Rumors are swirling that Florence Pugh might be dating "Peaky Blinders" star Finn Cole, especially after they've been spotted out together a few times.

Though Pugh did reveal that she's seeing someone new in her Sept. 18 interview with British Vogue, she didn't share the person's name.

“Something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it’s falling in love,” she said. “And I am someone that loves falling in love. I love looking after people. I love caring for people. I love the feeling of someone being there. I love knowing that someone is thinking about me and someone cares for me in the same way that I’m thinking about caring for them."

"I think in this portion of my life, I’m trying to make sure that I’m making all the right decisions so that I can have the thing that I want…which is safety, family, a home and security," she continued.

Pugh was previously in a relationship with Zach Braff, who is 21 years her senior. However, after dating for three years, the pair called it quits in 2022.

Though it was the end of a chapter, Pugh has now set her sights on someone new and many fans believe the lucky guy might just be Cole.

Read on to learn all about the actor.

Finn Cole adores wearing comfy clothes

Cole talked about his style in a Sept. 19 interview with Gentleman’s Journal, and he said he loves to wear clothing that makes him feel relaxed.

“I love comfort. I prefer a baggier pair of jeans. I wear a lot of converse, a lot of Adidas. I love Cos, because I’ve got a big bum and big thighs, but the stuff fits me," he said.

Finn Cole is a fan of Mark Rylance

While speaking to Gentleman’s Journal, Cole noted that he loves Mark Rylance's acting.

“One of my favorite actors is Mark Rylance. He can sit in a box and do nothing for hours and I can’t take my eyes off him," he said. "He’s got something that genuinely blows me away. If you compared his facial expressions in two photographs, you might not be able to tell a difference. But, from the performance, you pick something up from actors like that. It’s like a sixth sense."

Finn Cole credits his teacher for helping him get into acting

Cole told Interview magazine in 2016 that he "first became interested" in acting when he was school.

"I was surrounded by people who were into acting," he said. "I had a teacher who I got along with, one of my favorite teachers, and he got me into it. Trying to entertain was something I always got a kick from. It excited me quite a lot."

He continued, "Growing up, it was a hobby, always something I did with friends—we’d put on shows. Then I joined the National Youth Theatre when I was 17, which was great ’cause we it’s a bunch of young people like myself."

If Cole's acting career didn't work out, he would have likely tried his hand in water sports or even learn to be a boat mechanic.

"I was always interested in water sports, water activities, and engineering. I was always good at fixing things growing up. I wanted to work on boats. That was what my dad did," he said.

Finn Cole's older brother is Joe Cole

Joe Cole is also an actor, and like his brother, he honed his craft at the National Youth Theatre in London.

From 2013 to 2017, Joe Cole starred alongside his brother in their hit show "Peaky Blinders." His other acting credits include playing Luke in "Skins," Billy Moore in "A Prayer Before Dawn" and Frank in "Black Mirror."

When asked what it's like to have a family member who's also in the industry, Finn Cole told NME that he feels "very lucky" to be able to share that experience with someone.

“We had such a blast filming together on 'Peaky," he said. "I always ask him questions and he always asks me questions. We’re really good mates — I’ll call him once or twice a week to catch up.”

Finn Cole plays guitar

In his interview with Gentleman’s Journal, Cole said that he likes to play guitar and listed BB King and Muddy Waters as some of his favorite artists.

“I have surrounded myself with quite creative people — a lot of musicians — and so I love to go and watch my friends play. We’ll go and watch live music together or make music together," he said. “Or we just hang out — watching movies or going to the pub and having a drink. It’s a lot of that.”
