Florence Pugh (Actor)

Florence Pugh is an English actress who was born in Oxford, United Kingdom. She is one of four children, two of whom additionally became professional actors. Pugh’s husky voice resulted from tracheomalacia, a condition in which the trachea collapses during deep breathes and restricts air flow. Her family moved to Spain to get ahead of this for her health.

After appearing in school plays during her childhood, Pugh made her professional acting debut in Falling (2014). She also appeared in 2016’s Lady Macbeth. She later broke through with roles in Ari Aster’s Midsommar (2019) and Greta Gerwig’s Little Women (2019) in which she played Dani, a girl caught up in a cult, and Amy March. Since these two films, Pugh has racked up several big roles including that of Yelena Belova in Black Widow (2021) as her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Lib Wright in The Wonder (2022), Alice in Olivia Wilde’s sophomore film Don’t Worry Darling alongside Harry Styles, Allison in A Good Person, Jean Tatlock in Oppenheimer, Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Two and more.

She can most recently be seen in John Crowley’s We Live in Time (2024), and she will reprise her role of Yelena Belova, sister of Black Widow Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) in Thunderbolts*, and she has been cast in a series adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden for Netflix. She was romantically linked to director and actor Zac Braff for three years.
