1. Florence Pugh and Zach Braff reunite at film premiere

Who would have thought the least tense Florence Pugh film premiere of the past six months would be for the movie directed by her ex? The Don't Worry Darling actress reunited with ex-boyfriend Zach Braff on Wednesday night at the London premiere of their new film A Good Person, which he wrote and directed and she stars in. The two were dating when the movie was shot in 2021, but they have since broken up. Pugh confirmed the split last August, noting they ended their relationship quietly to avoid "having millions of people telling us how happy they are that we're not together." But they seem to have remained friends, and there was no sign of drama at the premiere. The exes took photos together smiling on the red carpet, and Braff said he is "in awe of her talent," per Variety. For once, we can say "don't worry, darling" about the rollout of a Pugh movie and not mean it ironically.
