Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh accidentally took their sex scene in the upcoming film, “We Live In Time,” “further” than needed.
Garfield explained that he and Pugh did not hear the directors yell “cut” while filming the intimate scene and ended up taking it “further” than what was necessary for the film.
“We were getting into it, as it were, and we go a little bit further than we meant,” Garfield told Josh Horowitz in a fan-captured video uploaded to X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Just because we never heard ‘cut,’ and it was feeling safe,” he explained.

ANDREW GARFIELD ON WHY HE DOESN’T LIKE TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA: ‘I’M TOO SENSITIVE’
Garfield broke down what was going through his mind during the scene. “And 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,'” he explained.
“We were getting into it, as it were, and we go a little bit further than we meant.”

The actor then shared that he looked up at cameraman Stuart Bentley to see that he wasn’t even filming him and Pugh.
