Actor hit while promoting dune: Part two in São Paulo, Brazil – fans condemn alarming trend

In a startling turn of events at the São Paulo Comic Con, Florence Pugh, star of the upcoming film Dune: Part Two, faced a ‘disturbing’ incident when a flying object struck her in the face during a panel alongside co-stars Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler, and Zendaya.

The incident unfolded as the cast and director Denis Villeneuve posed for pictures before leaving the stage at the event. Florence Pugh’s fellow cast members immediately checked on the Oscar-nominated actor to ensure her well-being after the unexpected incident.

Prior to the incident, Florence Pugh expressed her excitement about being involved in a Dune sequel during the panel. She shared her admiration for the power generated by the first movie, acknowledging the incredible experience of working with her co-stars.

However, the incident took center stage on social media, with many condemning the act, which seems to be an alarming trend in recent months. Expressing concern, one user on X (formerly known as Twitter) remarked, “Fans’ recent behaviors are disturbing.” Another added, “It’s going to get to the point where people do not want to do live events or concerts if they have to be worried about people throwing stuff at them and getting hurt.”

The incident is part of a concerning trend where celebrities are becoming targets of objects thrown from crowds. This follows a similar incident involving R&B singer Ari Lennox, who was struck by a bottle thrown by a fan during Rod Wave’s Nostalgia tour in Los Angeles. Lennox immediately halted her set, expressing her disapproval and threatening consequences for the responsible party.

As social media users and fans continue to condemn such incidents, questions arise about the potential impact on live events and the safety of celebrities during public appearances.
