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."

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