Actors Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh accidentally took an intimate scene in their upcoming film, "We Live in Time," further than what was necessary due to a miscommunication with the directors.
Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh have revealed that they inadvertently went too far during the filming of a sex scene in their upcoming movie, "We Live in Time." The actors explained that they didn't hear the directors call "cut" and continued the scene, resulting in a more explicit take than what was intended.
Garfield, speaking to Josh Horowitz in a fan-captured video, described the incident. "We were getting into it, as it were, and we go a little bit further than we meant," Garfield said. "Just because we never heard 'cut,' and it was feeling safe."

Pugh and Garfield star in "We Live in Time" as Tobias and Almut, a couple dealing with a medical diagnosis that affects their family. The romantic comedy follows their love story as they navigate the challenges posed by the diagnosis.
Garfield has noted that the film's story line resonated with him after his mother passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2019. "I think art heals," he told E! News. "And I'm in the privileged position where I have an outlet for my own healing, my own grief."

During the intense scene, Garfield recalled looking up and noticing that cameraman Stuart Bentley wasn't even filming him and Pugh. "Stuart has the camera by his side and is turned into the wall," Garfield explained.
The miscommunication led to an extended take that the actors realized was going beyond the necessary length. Garfield stated, "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.'"
