“I’m quite stubborn and headstrong,” she said, with a mischievous half-smile. If those conditions didn’t suit her at first, they do now. “You had to shout to have your voice heard,” Pugh said of the environment. Her elder brother, Toby Sebastian, appeared on “Game of Thrones” as Prince Trystane Martell, and her elder sister, Arabella Gibbins, is a theater actor, comedian and vocal coach. Pugh grew up the second youngest of four siblings in a “wonderfully noisy and creative” house that was full of performers. She has movie star written all over her, but she’s also a character actor, which is the best kind of movie star.” “I knew there was no other person who could do it but Florence. “I found evidence in the book that Amy was Jo’s equal, but I had never seen her explored in that way,” Gerwig said. We come to see Amy as a different but no less admirable flavor of hero, one who is determined to capitalize on the cards she’s been dealt.

And yet it was, in fact, all happening.įor 150 years, Amy, who prizes her appearance and is vocal about her aspiration to marry rich, has been portrayed as the villain to the soulful and rebellious Jo March, a timeless literary heroine played in the film by Ronan. “It’s weird what’s happening,” she was careful to note, over tea on a wet recent morning in Greenwich Village. Over the last two years, as an actress now living in London, Pugh, 24, has had that fairy tale feeling again, and then again, and again. It seemed almost as if she had slipped through the book’s pages, or perhaps crawled out from them. For a long time after that, Pugh felt like her life, too, might be magic. One day, Pugh’s mother, a dance teacher, decided that they should read “The Secret Garden,” which tells the story of a sickly girl, a lonely house and a magical garden. At home, when she wasn’t studying or attempting cartwheels in the yard, she would help her mother with chores around the house, or in the garden, turning up weeds and tamping down bulbs. Pugh had a respiratory illness that kept her out of school for long stretches of time. This happened once when she was 9 or 10, and working in the garden with her mother in Oxford. But there have been moments in her life when she felt like a character in a book.
Florence Pugh grew up around hustlers she doesn’t believe in fairy tales.
