“I was so wrapped up in her, and I’ve never had this ever before with any of my characters,” Florence said on the Off Menu podcast about playing her character Dani according to Variety. “I’d never played someone that was in that much pain before, and I would put myself in really sh-tty situations that maybe other actors don’t need to do but I would just be imagining the worst things.”
As the subject matter got “more weird and harder to do,” she said that she was “putting things in my head that were getting worse and more bleak.”
“I think by the end I probably, most definitely abused my own self in order to get that performance,” she added.
That led to very conflicted feelings about moving on to Little Women.
“I remember looking [out the plane] and feeling immense guilt because I felt like I’d left [Dani] in that field in that state,” she recalled. “It’s so weird. I’ve never had that before.”
She continued, saying, “Obviously, that’s probably a psychological thing where I felt immense guilt of what I’d put myself through but I definitely felt like I’d left her there in that field to be abused.”
Florence said it was “almost like I’d created this person and then I just left her there to go and do another movie.”
The actress recently revealed the big commitment she made while starring in her new movie A Good Person.
Speaking of, we bet you didn’t know about Florence‘s hidden talent, which she displayed in the new movie.
