Nothing to see here. Florence Pugh clarified that her recent trip with former costar Will Poulter to Ibiza, Spain, was just a friendly getaway.
“Ooookay. Man. This is getting a little silly now. No, Will Poulter and I are not dating. We went to the beach with our friends, who are always about half a metre [sic] away from us in every picture, but have been cleverly cut out/framed out so that it looks otherwise,” Pugh, 26, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, May 24. “You can LITERALLY see my best friend in the corner of so many shots and Archie [Madekwe]‘s arms at the sides.”
The actress noted that speculation about her friendship with Poulter, 29, does “more damage than good,” adding, “Thanks for saying we look sexy .. doesn’t mean we’re doing the sexy.”
Pugh’s social media statement comes after she made headlines during a beach outing with her Midsommar costar and a group of friends. The Black Widow star was photographed having fun in the Mediterranean Sea over the weekend, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Monday, May 23.
During the outing, the Marvel actress was spotted rubbing sunscreen onto Poulter’s back, sipping on cocktails and taking a dip in the water. At the time, Pugh took to social media to offer a glimpse at the weekend celebration in honor of her pal Harris Reed‘s birthday.
“*blissful siighhhh* Wonderful people. Beautiful time,” Pugh, who has been dating Zach Braff since 2019, wrote via Instagram on Monday. “Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of incredible people I was able to hug. Thank you sunshine. Thank you Ibiza. #imadesomanynewfriends!! .”
