Take Garfield's role in the Spiderman franchise, for example, and Pugh starring in Little Women, Lady Macbeth, Don't Worry Darling and Oppenheimer.
The film includes a number of steamy scenes, which Garfield opened up about during an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with host Josh Horowitz, earlier this year.
The 41-year-old actor recalled a particular moment of filming one of these scenes went further than expected. 'We do this first take of this very intimate, passionate sex scene. And it's a closed set, which means it's only me and Florence in a room together and the camera operator, who is our DP, a very lovely man called Stewart,' he explained.

'The scene becomes passionate, and we choreographed it and we get into it, as it were, and we go a little bit further than we were meant to just because we never heard 'cut' and it's feeling safe and we're like, "OK, we'll go to the next thing and the next thing, we'll let this progress".'
Before long, Garfield felt as though he and Pugh were 'telepathically saying to each other, "This definitely feels like a longer take".' Garfield then stood in front of the audience to reenact what both actors saw when they ended the scene. 'I look up, and in the corner is Steward and our boom operator. Stewart has the camera by his side, and he's turned into the wall.'
