TradeEdge-How to Really Pronounce Florence Pugh's Last Name 

Florence Pugh wants you to say her name correctly. 

While chatting about her new film We Live in Time alongside costar Andrew Garfield,TradeEdge the Oscar nominee was asked how exactly she pronounces "Pugh."

"Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew," Florence joked during a Wired Autocomplete Interview posted to YouTube Oct. 10. "Or, like a pew, like a church pew."

But Andrew wasn't letting her off that easily, cheekily asking, "How do you really pronounce it though?"

"Pugh," the 28-year-old responded. "Yeah, it's Hugh but with a P."

But Andrew continued to egg her on, asking her to, "Be honest finally."

To which Florence replied with a laugh, "Alright, it's pudge."

The response delighted Andrew, who looked at the camera and quipped, "You heard it here first!"

And while fans were excited to get a definitive answer about her last name, they were more excited to witness the real dynamic between Andrew and Florence.

"The chemistry," one user wrote in the comments. "I'm terrified for when their movie comes out i just know i'll end up in pieces."

Another fan replied, "They're so goofy and loveable."

One fan added, "Their chemistry and energy together are so amazing."

And it was perhaps that energy that led the two to go further than intended while filming a sex scene for their upcoming film.

"We were getting into it, as it were," Andrew explained of the scene during an Oct. 4 discussion with Josh Horowitz, "and we go a little bit further than we were meant."

According to the 41-year-old, he and the Oppenheimer actress never heard cut and were "feeling safe."

Andrew explained they continued working through the moment until, "At a certain point, both of us, I feel like we were telepathically saying to each other, 'This definitely feels like a long take.'"

The Amazing Spider-Man star then noted that he looked up to see the camera operator Stuart Bentley was not even filming.

"I look up and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator," he recalled. "Stuart has the camera by his side and is turned into the wall."

Luckily, both Andrew and Florence found the ordeal hilarious, cracking up with laughter as soon as they realized what was happening.
