Overview

• Harry told The Times that “if it were somebody like Florence Pugh, I would be in heaven,” praising Pugh as a great actor who “could do anything.”
• Reports say two Blondie projects are in the works, a documentary and a feature film with Charlotte Wells attached to direct the biopic.
• No casting has been announced, and Entertainment Weekly reported that representatives for Pugh did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
• Pugh previously said in 2020 that she wanted to portray Harry and has on-screen musical experience, including writing and performing songs for A Good Person (2023).
• Coverage situates the endorsement within Harry’s long career, noting Blondie’s more than 40 million records sold, her continued performances at 80, and her past regret over declining Blade Runner.
