In a startling incident this past weekend, actress Florence Pugh, known for her most recent role in Dune: Part Two, faced an unexpected ordeal while on stage.

The 27-year-old actress was struck in the face by an unknown object during a fan convention in Brazil. The incident occurred at CCXP 2023 in Brazil on Dec. 3 while was promoting her upcoming movie.

Details of the Disturbing Incident

Witnesses and fans captured the moment on video, which quickly spread on social media.

The footage shows Pugh flinching and mouthing "ow," a natural reaction to the sudden impact. She then proceeded to wipe her face and pick up the object that had struck her.

While the nature of the object remains unclear, there is no current information on whether the actress sustained any injuries from the incident.

Rising Concern Over Performers' Safety

This event is part of a worrying trend involving public figures being hit with objects while on stage. In recent times, several other celebrities have faced similar situations during their performances.
