Florence Pugh[a] (/pjuː/ PEW; born 3 January 1996) is an English actress. She made her debut in the mystery film The Falling (2014) and gained recognition for her leading role as an unhappily married woman in the independent drama Lady Macbeth (2016). Her performance in the latter won her the BIFA Award for Best Actress. She also drew critical praise for her leading role in the miniseries The Little Drummer Girl (2018).
Pugh's international breakthrough came in 2019 with her portrayals of wrestler Paige in the biographical sports film Fighting with My Family, an emotionally troubled woman in the horror film Midsommar, and Amy March in the coming-of-age period film Little Women. For the lattermost, she received nominations for an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award.
Early life
Florence Rose C. M. Pugh[2] was born on 3 January 1996[3] in Oxford,[4] the daughter of restaurateur Clinton Pugh[5] and dancer and dance teacher Deborah Pugh.[6][7] She has three siblings: actor and musician Toby Sebastian, actress Arabella Gibbins, and Rafaela "Raffie" Pugh.[7][8] She suffered from tracheomalacia as a child and was frequently hospitalised. When she was three, the family relocated to Sotogrande in Spain, hoping the warmer weather would improve her health. They lived there until she was six years old, at which point they moved back to Oxford.[8][9] Pugh's love of accents and comedy was first displayed at age six when she played Mary in a school nativity play, giving Mary a Yorkshire accent.[7] She was privately educated at Wychwood School and St Edward's School,[6][10] but disliked how the schools did not support her acting ambitions.[11]
Career
2014–2018: Career beginnings
While still in school, Pugh made her professional acting debut in the mystery drama The Falling (2014), in which she played a precocious teenager opposite Maisie Williams.[7][12] Tara Brady of The Irish Times called her "remarkable" and Mike McCahill of The Daily Telegraph said she conveyed her character's "teen-queen bearing with the vulnerability of one still unsure of her own body".[13][14] In the same year, Pugh was nominated for Best British Newcomer at the BFI London Film Festival and for Best Young British/Irish performer by the London Film Critics' Circle.[15]
Pugh made her American television debut in the Fox's pilot Studio City, co-starring Eric McCormack, in 2015.[7][16] The next year, she starred in the independent drama Lady Macbeth and had a recurring role as a webcam model in the first season of the ITV detective series Marcella.[17] In the former, based on the novella Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District by Nikolai Leskov, she played a young girl unhappily married to a much older man. Reviewing the film for Variety, Guy Lodge called Pugh a "a major talent to watch" and praised her portrayal of her character's "complex, under-the-skin transformation".[18] For her performance, she won the BIFA Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a British Independent Film, among others.[19]
In 2018, Pugh appeared in the action film The Commuter and played Cordelia to Anthony Hopkins's Leir of Britain in Richard Eyre's television film King Lear.[20] Later that year, she portrayed Elizabeth de Burgh in the Netflix historical film Outlaw King (2018), which also stars Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce. Charles Bramesco of The Guardian found her "excellent despite her thankless role".[21] She next appeared in a six-part miniseries adaptation of John le Carré's spy novel The Little Drummer Girl, in which she played an actress in the 1970s who becomes embroiled in an espionage plot.[22][23] Although his review of the series was mixed, Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair wrote that Pugh was "terrific throughout, once again asserting her star-on-the-rise status" and that she "smartly mixes earthiness with sophistication, wisdom with naïveté."[24] She also appeared alongside Emilia Clarke, Tom Hiddleston and Gemma Chan in the short film Leading Lady Parts in support of the Time's Up movement.[25]
2019–present: Breakthrough
Pugh was listed on Forbes' annual 30 Under 30 list, which recognises the 30 most influential people in Europe under the age of 30, in 2019.[26] She was also recognised as having a breakthrough in the same year, during which she starred in three major films.[27][28] She first starred as professional wrestler Paige in Fighting with My Family, a comedy-drama about Paige's relationship with her family, co-starring Lena Headey and Dwayne Johnson.[29] The film premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival to positive reviews.[30][31] Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent noted how different the role was from Pugh's previous appearances, and wrote that she was "completely convincing as the wrestler" and that she showed "the same defiance, scruffy glamour and self-deprecating humour as the real life [...] Paige."[32] She next played the lead role in Ari Aster's horror film Midsommar, which chronicles a troubled couple who encounter Swedish cultists. David Edelstein of Vulture called her performance "amazingly vivid" and wrote that Pugh's face "is so wide and open that she seems to have nowhere to hide her emotions."[33]
In her final film release of 2019, Pugh played Amy March, a headstrong artist, in Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women.[34][35] The cast rehearsed the script for two weeks before filming began, but Pugh was not able to participate since she was filming Midsommar at the time. She believed this helped create distance between her and her co-stars playing her sisters, which proved conducive for her character's personality.[36] The film and Pugh's performance were critically acclaimed, with David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter stating that she "continues to prove herself a distinctive talent, managing all the tricky contradictions of the role with disarming grace, humour and a willful streak that grows almost imperceptibly into wisdom."[37] Little Women grossed over $209 million against its $40 million budget.[38] Pugh's portrayal of Amy earned her nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress.[39][40]
Pugh will next star alongside Scarlett Johansson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Widow, about the titular superhero, as another agent of the Black Widow program, Yelena Belova.[41][42] She is also slated to star alongside Shia LaBeouf and Chris Pine in Don't Worry Darling, a thriller set in 1950s California, which will be directed by Olivia Wilde.[43]
Personal life
Since April 2019, Pugh has been in a relationship with American actor, director and writer Zach Braff, who is 21 years her senior.[44] Braff directed her in his 2019 short film In The Time It Takes To Get There.[45] They currently reside in Los Angeles.[46][47]
