London: So, Florence Pugh just made waves by shaving her head for her new movie, We Live in Time. It’s out in cinemas now, and it’s a real emotional ride.

The film features her and Andrew Garfield as they navigate some heavy stuff. Florence surprised everyone when she showed up at the Met Gala with her new look last May.

But here’s the kicker: she did it for her role! Her character is dealing with cancer, which the trailer hints at. It’s a big deal, and she really went for it.

In a chat with British Vogue, she shared how strange it felt to lose her hair. She mentioned that hair holds so many memories and emotions, so shaving it off was a wild experience.

She said her head felt super sensitive afterward, and it was a bit overwhelming. Plus, she was always cold! It’s amazing how much hair can affect how we feel.

In a key moment of the film, Andrew’s character actually shaves her head. He was nervous about it, worried he might mess up the look of one of the best actors out there.

But he ended up finding it a beautiful and intimate scene to film. Thank goodness Florence has a great head shape, right?

Florence also mentioned that this role came at a perfect time for her. She was going through a lot of changes in her life, and cutting her hair felt like shedding old thoughts.

She wanted to step away from that glamorous Hollywood vibe and really dive into her character’s struggles. It was all about transformation for her.

Now, more than a year later, her hair has grown back, and she’s rocking a cute bob at the film’s events. It’s nice to see her embracing her new look!

We Live in Time is in cinemas now
