“If it were someone like Florence Pugh, I’d be in heaven,” Debbie Harry told The Times. “I just think she’s a great actress and could do anything,” praised the singer.

At the 2020 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Florence Pugh spoke about portraying famous figures on screen. The “Dune” star said she would like to be Debbie, “just because she’s so cool.”

“I grew up pretending to be Dusty Springfield because she had quite a deep voice, and I thought, ‘Hey, I’ve got a deep voice too,’” she said. “Those two,” Pugh said at the time.

The “Little Women” actress would fit perfectly into the role of Debbie Harry, especially due to their physical similarities: Pugh is 1.63 cm tall, only 2.5 cm taller than the “One Way or Another” singer.

Besides the blonde hair, Florence Pugh is currently 29 years old, about the same age Harry was when she released her debut album “Blondie” in 1976.
