Florence Pugh addresses Will Poulter dating rumours after those beach photos

“Thanks for saying we look sexy. Doesn’t mean we’re doing the sexy.”

Finally, she added: “On another note, a very important note. There’s no need to drag people through this.

“Regardless of your opinion on who I should or shouldn’t be with, at the end of the day, if you’re complimenting someone by trolling another person… you’re just bullying. There’s literally no need to be horrible online – no need.

“Think about what you write. Think about who it affects.

“Anyhoo… onto more wonderful pictures of lovely people being gorgeous and tanned and fabulous!”

Eugh, Florence Pugh, we couldn’t love you any more than we do. 

As for Will Poulter, the Detroit star tends to keep his love life out of the spotlight. Since his rise to fame, Will has only been in one public relationship, dating actress Yasmeen Scott in 2019. The pair were spotted at a number of events together, including Wimbledon, the premiere of The Little Stranger and Milan Fashion Week. That said, things between Will and Yasmeen have seemingly fizzled out since as the couple haven’t been pictured together for over a year. 

In the meantime, we think Florence’s words are an important reminder to all of us – who all have access to the public domain via social media – that our words hold weight and power, and we can use this to speak up on the side of good (we can think of a few causes that deserve our attention at the moment) or to wade into the gossip mill and, quite possibly, negatively impact those involved. 

And listen, we love a potential new celeb romance as much as the next person, but we know which side of the fence we’d rather fall on. Preach speech over.
