Early Life, Health Challenges, and a Budding Performer
Born Florence Rose Pugh on January 3, 1996, in Oxford, England, her early life was shaped by creativity and a significant health challenge. Her father was a restaurateur, and her mother a dance teacher. Seeking a better climate for Pugh's recurring respiratory issues, the family moved to Spain for three years during her childhood. The condition was later diagnosed as tracheomalacia, which involves a partially collapsed trachea, making breathing difficult and leading to frequent hospital visits. Pugh has candidly shared, “It’s the reason I have a deep voice and why I sound like a goose when I laugh.”
Despite these challenges, Pugh's natural flair for performance was evident from a young age. At just six years old, playing Mary in a nativity play, she famously adopted a northern accent and complained about varicose veins, delighting the audience. “It was the first time I knew the power of being on stage,” she recalled. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh God, they’re waiting for me, they’re listening to everything I say, and I have complete control.’”
As a teenager, her creative pursuits continued. Pugh showcased her musical talents by singing and playing guitar, covering songs like "Wonderwall" on YouTube under the username “Flossie Rose.” Though she attended private schools Wychwood and St. Edward’s in Oxford, Pugh admitted, “I don’t think I was built for school. I just wanted to perform and make music and make pots.”
Her upbringing in a “very loud and dramatic household” undoubtedly nurtured her talents. Her older siblings also pursued acting careers: Toby Sebastian is known for his role as Prince Trystane Martell in "Game of Thrones," and Arabella Gibbins has worked as an actor, singer, and vocal coach. Pugh also has a younger sister, Rafaela.

Ascent in Film and Television: Key Roles and Accolades
Florence Pugh's professional acting career kicked off remarkably. At 17, while still in school, she landed her first movie role in the 2014 film "The Falling," earning praise for her debut. A brief, challenging stint in Los Angeles for a TV pilot that wasn't picked up followed, an experience she later admitted relief over when it didn't proceed.Her passion for acting was reignited with her powerful performance in "Lady Macbeth" (2016), a role that earned her a British Independent Film Award. This critical success paved the way for more diverse roles. In 2018, she appeared in "The Outlaw King" alongside Chris Pine and the thriller "The Commuter" with Liam Neeson. The same year, she captivated television audiences in the critically acclaimed miniseries "The Little Drummer Girl," based on John le Carré’s novel, and played Cordelia in a production of "King Lear." A few years prior, her rising talent was recognized with a nomination for a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Rising Star Award.
The year 2019 was a watershed moment for Pugh, showcasing her incredible range in three distinct films:
- The A24 horror hit "Midsommar," where she delivered a harrowing performance.
- The comedic wrestling film "Fighting With My Family."
- Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of "Little Women," where her portrayal of Amy March earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Pugh then stepped into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena Belova, the surrogate sister to Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff in "Black Widow" (released in 2021 after pandemic delays). Her chemistry with Johansson was a highlight, and her playful teasing of Black Widow's signature pose even made its way into the script.
In 2022, she co-starred with Harry Styles in Olivia Wilde's "Don’t Worry Darling." Her most recent prominent role is in Christopher Nolan’s "Oppenheimer" (2023), where she plays Jean Tatlock, a psychiatrist who had a passionate and complex romantic relationship with J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Personal Life: Relationship with Zach Braff

Pugh appeared in Braff's short film "In the Time It Takes to Get There" (2019) and later starred in his 2023 feature film, "A Good Person." They quarantined together during the COVID-19 pandemic and adopted a dog.Their two-decade age difference drew considerable criticism on social media. Pugh was vocal in defending their relationship, notably in April 2020 after facing backlash for an Instagram birthday post for Braff. She firmly stated, “I am 24 years old. I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love and I would never in my life tell anyone who they can and cannot love.”
