Florence Pugh has set a Guinness world record for jumping from the world's second highest building, Merdeka 118, while filming Thunderbolts*.
During an interview with Variety, she spoke openly about her experience recording the stunt action in which she leaped off a 2,000-foot-tall skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur.
"I wanted to undertake that stunt because I knew we'd all get to do it. "Yes, I got to jump off the world's second-tallest building, but so did everyone else," the actress explained.
"That day in Malaysia was a success for all of us," she added. "We all got to say that we worked on that stunt, and what an impressive and powerful way to start a movie!"
The Hollywood actress played the highly talented spy and assassin Yelena Belova, also known as Black Widow, in the Marvel film opposite Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Harrison Ford, and Olga Kurylenko.
Furthermore, she provided her grandmother's, whom she referred to as Granzo Pat, her thoughts on her stunt and the movie. "She adored the film. She said, "Brilliant, darling." 'Very exciting,' but I didn't ask her what she thought of the jump."
"She's also crazy, like she's someone that does some pretty mad stuff, so maybe she just thought that was a walk in the park," Florence Pugh says.
Thunderbolts* debuted on May 2, 2025.
