Florence Pugh celebrated her 27th birthday on 3 Jan., and proved her popularity as friends posted their well wishes on Instagram. The most notable amongst them? “Bridgerton” stars Simone Ashley and Nicola Coughlan. While the three are undoubtedly some of the biggest British actors to have found fame in recent years, we are beyond excited to see they are all real-life friends.
Ashley, who plays Kate Sharma in the Netflix show, posted a cheesy snap of Pugh smiling at a big ol’ slab of cheese to wish the “Don’t Worry Darling” actor a happy birthday. The pair share stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray, who is responsible for both star’s incredible array of outfits throughout 2022, so it’s only fitting that they have also shared cheeseboards, too.
Soon after, Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington and is set to take the lead in “Bridgerton” series 3, posted a throwback photo of her with Pugh at the British Vogue and Tiffany & Co. party last year. She accompanied the photo with, “Happy birthday @florencepugh you dote” and a pink heart. The pair have been known to comment on each other’s posts throughout 2022, so could this budding friendship be one to watch this year?
Fellow British actor Millie Bobby Brown also took to Instagram to wish Pugh a lovely day. The “Stranger Things” star reposted a video of Pugh at the Venice Film Festival with the caption, “happy birthday to this queenie. Love u w my whole heart.” Is there a young, cool, British actors club that we need to be a part of?
Fans were also quick to notice that Pugh’s ex, Zach Braff, posted a sweet photo of the star sitting above the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, calling her a “legend” with a white heart. The pair recently worked together on the film, “A Good Person”, so it’s great to see there is no animosity between the two.
Read ahead to see some of the appreciation posts for Pugh and take this as our formal petition to get Pugh on “Bridgerton” season 4.
