| 0:07.4 | Hello and welcome to the Louis Theroux podcast. |
| 0:25.5 | Today I'm joined by Hollywood Megastar and indie darling, Florence Pugh. |
| 0:30.0 | Florence's filmography reads like the greatest hits of the last few years in cinema from Galactic royalty in Dune Part 2 to an anarchist love interest in Christopher Nolan's |
| 0:35.1 | Oppenheimer and more recently we live in time. |
| 0:39.5 | In 2021 she entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena Belova in Black Widow. She reprised the role earlier this year in |
