Florence Pugh sparks romance rumours with Peaky Blinders hunk as they sneak out of Netflix party together
FLORENCE Pugh has sparked romance rumours with Peaky Blinders star Finn Cole after the pair were spotted sneaking out a party together last night.
The pair were spotted together after attending the premiere of Nicole Kidman’s new Netflix series The Perfect Couple.
Don’t Worry Darling star Florence, 28, was spotted leaving the Netflix afterparty at The Hoxton in London last night and she wasn’t alone.
She was seen making a low-key departure with Peaky Blinders star Finn, 28, at the end of the night.
Finn is best known for playing Michael Gray in the BBC series.
According to the Daily Mail, Florence, who was wearing a nude bralette and cream pinstripe suit, and Finn, who donned a burgundy suit, slipped out of a side door together straight into their waiting car.
A guest at the event also told the outlet: “I saw them holding hands at the after-party at The Hoxton hotel.”
It’s not the first time the pair have enjoyed an outing together as they have previously partied at Glastonbury Festival together.
The romance rumours with Finn come after Florence moved on from her three-year relationship with Scrubs actor Zach Braff.
She dated the actor, writer and director who is 21 years her senior from 2019 to 2022.
Defending their age gap romance on Instagram, the Little Women star said: “I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love.”
She added: “The abuse that you throw at him is abuse that you’re throwing at me.”
Before they officially split Florence sparked romance rumours with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Will Poulter.
The pair have become close friends since co-starring in the horror film Midsommar together in 2019 and in May 2022 they were photographed lounging on the Spanish Island of Ibiza together.
However, Florence was quick to shut down these rumours, taking to Instagram to defend herself once more.
“We went to the beach with our friends, who are always about a half a metre away from us in every picture, but have been cleverly cut out/framed out so that it looks otherwise,” she said in a lengthy post.
Florence Pugh's career to date
Florence Pugh is a rising star in Hollywood, let's take a look at her impressive career so far.
- Florence burst onto the big screen a decade ago when she starred in the 2014 mystery thriller The Falling as Abbie Mortimer.
- She quickly started to make a name for herself with roles in period dramas like Lady Macbeth, King Lear and Outlaw King.
- 2019 the marked a huge year for the British star as she starred in a handful of notable big screen flicks. Florence donned a completely different look in Fighting with My Family, before returning to period attire for Greta Gerwig‘s adaptation of Little Women. And she certainly turned heads when she starred opposite Will Poulter in Midsommar.
- The success of these movies led to Florence landing a coveting role in the MCU as Yelena, the adopted sister of Scarlett Johansson‘s Black Widow, in 2021. She reprised this role again in Disney+‘s Hawkeye series.
- Florence kept busy in 2022 as well, starring alongside the likes of Toby Jones in The Wonder and Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde in Don’t Worry Darling.
- These were particularly important projects to Florence, who said: “Being on these last few movies with some of the greats has been truly a wonderful way to kick myself back into the mode of ‘This is what you want to do.’ ”
- Florence continued to work with Hollywood royalty in 2023, nabbing a role in Oppenheimer alongside Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr.
- 2024 was another busy year for the star who appeared in sci-fi blockbuster Dune: Part 2 in March. She will also appear alongside Andrew Garfield in the heart wrenching romantic drama We Live in Time.
She continued: “I understand that the nature of this job is that you sometimes get your privacy completely bulldozed by paparazzi, but to fabricate this stuff actually does more damage than good. Thanks for saying we look sexy..doesn’t mean we’re doing the sexy.”
The Little Women star also alluded to the backhanded slights toward her then-beau Zach in fan comments about her Ibiza photos.
“Regardless of your opinion on who I should or shouldn’t be with, at the end of the day if you’re complimenting someone by trolling another person .. you’re just bullying,” she concluded.
After calling it quits with Zach, Florence told Harper’s Bazaar that she wanted to focus on her career.
This led her to starring in movies like Don’t Worry Darling and Oppenheimer.
She had already made a name for herself with roles in Greta Gerwig‘s Little Women, Fighting with my Family and multiple Marvel projects.
In 2023 she briefly dated photographer Charlie Gooch and has since been romantically linked to Normal People star Paul Mescal more recently.
The pair were spotted having dinner in New York in the U.S. last week.
An insider told The Sun said: “Florence and Paul move in the same circles and have been mates for some time.
“If their friendship moved into something more romantic no one would be surprised.”
2024 has been a busy year for Pugh who was front and centre in the sci-fi blockbuster Dune: Part 2 earlier this year. Her next movie role in the romantic drama We Live in Time sees her star alongside former Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield.
