Dune: Part 2 Promotion Turns Sour for Florence Pugh
Social media users were shocked over the weekend when a video surfaced showing actress Florence Pugh getting hit in the face by an object thrown from the crowd during the promotion event for Dune: Part 2 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Pugh was posing for a photo with her co-stars Austin Butler, Timothée Chalamet, and Zendaya when the incident occurred. The identity of the mystery projectile-thrower remains unclear.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the incident happened after Pugh participated in a panel discussion about the upcoming film.
"I had a great time with these guys, not to mention actually working with them," Pugh said at the event. "Being here – the energy in this room – is all thanks to the first film. We felt like family every day we went to the set. So, it's really special to be here for the second film."
Such incidents involving artists being targeted by the audience have occurred before. Last year, musicians like Bebe Rexha and Harry Styles were hit with projectiles during performances.
CNN reached out to Pugh's representatives for a comment.
