Passion between Andrew Garfield and his We Live in Time costar Florence Pugh heated up when the cameras weren’t rolling, but not exactly on purpose.
Garfield detailed one particularly racy scene he filmed with Pugh that went “a little big further” than intended. The 41-year-old explained that the sex scene was captured on a “closed set,” meaning only a very small amount of people were in attendance for the sake of the actors’ privacy.
“We were getting into it, as it were, and we go a little bit further than we were meant,” Garfield explained of the scene during a discussion with Josh Horowitz at the 92nd Street Y on Oct. 4. “Just because we never heard ‘cut,’ and it was feeling safe.”
He went on to detail the two actors’ methods as they continued rehearsing the choreographed moment, saying, “And we’re kind of like, ‘Ok, we’ll go to the next thing, and the next thing. We’ll let this progress. And we’ll just carry on.’ At a certain point, both of us, I feel like we were telepathically saying to each other, ‘This definitely feels like a long take.’”
The Spider-Man star then noted that he looked up to see the camera operator Stuart Bentley was not even filming the passionate moment between himself and Pugh.
“I look up and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator,” he shared. “Stuart has the camera by his side and is turned into the wall.”
The bittersweet love story follows Garfield’s Tobias and Pugh’s Almut, whose medical diagnosis shakes their growing family. It’s a story that hit close to home for Garfield, who lost his mother Lynn to pancreatic cancer in 2019.
"I think art heals," Garfield told E! News' Francesca Amiker at We Live in Time's world premiere during the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. "And I'm in the privileged position where I have an outlet for my own healing, my own grief."
