Garfield & Pugh Got Carried Away During We Live in Time’Sex Scene

Andrew Garfield has revealed he and Florence Pugh went “a little bit further than [they] were meant to” for their We Live in Time sex scene.

The 41-year-old actor appears opposite the Oppenheimer star, 28, in the A24 romance movie, and has admitted the pair got a little carried away during a “very intimate, passionate sex scene” because they didn't hear a call of ‘cut’ from the crew.

During an appearance on the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Garfield told the crowd: “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 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.’”

The Amazing Spider-Man star added that he and Pugh continued performing the intimate sequence for such a long time that it forced the camera operator to turn away.

He explained: “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.”

The film, which will be getting a limited theatrical release in the US on October 11 before it hits UK cinemas on January 1, 2025, follows a budding chef (Pugh) who finds love with a recent divorcee (Garfield) and the couple eventually become wrapped up in a decade-long romance.

However, a life-changing discovery forces the pair into making an impossible decision about their future.

We Live in Time marks Garfield’s first Hollywood role in three years and he explained that his time away from acting has given him a fresh enthusiasm for making movies.

When The Hollywood Reporter asked the tick, tick … boom! star if he was off sabbatical now, he replied: “I think so. Yeah, I think I’m excited to work again in a different way. I feel looser, I feel less precious. I feel more joyful. I feel more aware.”

“I feel established enough as a person in the world, as an actor within myself and within the world. I know myself well enough now to feel more enjoyment… I’m still a headcase — when I’m on a set, I’m like a dog with a bone and get taken over by some weird spirit that is never satisfied — but that’s never going to change, and I don’t want it to, but within that, I can feel a lot more pleasure and a lot more enjoyment, play and freedom.”
