Andrew Garfield On Florence Pugh Sex Scene That Went 'Further Than It Meant To'
As if we weren't already desperate to watch We Live In Time, the rom-com starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, he just revealed that the pair got so lost filming a sex scene that they didn't hear the director shout cut. This is the kind of chemistry we need to see on screen.
If you're not already aware, two of our faves are starring in a new movie together, which sees an unconventional romance unfold between Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield), who fall in love after she accidentally hits him with her car. The story follows the highs and lows of their lives over the course of a decade, from welcoming their daughter to Almut getting sick - and it looks as harrowing as it does moving.

In a new interview, Andrew also revealed the film features a sex scene between the characters that became so passionate, that they didn't actually hear the director call cut. In the end, the camera operator turned their back to them. Now this is what it means to feel safe on set.
'We were doing the first take of this very intimate, passionate scene,' Garfield said at a recent Q&A at the Upper East Side's 92NY. 'It’s a closed set, which means it’s only me and Florence and the camera operator, who’s a lovely man called Stuart. And he’s very polite and very sweet and gentle.'
'The director’s in another room next door. And so the scene becomes passionate and we get into it, as it were, and we go a little bit further than we were meant to because we didn’t hear "cut" and it’s feeling safe. And we’re just kinda like, "Ok, we’ll just go into the next thing, we’ll let this progress, and we’ll just carry on."'
'And at a certain point, both of us, we’re both kind of telepathically saying to each other, "This definitely feels like a longer take." I look up, and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator. Stuart has the camera by his side and he’s turned into the wall.'
During a Q&A at Toronto International Film Festival, Pugh praised the director John Crawley for creating such a safe space during filming, so the cast could really deliver on the intimate and emotional scenes the film required.
