Welcome to Florence Pugh’s single era. Following the success of her
earnest YouTube acoustic covers from nearly a decade ago, the
Don’t Worry Darling actor has released her long-awaited debut … wait. [
Squints.] Actually, it appears that Florence Pugh
is single, as in
no longer attached to the Scrubs actor Zach Braff
after a three-year relationship, with no plans to release music anytime
soon (rude). She and Braff quietly separated earlier this year, and
they kept the breakup on the down low to avoid the glee of Zach-ence
antis. “We’ve been trying to do this separation without the world
knowing, because it’s been a relationship that everybody has an opinion
on,” said Pugh in a
Harper’s Bazaar cover story.
“We just felt something like this would really do us the benefit of not
having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we’re not
together. So we’ve done that.” Honestly, Ms. Pugh, the only thing we
have an opinion about is your music career. How dare you release sincere
Jack Johnson, the Lumineers, and “Wonderwall” covers under the iconic
stage name Flossie Rose, only to abandon your early musician dreams?
Ma’am, where is the album?
In other Florence Pugh news, she’s not not addressing rumors about the set of Don’t Worry Darling, out
September 23. What she does reveal is that Pugh was set to play Bunny, a
supporting role, but eventually took on the lead role of Alice Chambers
with Wilde now playing Bunny. “It was a different beast,” Pugh said on
moving into the role of Alice. “I love playing a distressed woman.” The
only drawback of starring alongside the “most famous pop star in the
world”? “When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most
famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it,” she
said. “It’s not why I’m in this industry. Obviously, the nature of
hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have
conversations like that. That’s just not what I’m going to be discussing
because [this movie is] bigger and better than that.” Welp, Flossie’s
just not about the pop-star life right now. Truly a pity!
