Florence Pugh Set to Release Original Music This Year, All Thanks to Zach Braff Movie
This isn’t the first time Florence Pugh is going to release music! Years ago, she uploaded acoustic covers on YouTube under the pseudonym Flossie Rose. After that, she also teamed up with Harry Styles for ‘With You All The Time’. This song featured on the soundtrack of their movie ‘Don’t Worry Darling’.
In the podcast ‘The Run-Through’, Pugh said, “I’ve actually got music being released this year. I wrote music for ‘A Good Person’ and that’s been a whole exciting experience that I’ve been desperate to do for years.”
“Music is one of those things that can mean so much to you, and the less you do it, the less confidence you have and you end up losing your heart in it,” Pugh continued. “For years I was so scared of how to do it, and eventually, this opportunity arose and I read Zach’s script and I said ‘I’ve been inspired to write a song.’ And we put them in the movie.”
In an interview last year, Pugh said she “would have put money on being a singer songwriter way before being an actor”, before revealing that she plans on releasing original music.
‘A Good Person’ will be released this year, and the movie’s synopsis says, “Allison (Pugh) is a young woman with a wonderful fiancé, a blossoming career, and supportive family and friends. However, her world crumbles in the blink of an eye when she survives an unimaginable tragedy, emerging from recovery with an opioid addiction and unresolved grief. In the following years, she forms an unlikely friendship with her would-be father-in-law that gives her a fighting chance to put her life back together and move forward.”
Speaking about Pugh and her character in ‘A Good Person’, Braff said, “Florence Pugh’s performance in the movie, I know I’m biased, but it’s the most miraculous thing you will ever see. I’m not overselling it. It’s a dramedy. It’s her going toe-to-toe with Morgan Freeman.”
Braff continued, “I know that anything Florence does is incredible. People say she’s maybe the best actress of her generation. I think she’s one of the best actresses working. This performance she gives is unbelievable.”
“The movie we made together was probably one of my favourite experiences,’ Pugh said. “It felt like a very natural and easy thing to do. I feel like I am now getting into this groove in my career, where I’m knowing what I can take, what I give, and what I will not accept any more.”
Pugh will appear in Christopher Nolan’s star-studded ‘Oppenheimer’ and Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune: Part Two’.
