Florence Pugh speaks out on 'chemistry' with Andrew Garfield after 'not hearing cut' while doing sex scene during film

Florence Pugh has spoken out about her chemistry with Andrew Garfield in their newly released film We Live in Time.

The movie came out January 1 in the UK, and features the titanic acting pair as Almut and Tobias.

The film follows their lives in fragmented non-linear moments, telling the story of their relationship whilst jumping around it sequentially.

We Live in Time has received various plaudits from critics, in particular the strong chemistry and performances from the leading pair and the handling various tones of the film.

As a film, it has moments of genuine comedy alongside utterly heartbreaking twists. In addition to that, though, it has brilliantly portrayed sex scenes, in which the pair share great chemistry.

Their chemistry led to them for one scene to be so in the moment, they ‘didn’t hear cut’ during filming.

Garfield sat down with Josh Horowitz in New York recently to speak about an intimate scene with Pugh, where neither of them heard the cameraman shout 'cut', so as the professionals that they are, the actors kept going at it.

He explained that it was a 'closed set', where the director was in a different room and there was only a camera operator named Stuart in there with the actors, who had to perform the passionate sex scene.

Garfield explained: "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."

However, it reached a point where The Amazing Spider-Man actor looked up and realised that Stuart was stood facing the wall in the corner of the room, waiting for them to finish.

It's a great example of professionalism from the actors, who kept going as they didn't hear to stop, while speaking to the on-screen spark between the actors.

Pugh spoke about this and the Kelly and Mark show, as the hosts pointed out that she even had 'chemistry with a door knob'.

Noting that she's been asked the question a few times by the press, she said: "Ultimately, we don't really know what chemistry is, other than the fact that you've got two energies that are working together - and he's such a talented actor, and I've always admired his work, and when I saw this movie opportunity of whether I would do it.

"I just was so unbelievably thrilled to know that I could have the opportunity working with him in this way."

The Oppenheimer actress went on: "I think when you have two people that are completely invested in being great for one another, I guess that's probably what happened, we had such an insane experience shooting this movie and creating this life with these lovers."

Going on to say that it was 'wonderful' to hear that people have enjoyed the film, Pugh also said she was 'excited' for wider audiences to be able to experience the flick.

We Live in Time is in cinemas now.
