‘I Just Stopped Him’: Florence Pugh Shares Her Experience of Going Bald For Andrew Garfield Starrer We Live in Time

As a dedicated fan and follower of Florence Pugh’s illustrious career, I find myself consistently awestruck by her unwavering commitment to her craft. Her recent transformation for the film “We Live in Time” is yet another testament to her extraordinary talent and dedication. The decision to shave her head for authenticity in portraying Almut’s journey is a move that only a true artist would make, demonstrating an unparalleled level of immersion into the character she plays.


Florence Pugh recently opened up about her experience of shaving her head while filming John Crowley’s movie “We Live in Time.” The script by Nick Payne presents a captivating tale of love lasting over the years, with Andrew Garfield joining Pugh in this romantic drama. In the course of portraying Almut, her character, Pugh’s on-screen life takes unexpected turns, including a cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment. To authentically embody her role, Pugh chose to baldly, generating media attention for her brave choice

At the Met Gala, Pugh appeared with a bald head, leading to many speculations. However, she clarified to Vanity Fair, “There was an odd rumor circulating online suggesting that I shaved my head to reclaim my identity, which is something I’ve never expressed in my entire life.”

She made it clear to the media outlet that accurately portraying her character’s journey required complete dedication. The actress felt strongly that this role demanded an authentic physical transformation. Turning down other offers, such as wigs, she decided to shave her head. She explained, “John, no one can play a character like this in a movie like this without doing the necessary transformation.” And if you’re not willing to do it, she feels that you shouldn’t be taking on a role like this

As a dedicated follower, I’d like to share my take on the movie, We Live in Time. In this unique tale, I, Almut – a London-based culinary whiz – cross paths with Tobias, an employee of Weetabix who has a surprising romantic past. Their love story unfolds in an atypical timeline due to a life-altering event: a head-on car collision that leaves Tobias injured and changes their lives forever. The official synopsis describes it as, “An aspiring chef and a divorced man find their destinies intertwined in a deeply emotional, decade-spanning romance.”

Instead of following a traditional, straightforward narrative of romance with beginning, middle, and end, this film delves into the couple’s romance at various stages throughout their relationship, offering a more enlightening and revealing perspective on their relationship. Crowley found this approach particularly intriguing, as it presents a deeper understanding of their relationship by intertwining multiple time perspectives rather than adhering to the conventional linear structure, which he considers rather monotonous, as he expressed in his interview with the outlet

On October 11, 2024, A24’s movie “We Live in Time,” featuring Florence Pugh, Andrew Garfield, and Grace Delaney, will be released in cinemas. This film initially had its world debut at the Toronto Film Festival on September 6
