Florence Pugh secretly dating Peaky Blinders hunk after splitting from photographer boyfriend
FLORENCE Pugh is off the market again – secretly dating Peaky Blinders actor Finn Cole.
She split up with photographer Charlie Gooch last year but I’ve learned the movie beauty, who co-starred with Harry Styles in psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling in 2022, has found romance once more.
Florence and Finn were together at an A-list premiere and after-party in East London for new Netflix murder-mystery series The Perfect Couple, starring Nicole Kidman.
My pals report that the pair left the bash at the Seabird restaurant, on the top of the Hoxton Hotel, together and looked rather cosy in each other’s company.
I am told: “Florence and Finn appeared to be very much together and they were having a great time.
“They kept a low profile at the premiere and party, and left out of the back door together and got into the same car. They were there to support friends in the film and seemed keen not to be pictured or seen.
“Florence and Finn seemed very happy together.
“But they made a quick exit when the event was wrapping up, and slipped away.”
Florence was last seen with Finn, who played Michael Gray in Peaky Blinders, partying at Glastonbury in June. Fellow revellers snapped the pair during the four-day festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
The following next month, Florence was spotted by theatre-goers quietly supporting Finn as he made his stage debut in Red Speedo at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond, South West London.
The pair have been mates for a long time.
When asked who he would like to work with in gangland drama Peaky Blinders, Finn said: “It would have to be my friend Florence Pugh.
“She is a fantastic actress and would do a great job.”
Finn, who is understood to have been single for the past couple of years, found fame playing Michael on the hit BBC series.
He was shot and killed by Cillian Murphy‘s lead character Tommy Shelby in the show’s final episode in April 2022, which wrapped the sixth season.
It means Finn won’t be back for the film spin-off which is in the works.
Still, it seems he’s got Florence to take his mind off that.
ANGELINA FINDS HER VOICE
ANGELINA JOLIE plays opera diva Maria Callas in her latest film – but didn’t sing for years after an ex criticised her vocals.
The actress got an eight-minute standing ovation for the biopic, Maria, at Venice Film Festival last week. But learning to embrace her voice for the role was tough.
She said: “I don’t sing. I had somebody in my life who was not kind to me about singing. It was a relationship I was in.
“I just assumed I couldn’t really sing. I’d been to theatre school, so it was weird that it even had an effect on me. I just adapted to this person’s op- inion.”
On the extensive preparation for the film, Angelina told The Hollywood Reporter: “It took many months of singing classes. Months of just getting the singing down and then the Italian classes and then the voice and doing all these things like her. You try to be precise.”
If it wasn’t for her ex, we could have had a Noughties Angelina pop album.
Ruff stuff from Camila
HERE is Camila Cabello dressed to thrill as she prepares to drop a new song.
The American beauty’s performance in this ruffled white outfit is the latest concert featured in the Apple Live Music series.
From today, fans can stream the summer gig at Lisbon’s Rock In Rio festival on Apple Music and Apple TV+.
It comes as the Havana singer announced the release of her track Godspeed, which will feature on a new, expanded edition of latest album C,XOXO to be released tomorrow.
The original C,XOXO came out in June, and Camila said of the Lisbon concert: “It was our first time performing these songs live and we dreamed up this magical world.”
Yes, indeed.

Damian all Hart
DAMIAN LEWIS proved he is still going strong with The Kills’ Alison Mosshart as they went on a date.
The couple, who have been together since 2022, attended the London premiere of Kate Winslet’s new film Lee.
They had not been pictured together for months, but clearly things are still pretty peachy between them.
