Florence Pugh Reveals How She Really Feels About Social Media

Florence Pugh rocks a deep shade of blue lipstick in this shot from her digital cover story with Glamour UK.

The 23-year-old Little Women actress opened up about the upcoming movie, why she put her life on hold for her career and more.

In the feature, Florence even admits that she sees social media, especially Instagram as “a bit of a joke.”

She adds that she has “a sister who’s seven years younger than me and it’s made me acutely aware of the negatives of social media. The impact it has on her life at every stage of the day is unbelievable. The idea that life doesn’t stop when school ends, it continues into the night and your issues continue too, is awful.”

Florence continues, “I’d hate growing up like that. Seeing that has made me more conscious of everyone’s constant impulse to have whatever is on their phone so I try not to add to that as much as I can. It’s pretty gross at times, right? Everybody has an impact because everyone is adopting a pretend persona on Insta and it’s terrifying. The problem is that social media is based around insecurity and it wouldn’t work unless everyone is insecure.”

She also has no room in her life for naysayers and trolls: “You just have to move on.”
