Debbie Harry Names Florence Pugh for Blondie Biopic

Debbie Harry says Oscar‑nominated actress Florence Pugh would be her preferred choice to play her in a Blondie biopic, and Pugh has previously expressed interest in portraying the singer. Pugh’s acting credits (including Midsommar and Don’t Worry Darling), early YouTube covers and original songs demonstrate musical experience, and Harry’s 2019 memoir Face It offers source material for adaptation. Two Blondie projects are reportedly in development—a documentary and a feature biopic to be directed by Charlotte Wells. Now 80, Harry continues to perform with Blondie, has reflected on career highlights and regrets (including turning down a role in Blade Runner), and the band remains active with a new album, High Noon, due in 2026. If the biopic proceeds, Harry’s endorsement and Pugh’s prior enthusiasm could influence casting and shape how Blondie’s story is brought to screen.
