Florence Pugh said her first Hollywood role made her feel like shed made a massive mistake.

In a recent interview with The Telegraph , the British actor, now 26, recalled being pressured to completely change her appearance at age 19, after she left the U.K. for Los Angeles and landed a lead role in a pilot.

Pugh had been cast in Studio City, a dramedy about a pop star on the rise. The show was also to star Eric McCormack and Heather Graham. I felt very lucky and grateful, and couldnt believe that I had got this top-of-the-game job, Pugh told The Telegraph.

But once she got the part, executives began telling her she needed to make changes.

All the things that they were trying to change about me whether it was my weight, my look, the shape of my face, the shape of my eyebrows that was so not what I wanted to do, or the industry I wanted to work in, Pugh said.
