Florence Pugh received an unexpected apology from Christopher Nolan regarding her role in "Oppenheimer," as he acknowledged its limited size and potential challenges. Pugh shared that Nolan's apology was prompted by her character's less screen time compared to others in the film. Pugh stated, "I remember he apologized about the size of the role, and I was like, ‘Please don’t apologize.’ And then he said, ‘We’ll send you the script, and honestly, you just read it and you decide if it’s, I completely understand the sizing thing.’ And I remember that evening, when I got the script, being like, ‘I know I’m going to do it.’"
Florence further explained, "I didn't really know what was going on or what it was that was being made. 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. And I was like, ‘Doesn’t matter. Even if I’m a coffee maker at a cafe in the back of the room, let’s do it.’"
