Florence Pugh sometimes gets a little too comfortable on set.
The 27-year-old revealed she’s actually fallen asleep while filming bed scenes in the past, admitting she sometimes heads back to her trailer to ‘have a 10-minute kip’ while people are setting things up.
It’s hardly a surprise either given Florence is one of the busiest women in Hollywood with recent film projects including Oppenheimer, Don’t Worry, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, A Good Person and most recently, The Boy and the Heron.
‘I love bed scenes,’ Florence enthused.
The Bafta-nominated star continued: ‘Oh my god, they are the best. Because, you need to lie in the bed as they set up and see what you’re going to do in the bed, and you’re like, “Well, I think I’m going to go like this, and then I’m going to
go like this, and then I’m going to go like this,” and like, “Okay, well, we need to do this, and this, and this, and this.”
‘And then they say, “Florence, do you want to go back to your trailer?” or, “Do you want to go back to you room?” I always say no, and I just stay there like a good little bean, because then they don’t need anyone to come in and help light.’
She told Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on the Christmas episode of their Dish podcast: ‘I just lie there and I have a full on kip and that’s when I sleep my best. Because everybody’s just pottering about.’

Florence recalled the time she fell asleep on the set of 2016’s Lady Macbeth, in which she starred as Katherine.
‘I actually once fell asleep. It was my second movie, Lady Macbeth, and I’d done a whole, like, set up where they’d done all the lighting and they were ready to shoot and I was still in sleeping mode, obviously,’ she explained.
‘And the scene was that I would be asleep, and then after some time, I would wake up, and then the action for the sunrise or whatever would happen.
‘And so Will [Oldroyd], the director, was like, “Okay, so Florence, in your own time, you’re obviously gonna be sleeping and then you wake up in your own time and we’ll just be filming your, you know, you’re waking up and it’s exciting,” and I’m like, “yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, got it, got it.”‘
Despite being in a room surrounded by people, Florence insisted that’s when she sleeps the best.

She went on: ‘Close my eyes, fall asleep, they’re filming, and then eventually part of my brain is like, “Oh s**t oh s**t,” and I wake up in like a startle like, [gasps] But I’m like, I’m like acting waking up like, “Ahhh.”
‘Anyway, he calls cut and he comes over and he’s like, “Yeah, good good. So I think next time we’ll just shorten the sleeping bit.”‘
Florence has been busy promoting her upcoming film Dune: Part Two, in which she plays Princess Irulan Corrino.
Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Austin Butler and Rebecca Ferguson are also among the star-studded cast.
Earlier this month, a clip showing Florence being hit in the face by an object while attending a panel talk at the comic convention CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil did the rounds online.
Series 4 of Dish from Waitrose & Partners, hosted by Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, is available on all podcast providers now.
