Florence Pugh was pelted in the face with an object during an appearance at CCXP São Paulo on Sunday.
According to Huffpost, the incident took place while the actress was promoting “Dune: Part Two” with her co-stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Austin Butler and director Denis Villeneuve at the Comic Con event in Brazil.
In video from the scene circulating on social media, the group can be seen smiling for photos as an object lobbed from the audience flies into frame and hits the “Midsommar” star below her right eye.

Pugh winced as the item made impact, causing co-star Butler to jolt back and drop his jaw before checking if she was OK.
Appearing to keep her composure, the star brushed her face with the back of her hand and then crouched down to retrieve whatever hit her while her co-stars checked in.
The flying object from CCXP São Paolo is just another example of the troubling projectile trend public figures have been facing in recent months.
Drake, Lil Nas X and Harry Styles each had items chucked at them during concerts this year.
