Andrew Garfield Shares Behind-the-Scenes Story of Intimate Scene With Florence Pugh in ‘We Live in Time’

Actor Andrew Garfield recently shared an intriguing behind-the-scenes story from his film ‘We Live in Time’ that has captivated fans. Directed by John Crowley, the film features Florence Pugh and explores a couple’s relationship through various life stages, including falling in love, raising a child, and confronting serious illness.

During an interview with Josh Horowitz at 92NY, as reported by entertainment media covering the press tour, Garfield candidly discussed a sex scene he filmed with Pugh that didn’t go as planned. He revealed that while the scene was meticulously choreographed, it extended longer than anticipated because neither actor heard the director call cut.

Garfield explained, “The scene becomes passionate, as 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 don’t hear ‘cut’ and it’s feeling safe.” He noted that both he and Pugh began to sense something was off as the moment continued longer than expected, and they felt the crew had not intervened, making the situation more apparent.

He further described how both actors became aware that the take had likely gone too far, realizing it was running longer than intended while the camera team continued filming. Garfield praised Pugh for her professionalism and comfort on set, noting her confidence in her body and the emotional demands of the role, which made challenging scenes easier to perform.

‘We Live in Time’ features a non-linear narrative that showcases different stages of the couple’s relationship out of order. It delves into themes of love, family life, and the emotional toll of illness, distinguishing itself as a heartfelt romantic drama during its promotional tour.

In addition to this film, Garfield has been in the spotlight for discussing fan theories regarding his previous work, including speculation about how his personal life may have influenced other projects.

Overall, Garfield’s behind-the-scenes story from ‘We Live in Time’ has added an exciting layer to the film’s promotional efforts, especially as audiences remain captivated by the strong on-screen chemistry between him and Pugh.
