Luckily, Florence has shared exactly how to say it.
She revealed the correct pronunciation while participating in Wired's Most Searched Questions series with her We Live in Time costar Andrew Garfield.
"[It's like] pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew," she said, making finger guns. "Or like a church pew."
Seemingly surprised, Andrew asked, "How do you really say it, though?"
"Pew," Florence insisted. "Yeah, it's Hugh but with a P."
"Be honest finally," Andrew replied, leading Florence to joke, "Alright, it's pudge."
There you have it!
Can you think of a celebrity whose name is pronounced differently than how people say it? Personally, I'm still shocked that Brendan Fraser's name is actually pronounced like razor. Share any others in the comments below.
