Andrew Garfield's Behind-the-Scenes Revelation

Andrew Garfield shared some surprising behind-the-scenes moments from the set of his new film, We Live in Time, during an event at 92NY. The Golden Globe winner vividly recounted a "very intimate, passionate sex scene" he filmed with co-star Florence Pugh, which led to an unexpected reaction from their cinematographer, Stuart Bentley.

Intense Performance on a Closed Set

The duo, while shooting the scene on a closed set, became so engrossed in their roles that they crossed the boundaries of what was initially choreographed. Garfield admitted, “We didn't hear ‘cut,’ and it felt safe, so we just went with it. We thought, ‘Let’s see where this goes.’” His description illustrates the intensity of their performance, noting that both he and Pugh were mentally communicating with each other, acknowledging that the take felt unusually long.

Cinematographer's Reaction

Garfield humorously added that when he glanced towards Bentley, he found the cinematographer had turned his back to the action, trying to give the actors their privacy. This moment reflects the strong creative rapport established on set.

Florence Pugh's Gratitude

Florence Pugh also expressed gratitude toward director John Crawley during the film's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. She emphasized the importance of the safe environment Crawley fostered, stating, “I wouldn’t have been able to do any of the stuff without the safety. Neither of us would be here without John’s space that he provided for us.”
