Florence Pugh has said she no longer tolerates bad behaviour on film sets.
She told Elle that she has learned how to lead a production and protect herself.
“Every time I work on a movie, I get more confident in the way that I can protect myself and the way that I can lead a film set, and just not stand for bullshit anymore. I’m not doing it,” Pugh said.

“I’m not standing for bullshit behaviour. I’m not standing for bullshit attitude. I’m not allowing for people to be rude to the crew.”
She said confidence comes with experience, and that she now wants to work with the right people. Once someone makes the atmosphere feel off, she said, “everybody feels it.”
The Oscar nominee was clear about what she wants from colleagues.
“I don’t want to deal with messy,” she said. “It’s just about surrounding yourself with professionals who have the same way of working in mind: Show up on time, don’t be rude, don’t be a misogynist.”
Pugh is enjoying a strong end to the year.
Her performance in Netflix’s East of Eden has drawn acclaim, and she will be in two big releases on 18 December: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.
