вЂњWe werenвЂ™t allowed to look at the monitor because we would be acting for vanity,вЂќ Pugh says. Pugh had a gentle introduction to the industry, aged 17 (and still in sixth form), with a part in the enigmatic coming-of-age drama The Falling (2014), largely because director Carol Morley prevented the cast (most of whom were school age) from watching themselves on screen.

You never see a normal spot, a bag under the eye or an unplucked eyebrow, because thatвЂ™s not how Hollywood works.вЂќ What we donвЂ™t realise when we watch a normal film is how many times someone has run in just before a shot quickly to wipe away that sweaty moustache. As beautiful as cinema is, itвЂ™s a massive part of the problem of why we look at ourselves in the way we do. вЂњEverybody was gross and dirty and hairy I was over the moon to be watching something where not one person was movie-ready. But I get to be here, representing this woman whose storyline has been stripped from her.вЂ™вЂќД®qually empowering, she says, was watching early footage at the wrap party вЂ“ something thatвЂ™s normally awkward, because вЂњitвЂ™s so difficult to not look at your flawsвЂќ. It was an amazing moment because, while the industry was kicking off, it was like, вЂOK, yeah, here is an example where there arenвЂ™t that many women in this film and that is sad. вЂњIt was during the time everyone was like, вЂWe need more women.вЂ™ But I was on set with 100 of these incredibly intelligent, wonderful men and we all looked after each other. That shoot coincided with the start of the #MeToo movement, which Pugh says was a heightened experience because she was one of the few women on set. вЂњIt was all on Chris PineвЂ™s penis! ItвЂ™s just a penis,вЂќ she laughs. Chris Pine stars as Scottish king Robert the Bruce, with Pugh as his queen, and most of all, the critics seem preoccupied with PineвЂ™s вЂњfull-frontal nudityвЂќ. We meet soon after Outlaw King has just premiered at Toronto film festival, to mixed reviews. But that doesnвЂ™t sound as good! After Lady Macbeth, it wasвЂ¦ I mean, everybody knows everything now.вЂќ Will there be an equivalent to the #Hiddlesbum phenomenon, when Tom HiddlestonвЂ™s naked bottom stole the scene from Elizabeth Debicki? вЂњI think thereвЂ™s a Pugh bum at some point.

In a few months, she flies to Boston, because Lady Bird director Greta Gerwig has cast her in a big-screen adaptation of Little Women alongside Saoirse Ronan and Chalamet. ItвЂ™s Midsommar that has brought the Oxford-born actor to Budapest.

вЂњWe both got told off by our reps for doing that, but it was one of those amazing moments.вЂќ Pugh had just come off a night shoot when she FaceTimed him, and вЂњusually when you do those Skype, you beat around the bush, but we were both so tired, we were like, вЂIвЂ™m yoursвЂ™,вЂќ she says softly. There has to be some level of fear.вЂќД«ut then Ari Aster, horror film director du jour, came calling, asking her to take the lead in Midsommar, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Hereditary. вЂњI was scared, of course, but I always like to be. вЂњIt was such a rewarding but intense shoot,вЂќ she says.
