Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh Ignored the Director's 'Cut' During Their Sex Scene Filming

Andrew Garfield recently let slip a little behind-the-scenes tidbit that could make any moviegoer raise an eyebrow and chuckle. The 41-year-old actor, currently sparking fireworks alongside the 28-year-old Florence Pugh in the romantic comedy We Live in Time, disclosed that things got just a tad *too* enthusiastic during their "intimate, passionate sex scene.”

During a recent chat at the cultural hub 92NY in New York City, Garfield confessed, "The scene becomes passionate, as we choreographed it." And oh, how eager they became! He elaborated, "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 felt safe." Is it just me, or does this sound like every couple's secret at a particularly steamy moment?

Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, always the charmer, continued with a delightful anecdote. “At a certain point, both of us are kind of telepathically saying to each other, ‘This definitely feels like a longer take.’” He glanced up to find their poor camera operator, Stuart, in a rather precarious position, “with the camera by his side and he’s turned into the wall.” I mean, can we all just take a moment to appreciate the gallantry of professional crew members willing to avert their eyes from the absolute chaos on set? Bravo!

Set to hit U.S. theaters on October 11 and making its way to UK cinemas by New Year’s Day 2025, We Live in Time is more than just a film filled with *ahem* passion. It narrates the ups and downs of an aspiring chef, played by Pugh, who falls for a recent divorcee portrayed by Garfield. What begins as a whirlwind romance soon encounters a life-altering revelation, challenging them to confront an unimaginable choice about their future together. No pressure, right?

Garfield, returning to the silver screen following a three-year hiatus, shared his renewed excitement for acting. When asked by *The Hollywood Reporter* about his break, 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.” One can only imagine the sheer relief of being back in the creative saddle.

Embracing this sparkling new chapter, Garfield mused with refreshing honesty, “I feel established enough as a person in the world, as an actor within myself and within the world." He acknowledged his quirky side, revealing, “I’m still a headcase – when I’m on a set, I'm like a dog with a bone, and I get taken over by some weird spirit that is never satisfied.” But isn't that the magic of it all? Amidst the spouts of seriousness, there's a playful joy and freedom simmering beneath the surface, reminding us all to enjoy the dance—even if the choreographed moves veer wildly off script.
