She stripped completely naked for viewers in William Oldroyd's 2017 drama Lady Macbeth.
But Florence Pugh vowed to never lose weight for a role on Thursday, after revealing she was once asked to be 'skinny' by a director.
Speaking to The Sun, the actress, who has been nominated for the EE Rising Star Award at this year's BAFTAs, confirmed she will never conform to such ideals, as she is only concerned with playing 'interesting women who spark conversation'.

She confessed to the paper: 'I've been told to be skinny before – it's already happened, but it's up to you to either listen or say no.
'I'm not listening. It shapes who you want to be and what character you want to play. I'm looking for characters – interesting women that spark conversation.'
Genuine: While she admitted the scenes were difficult to film, Florence vowed to continue to portray 'real bodies' on screen, in order to avoid stereotype and provide an unrealistic view

Florence stripped completely naked for her most recent film Lady Macbeth, in which she portrayed Katharine Lester - a young woman who is unsatisfied with her loveless marriage to an older man.
Eager to escape her oppression, Katharine instead embarks on a passionate but dangerous affair with labourer Sebastian, played by Cosmo Jarvis.
While she admitted the scenes were difficult to film, Florence vowed to continue to portray 'real bodies' on screen, in order to avoid stereotype and provide an unrealistic view.
She added: 'For me, I really appreciate seeing real bodies on screen, that variation, not the same frames we saw for the majority of our upbringing making us feel like was have to look that way.'
Controversial: In the film she played Katharine Lester - a young woman who is unsatisfied with her loveless marriage to an older man, so embarks on a passionate affair with a labourer

Oxford-born Florence received critical acclaim for her role in the film - which no doubt contributed to her BAFTA nomination on Thursday.
The Marcella star was nominated in the EE Rising Star category, alongside Tessa Thompson, Daniel Kaluuya, Josh O’Connor and Timothee Chalamet.
After receiving the prestigious nod, she said: 'The journey to get to this rewarding moment has been exhilarating, and so to feel recognition for doing something I love and the hard work many have put in feels very touching.'
