Florence Pugh Says ‘I Was Never Scared’ of Publicly Supporting Palestine and ‘I Don’t Know Why It Took So Long’ for Hollywood to ‘Start Talking’
Florence Pugh said she has likely lost hundreds of thousands of social-media followers because she publicly supports Palestine and promotes humanitarian aid. She said she was never afraid to speak out, and questioned why Hollywood took so long to discuss the suffering of Palestinians.
Pugh said no one on her team advised her to remain silent, including when she attended the Together for Palestine fundraiser despite a clash with filming Avengers: Doomsday. The event raised more than $2 million for humanitarian organisations, while Pugh stressed that civilians, including babies and mothers, continue to suffer.
