While promoting “Dune: Part Two,” Florence Pugh was hit in the face.

The risk of being hit by flying objects at public events is not just a concern for singers, as a recent incident involving actress Florence Pugh demonstrates. During a promotional event for “Dune: Part Two” in São Paulo, Brazil, Pugh was unexpectedly struck in the face by an object thrown from the audience. The event, which garnered significant attention on social media, showed the actress in a compromising situation while she was engaged in a photo session with her co-stars Austin Butler, Timothée Chalamet, and Zendaya.

The exact identity of the person who threw the object, as well as the nature of the object itself, remains unknown. The unsettling episode occurred shortly after Pugh had finished participating in a panel discussion about the highly anticipated film. This discussion had been an opportunity for Pugh to express her enthusiasm about joining the cast and working on the sequel to the successful first installment of “Dune.”

Speaking at the event, Pugh reflected on her experiences working on “Dune: Part Two.” She spoke fondly of the time spent with her co-stars and the unique energy they brought to the set, influenced by the acclaim of the first film. Pugh emphasized the special nature of being a part of the sequel and the collective power she felt on set, highlighting the significance of the project in her career.

This incident with Pugh is part of a troubling trend of celebrities facing unexpected hazards from audience members. In the past year, various artists, including Bebe Rexha and Harry Styles, have also been victims of similar situations where they were hit by items thrown from the crowd during their performances. This series of events underscores the need for increased safety measures at public appearances and events to protect celebrities from such unpredictable and potentially harmful actions.
