It’s no surprise that Florence Pugh and Timothée Chalamet are friends. Pugh talked to Glamour about Chalamet on the “Little Women” set. “Timmy was so involved with all the girls,” Pugh gushed (via Grazia Daily). She added, “He was instantly in with the jokes and the wrestling. Everything about that dynamic didn’t feel like we were welcoming a boy — it was really wonderful.” Chalamet, Pugh, and Saoirse Ronan were spotted by the Daily Mail at a football game, and it seems like the “Little Women” crew is tight.
Pugh and Chalamet are likely friends because they took a unique career path. The “Call Me By My Name” star was the darling of arthouse and indie movies, similar to Pugh. Greta Gerwig raved to The New York Times about why she cast Pugh to play Amy in “Little Women.” Gerwig said, “I knew there was no other person who could do it but Florence. She has movie star written all over her, but she’s also a character actor, which is the best kind of movie star.”
The young actors don’t have big egos. Chalamet remains humble about his fame, saying the word movie star is “like death.” The “Dune” star told Time that his success was a “combination of luck and getting good advice early in my career not to pigeonhole myself.” And, as casting director Shaheen Baig told The New York Times about Pugh, “There’s no fear or vanity; it doesn’t matter what you throw at her.”
