The Game of Thrones star's younger sister is Academy Award nominated actress Florence Pugh

At 30 years old, Florence has well and truly made a name for herself in Hollywood with roles in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, Midsommar, Little Women, Dune: Part Two and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena Belova. The actress previously opened up about looking up to her big brother who got into acting when he was 16.

"I remember watching him for years so, by the time I stepped up, I kind of knew the harsh reality of how things worked," Florence told The Guardian in 2018. 

The siblings appear to share a close bond, with Toby joining Florence at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards in 2023. The pair also share a big sister named Arabella who has gone on to pursue a career in music. 

Toby collaborated with Florence

Like Arabella, Toby has also gone down the music path alongside acting, releasing a single called Midnight in 2021 which featured Florence's vocals. The track has amassed over 10 million streams on Spotify alone since its release. 

Toby revealed in a 2024 interview with The Times that his mother, Deborah, was the once to suggest he collaborate with Florence on the track, and praised his sister for having an "incredible voice". 

 "I’ve never really felt a lot of competition, which I know is probably a rarity in families, but I think it’s probably because we’re so spread out," he said of his family.
