An industry insider dished: "Florence is having a bigger career than Amber ever had, but everyone knows Amber's face because of the Johnny Depp trial."

Depp's victorious 2022 defamation trial against Heard, who he sued over claims of physical harm made in a 2018 newspaper op-ed, launched her into the spotlight.

Being mistaken for Heard's doppelganger has put Pugh in a tricky position, especially after she faced backlash for liking Depp's Instagram post celebrating his victory in the court case against Heard.

A source said: "Florence is Team Johnny, which makes it more uncomfortable for when she's mistaken for Amber."

They added: "But even more, it hurts her pride – Amber is 10 years older than she is."

Critics slammed Pugh after she liked The Pirates of the Caribbean star's statement, where he thanked the jury for giving him his "life back" and said he brought the case to life "to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome".

The actress has opened up about the signature face before, noting how when she's "sad" in a scene, the frown happens "before the tremble comes" and she "doesn't even realize" she's doing it.
