Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield got so into filming a sex scene that it ended up with a pretty awkward moment with the cameraman.
The two British actors lent their talents to We Live In Time, a new romantic movie that has got everyone talking.
The film, directed by John Crowley, follows the love story of Tobias and Almut, played by Garfield and Pugh, after a chance meeting changes their lives forever.
Having premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024, it was released in the U.S. on October 11, 2024.
The highly anticipated movie is now available in cinemas across the UK and Europe as of January 1, 2025.
During a Q&A session with Josh Horowitz at 92nd Street Y in New York, Garfield recalled the moment he and Pugh "didn't hear cut" during an intimate scene, per E! Online.
"We were doing the first take of this very intimate, passionate scene and it's a closed set which means it's only me and Florence and the camera operator who's a lovely man called Stuart," Garfield explained.
"And he's very polite and very sweet and gentle. The director's in another room next door."
As the scene progressed, Garfield admitted that both he and Pugh became so immersed in their roles that they inadvertently went further than intended.
"And so the scene becomes passionate and we get into it as it were and we go a little bit further than we were meant to... it's feeling safe and we just kind of... go from the next thing to the next thing and we'll let this progress and we'll just carry on," he continued.
It wasn’t until Garfield glanced up that he realized something was off. He noticed Stuart, the cameraman, standing in the corner of the room with the camera by his side, facing the wall. Stuart was waiting for them to realize the scene had ended.
People have naturally had a lot to say on the matter, with one person noting: "How in character does one have to be for this to happen?"
A second person said: "That's so awkward, but kudos to the cameraman for being considerate!"
We Live In Time is available to watch in movie theaters right now.
