Florence Pugh makes a bold statement in her Vanity Fair interview; names this actor as this generation&#039;s Leonardo DiCaprio.

&#8220;He&#8217;s our Leo&#8221; &#8211; Florence Pugh Picks This Young Star as the Next Leonardo DiCaprio, Do Fans Agree?

Very few can claim the title of a superstar and an A-list actor. Leonardo
DiCaprio is one such rare example. While he started out as a heartthrob in the
90s, the young actor quickly shed his lover boy image to reveal that he had
character actor depth. 3 decades have passed and none could compare to the
acting stalwart. However, Gen-z’s favorite actress, Florence Pugh, is of the
opinion that we already have a young Leo in the making!

Who does this actress think can replace Leonardo? And how are Twitteratis
reacting to it? 


FANS REACT TO FLORENCE PUGH’S PICK FOR THE NEXT LEO 

Many consider that the star system is dying. Hollywood is not making A-list
stars like it used to. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo are the last of the
stars. But of course, Florence Pugh begs to disagree. During Pugh’s chat with
Vanity Fair
[https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/02/florence-pugh-hollywood-issue-2023/amp],
she revealed that this generation has already found its Leonardo DiCaprio, and
it’s none other than Timothee Chalamet. “He’s our Leo”, she said.

No sooner had the actress said this, twitterati were ready with their keyboards
to type out their responses. While a few fans agreed with the actress,
understanding she was comparing the level of admiration Chalamet was getting now
to what DiCaprio once received, others weren’t alright with the comparison. Many
fans of the Little Women actor didn’t think Pugh’s statement was a compliment
and pointed out how the Titanic actor is not held in high regard at the moment.

Timothee does have the making of a young Leo. He has Roman features that
solidify him as the current generation’s heartthrob. But like his predecessor,
he combines his looks with sheer acting talent. All his projects have been
varied and have showcased his range from Call Me by Your Name to Bones and All.
And Pugh is no less when it comes to her fame.

Pugh is definitely one of the busiest actors working in the industry today. Last
year, she headlined Olivia Wilde’s erotic thriller Don’t Worry Darling alongside
Harry Styles. While the movie was mired in controversy before release, and the
movie received a rather topic reception, her role was highly praised. And she
closed the year with the Netflix Original, The Wonder
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-florence-pugh-oscar-winner-directorial-florence-pughs-new-period-drama-is-now-streaming-on-netflix/].
With such meteoric rise, it’s no wonder the actress is feeling the pressure.

FLORENCE PUGH FEELS THE PRESSURE AS HER FOLLOWERS GROW

Lately, Instagram has added to the actress’s anxiety. She confessed to deleting
the app entirely when the pressure gets too much. Boasting millions of
followers, Pugh has grown conscious of what she posts on her social media
account. 

During the same interview, she revealed that she felt the change happening when
she started gaining followers following Little Women. She is now aware that she
has an audience. That she does, given the reaction twitterati has shown for her
statement about Chalamet.
