Florence Pugh's Grimsby-accented Nativity Mary opens thirteen times faster

A day after Tom Cruise's makeup short led the channel, a school-play confession from the Little Women star has taken over.

Florence Pugh Was A Method Actor From The Start | The Graham Norton Show

Florence Pugh's first big role, by her own account, was Mary in her school Nativity play, and she played it with a Grimsby accent. The clip where she tells Graham Norton about it went up barely a day ago and is already close to two hundred thousand views.

That opening pace is about thirteen times what a new upload on the show's channel usually manages. It is also a change of focus. Only a day earlier, Tom Cruise and a short about his makeup were the story here. And the whole catalog is running busier than usual.

The title's joke is that Pugh was "a method actor from the start." The description sums up the anecdote in one line, and the accent does the work: Grimsby is a fishing port on England's east coast, not a place usually associated with the Holy Land. Pugh herself has built a career on range, from the folk horror of Midsommar to an Oscar-nominated turn as Amy March in Little Women and Yelena Belova in Marvel's Black Widow.

On Norton's sofa, though, the role that got people watching was one she played as a schoolgirl.
