Van chauffeuring Florence Pugh ‘is robbed by balaclava-clad thieves hours after transporting actress to Thunderbolts* premiere afterparty’

A minivan that had reportedly been transporting Florence Pugh and her family from the Thunderbolts* UK premiere, was then broken into by masked thieves later that night.

The actress, 29, was supported by a host of her loved ones at the premiere of her new Marvel film on Tuesday evening at Cineworld Leicester Square.

She was then chauffeured over to 180 Strand, to celebrate with her co-stars, including David Harbour and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, at an afterparty.

However, according to The Sun, the fleet of Mercedes minivans that Florence used to transport her and her family, were later targeted by balaclava-clad thieves on a motorbike.

They report that one of the vans had its window smashed by the thieves, who then got away with a laptop and a phone.

An onlooker told the publication: ‘Florence and her family and friends pulled up in five Mercedes vans to the after-party. Not long after they’d gone inside, a motorbike with two blokes in balaclavas pulled up and they smashed out a side window of one of the vans.

‘The chauffeurs who were driving the vans didn’t have a chance to do anything, it all happened so quickly. They got inside and made off with a laptop and a mobile phone from the middle seats.

‘Luckily, Florence and her friends and family, including her gran, were inside and weren’t affected but it was still shocking.’

The Met Police confirmed to The Sun that a vehicle break-in had been reported on Tuesday night, and stated no arrests had been made.

A spokesman said: ‘A 35-year-old man reported his car had been broken into overnight on Tuesday, April 22, with a phone and laptop allegedly stolen from inside. No arrests have been made yet.’

Meanwhile, Florence was pictured getting out of a car and adjusting her shoes, as she made her stunning arrival at the afterparty.  

She commanded attention after slipping into an entirely see-through ɴuᴅᴇ dress, showcasing her incredible figure and a glimpse of her underwear.

The daring number boasted a satin corsetted bodice that cinched her in at her svelte waist and was adorned in laced-up ribbon detailing.

Earlier in the evening, Florence had put on a show-stopping display at the star-studded premiere in a black lace gown with a huge fishtail skirt and dramatic train.

She was joined on the red carpet by friends and family, including her beloved Granny Pat, who has become a somewhat permanent fixture at Florence’s movie premieres.

While she was also joined for the first time by her boyfriend Finn Cole, in their red carpet debut.

Thought the Peaky Blinders star, 29, and the Oscar-nominated actress didn’t pose for any pH๏τos as a couple, he joined her family for a sweet group sH๏τ.

Finn looked in high spirits as he beamed for the camera beside Florence’s best friend Olive McHugh.

The couple are thought to have been dating for several months, however neither of them have officially confirmed their relationship. 

While she wouldn’t name Finn, Florence confirmed her relationship status during her October cover shoot with Vogue, and has confessed she is very much in love and is approaching their romance differently to things in the past.

She confirmed: ‘I am [in a relationship]. OK, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it’s falling in love.’

Florence candidly revealed that she and her partner were ‘figuring out what we actually are’ and admitted she wanted to start a family one day.

She and Finn have been friends for years, but were first reported to be secretly dating after they were seen slipping out of the after-party for the London premiere of Netflix hit The Perfect Couple together in September.

They had previously been seen partying at Glastonbury Festival together, while Florence had been spotted liking his Instagram posts and shared her delight when it was revealed he had landed a role in the theatre production Red Speedo.

She commented on the post: ‘Oh my gosh this is unbelievably exciting!’ and added that she’d be bringing her famous grandmother, sharing: ‘Granny Pat wants to come… #obvi’.

Florence stars in Thunderbolts* as Black Widow ᴀssᴀssin Yelena Belova, reprising the role following her appearances in the 2021 film Black Widow and the Disney+ series Hawkeye.

The premise of the Marvel blockbuster – which was directed by Jake Schreier – follows a group of antiheroes who are forced into a dangerous mission that could bring them redemption if they unite as a team.’

She explained: ‘The reason why it took so long to come together is [that] there would be no point in doing this story unless we did it properly.

‘There’d be no point in letting these characters come together and having their character arcs unless we actually spoke the truth about how they’d be feeling – and to come and make this movie in the way that we made it.’

She added: ‘I feel like this is something that we’ve never seen before from Marvel. I feel like it’s a very open and honest and truthful idea. And I’m just really excited for people to watch it.

‘This is why we can’t stop laughing together, because we genuinely just had such a wonderful time with each other and we’ve loved working with one another’.
