Florence Pugh On Doing ‘A Good Person’
British actress Florence Pugh was in a relationship with actor-director Zac Braff from 2019 to 2022. They collaborated on Braff’s 2019 short film ‘In the Time it Takes to Get There.’
The former couple is collaborating once again for the drama film ‘A Good Person.’ In her appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, the 27-year-old actress said that it was her idea to cut her actual hair for the film.
“I was like, ‘Zach, I think I should chop my hair off at the beginning of the movie.’ And he was like, ‘The beginning of the movie – cool. That’s not gonna work,’” she said.
She told the crew who were worried about shooting it, “You’ll figure it out.” Braff tried to convince her to use a wig but Pugh was adamant about chopping off her hair for real. Pugh said that people were “really anxious” shooting that scene they only had one take to get it. However, she “found it really liberating.”
