Florence Pugh cannot seem to miss. With roles like Amy March in Greta Gerwig's critically acclaimed 2019 Little Women and the MCU's Yelena Belova opposite Hailee Steinfeld — not to mention her viral cooking videos —Pugh constantly makes headlines for her sense of humor and amazing acting skills.
Her latest role as Allison in A Good Person (which premiered March 24) features yet another talent from Miss Flo: her singing voice.
Florence Pugh And Her Songwriting
In a new interview with Jimmy Fallon, Pugh revealed that she wrote and recorded music for the film. "What's cool is it's the first time I've actually written a song for a character and performed a song as the character as well," she said in the interview. "Outside of the movie, I got to record them [as] me, as the creator. So when the movie comes out, my songs are going to be on the soundtrack as well. So have a little look!"
Pugh said that she was originally more of a singer-songwriter until her acting career took off, so we are super excited to hear what melodies she has up her sleeve. "I'm really excited to do it — I've been wanting to do it for ages."
Even though Pugh has sung in other films like 2014's The Falling, this was a new experience. "I really felt [it] was necessary for me to get into the headspace of this character," she said in an interview with Happy Sad Confused. "In this situation where Allison actually sings, she's at such a low point and she's in rehab and she's raw and she's playing a creaky piano with a creaky voice, and I think for me it was so important that we matched that."
Needless to say, we started crying as soon as the first song began playing during the movie.
