00:00 Florence Pugh is the latest star to be hit in the face by a flying object on stage,
00:04 which occurred during a Dune fan event. The actress made an appearance at CCXP 2023 on Sunday,
00:11 along with her fellow Dune Part II stars, when an object was thrown in her direction,
00:16 seemingly from the audience, and hit her in the face.
00:18 Pugh can be seen flinching before putting her hand to her face and leaning over to pick up
00:26 the object. It's unclear what the object actually was. The Dune Part II cast and filmmaker were at
00:32 the convention on Sunday to promote their upcoming sci-fi sequel. Meanwhile, Pugh joins a growing
00:37 list of celebrities who have been hit by objects thrown by fans while on stage. Earlier this year,
00:42 Bebe Rexha had to get stitches near her eyebrow after she was hit by a cell phone thrown during
00:47 a concert in New York. Harry Styles also was hit in the eye this summer during a performance,
00:52 as were Kelsey Ballerini, who was struck in the face by what many believe to be a bracelet,
00:57 and Kid Cudi by a water bottle in the face during a concert.
01:00 Todd Dukes, who works in executive protection for Justin Timberlake,
01:04 told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year that the trend is "quite concerning."
01:08 I don't know what the mindsets of the fans are right now.
