Celebrated actor Florence Pugh, known for her roles in 'Lady Macbeth', 'The Little Drummer Girl', and 'Fighting with My Family', recently discussed her heartfelt desire to become a mother, according to a report by People. 'Oh, I've always been thinking about starting a family,' Pugh shared.

'I've wanted to have kids since I was a child myself,' she continued. The actor elaborated on her dream, adding, 'I love the idea of a big family. I come from a big family. I love kids. I love hanging out with kids. If ever there's a dinner party, I go straight to the kids to chat to them.'

She emphasized, 'And if you don't want to do it, I believe you shouldn't be telling a story like this.'
