I was like, ‘Wow, that’s really ballsy,'” Crowley told The Hollywood Reporter.
During their first meeting, Crowley remembered that Pugh told him, “The first time I met her, she said, ‘Oh, by the way, I want to shave my head.’ And before I met her, I had assumed she would probably say to me, ‘What are we going to do about the shaving of the head?'”
Although her new look ended up not being necessary when Marvel’s Thunderbolts had to pause production in June 2023 due to the writers’ strike, Crowley was still grateful for her commitment. He compared her dedication to that of actor Gerard Butler, who had previously supported a smaller indie film.
Pugh’s decision to shave her head showed her strong belief in keeping things authentic. The actress refused to use bald wigs, feeling they wouldn’t look right. Crowley admired her courage and creativity.
“The smaller, more independent film was the one where the actor was saying, ‘This is the one I’m going to pitch my stake in the ground for and not creatively compromise on,'” he said.
We Live in Time stars Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield in their first collaboration. The movie, written by Nick Payne, explores themes of love, grief, and redemption. Both Pugh and Garfield have been praised for their acting skills, making this film highly anticipated by audiences. (ANI)
