British actress Florence Pugh said people are scared of the fact that she is “comfortable and happy” in her own skin, because “keeping women down by commenting on their bodies has worked for a very long time”.

Pugh, 27, said she is not afraid to show cellulite on her thigh or “squidge in between my arm and my boob” and would instead prefer to “lay it all out” over hiding herself away.
