Actress Florence Pugh was hit in the face by an object thrown by someone in the audience during CCXP 2023, on Sunday (3), in São Paulo.
She participated in the event to promote the film “Dune: Part 2”, which is due to premiere in 2024.
A video shows the moment in which she is posing for a photo alongside other actors who are also part of the film, such as Austin Butler, Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, and is hit in the face.
Absurd lack of awareness of the person who threw an object towards the actors of #Dune and ended up hitting Florence Pugh in the face. Clueless is not enough, never do that 🤦🏻♀️

The moment was recorded on the live broadcast of the event. Both Pugh and the other actors seem confused by what happened.
On social media, internet users criticized the fan’s attitude. At events of this type and at shows, it has become increasingly common for fans to try to throw gifts or objects at their idols, creating the risk of hitting them violently.
