    She revealed the correct pronunciation while participating in Wired's Most Searched Questions series with her We Live in Time costar Andrew Garfield .

    "[It's like] pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew" she said, making finger guns. "Or like a church pew."

    Seemingly surprised, Andrew asked, "How do you really say it though?"

    "Pew," Florence insisted. "Yeah, it's Hugh but with a P."

    "Be honest finally," Andrew replied, leading Florence to joke, "Alright, it's pudge."

    There you have it!

    Can you think of a celebrity whose name is pronounced differently than how people say it? Personally, I'm still shocked that Brendan Fraser's name is actually pronounced like razor . Share any others in the comments below.
