When asked about her decision to go with a shorter new hairdo, Pugh toldRadio Timesthat she “wanted vanity out of the picture.”
“Hollywood is very glamorous — especially for women — and it’s hard for an audience to see past that,” she said, perThe Daily Mail. “Whenever I’ve not needed to be glam or have a full face of makeup, I fight to keep it that way. It helps the audience.”
Pugh said she has fought to control her image from the start of her career and enjoys having people look at her “raw face.”
“It helps me when I’m wearing less makeup because then I’m less of a sparkly thing on screen,” she explained. “I feel like I’m allowed to do ugly faces like it’s more acceptable.”
