Pugh also discussed the topic of cutting her own hair with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. "It was my idea," she shared with Fallon. "I was like, 'Zach (Braff), I think I should chop my hair off at the beginning of the movie. And he was like, 'Cool. That's not gonna work.' It was like, 'How do we do this shooting in order?' And I was like, 'You'll figure it out.'" Pugh then revealed that Braff "came and spoke to me, very tentatively and was like, 'Florence, we can't do this, we need to use a wig.' And I was like, 'You'll figure it out.'" Clearly, Pugh's determination worked in her favor. "And they figured it out! I did it!" she told Fallon, laughing along with the crowd.
As told by Pugh, the process was made more difficult by the fact they had to keep changing the setup when shooting the scene. "There was one portion for about half an hour where I had one really long strand of hair down to my hip, and then the rest of it was short, like a unicorn. It's like the ultimate mullet," Pugh joked while showing the audience a photo of her on set.
