“We weren’t in anyone’s faces,” she said of herself and Braff, whom she started dating in 2019 after he cast her in a short film and grew closer to as they quarantined together during the pandemic. “It was just that people didn’t like it. They imagined me with someone younger, and someone in blockbuster movies.

The Little Women The actress said, “I think young Hollywood relationships are so easily twisted due to the fact that they add to gossip sites. It’s exciting to watch. And I think I was in a relationship that didn’t do any of that.”

Pugh stated that her “breakup was very new” and is still trying to decide what the next step in her life will be. Pugh recently purchased her first home in London. She will use it as her home base. However, she is trying to decide if she requires a Los Angeles home after living in Braff’s house until last year. In the story, she refers to Braff’s kitchen where she made her pandemic cooking videos “Cooking With Flo”, as “her Kitchen”. He was “her garden”, she called it.

Braff — who just last week called Pugh a “legend” in a birthday tribute — was quoted extensively in the feature, not discussing their relationship or the criticism over it, but talking about her performance in A good person, This movie is due out March. Pugh plays a pharmaceutical saleswoman who’s about to get married but is involved in an accident, which kills members of her fiancé’s family. She develops a severe addiction to opioids during her recovery. Pugh is the producer of the film. She was also involved in numerous other aspects of the film, such as casting and editing script revisions and creating music for her character.

Braff extolled, “I just think she’s one the greatest actors her generation,” Vogue. “She’s just magnetic. She is a magnet. And it’s not just her beauty and it’s not just her acting ability, it’s that thing, that magic thing that transcends the screen, where anyone and everyone goes: I want to see whatever this person does.”

Braff wrote Pugh’s part, but he says the story was partially inspired by her. Amanda Kloots. Braff, Pugh and their infant son were taken to L.A. by Nick Cordero, Kloots, and Braff’s best friend. They had moved from NYC, and were renovating their L.A. homes. The tragic truth is that the Broadway actor was infected with COVID, and was admitted to hospital for several months before his death in July 2020.

Braff shared that she wanted to write about the human ability to stand up despite all odds. The Talk host.

He recalled that Amanda’s property was ground zero when he looked back. She was surrounded by amazing human beings, and they would walk her baby for an hour so that she could be alone. Florence would prepare pizzas and bring them to Florence. We were both afraid of COVID. She would then sit on her front stoop, while we would be six feet away on a bench. It was a very, very, very intense time, and we couldn’t even properly comfort Amanda. Of course, we broke down and just said, f*** it, and hugged her.”

Pugh said Cordero helped her feel at home in Braff’s circle, saying he “made everyone feel good — in terms of my relationship to that friendship group and that life, Nick was such a massive part of it.” The couple hosted Cordero’s memorial service in their vegetable garden.

But that’s no longer their garden — and Pugh talked about putting down roots in London. Recently, she bought a house in London that feels like home. After a long time, she felt it was the right time.

“For many years, I was so busy that it didn’t make sense for me to rent an apartment in London. I was barely ever returning home,” she stated. I was literally always moving from one job to another, living in a backpack. When I’d come back, I’d only wanna see my family and my friends anyway. So I’d just stay with family and friends.”

She picked South London because she has several friends from high school there, and is already planning her first dinner party — and next act.

“You know, you have a daydream when you start out: What is it that means you’ve made it? What is it that makes you an adult? She replied. “It was simple for me: I live near my friends and I have a local pub. And because I didn’t do that when I was young, because I didn’t go to university, it meant that for all of my adult years of working and my adult years living abroad, I still, in my mind, hadn’t got all the pieces together.”

Now she’s ready for chapter, noting — while she’s lived in L.A. for longer than anywhere else in her adult life — she’s always considered herself “more of a London girl.”
