Sparks Fly: Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh’s Unforgettable Filming Experience

Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh’s on-screen chemistry during the filming of their new movie was so intense that they completely missed the cue to stop during a particularly steamy love scene.

At a recent appearance at the 92nd Street Y to promote their film, “We Live in Time,” Garfield shared a colorful account of shooting a “very intimate, passionate sex scene” with Pugh. He revealed that the moment was so engrossing that they didn’t hear the director shout “cut,” leading to an unexpectedly prolonged take.

Garfield described the experience during the event, where footage shared on social media captured his animated storytelling. He explained that this incident occurred during their very first take, which was filmed on a closed set with only the two actors, a camera operator, and a boom operator present.

“The scene becomes passionate, as we choreographed it,” Garfield recounted. “We get into it, as it were, and we go a little further than we were meant to just because we never heard ‘cut.’” He noted that the director, John Crowley, was in a separate room, adjacent to their filming space.

As the scene progressed, Garfield felt that both he and Pugh were silently acknowledging the unusual length of the take. “I feel like we were both kind of telepathically saying to each other, ‘this definitely feels like a longer take,’” he recalled with a laugh.

The realization that they had gone beyond their intended limits struck them when they glanced over at the crew. To their surprise, the crew members were facing the wall, attempting to give the actors some semblance of privacy during the unexpectedly extended scene.

Garfield recognized that they had let the moment carry on longer than necessary, but he and Pugh felt comfortable in their filming environment, allowing them to explore the scene freely. “We were both feeling safe enough to think, ‘we’ll let this progress and we’ll just carry on,’” he explained.

“We Live in Time” features Garfield and Pugh as two characters whose lives are transformed by a surprise encounter. The film’s official synopsis teases a narrative filled with emotional depth and unexpected twists, aligning perfectly with the palpable chemistry that Garfield and Pugh exhibited on set.

As the excitement builds for the film’s release, it is set to premiere in US theaters on October 11. Fans are eagerly anticipating how the intimate moments captured during filming will translate onto the big screen, especially after hearing firsthand accounts of the unique atmosphere during production.

Garfield and Pugh’s dynamic collaboration promises to be a highlight of the film, and their anecdote has only added to the buzz surrounding its release. With the chemistry they’ve displayed and the emotional narrative at play, “We Live in Time” is poised to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression.
