According to Cinema Blend, Florence Pugh shed light on the size of her role in Oppenheimer while also talking about why Nolan apologized for it when he offered her the part. “I didn’t really know what was going on or what it was that was being made,” said Pugh adding, “Except I knew that Chris really, really, wanted me to know that it wasn’t a very big role and he understands if I don’t want to come near it.” She added, “And I was like, ‘Doesn’t matter.
