Andrew Garfield says he and Florence Pugh didn’t hear a ‘cut’ while filming ‘We Live in Time’ sex scene: ‘We just keep going’

“At a certain point we both telepathically say to each other, ‘This definitely feels like a long take.'”

Future filmmakers take note: Andrew Garfield reveals why it’s important to shout “Cut!”

During a recent appearance on Friday at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, the actor recalled an incident where he and his We live in time Co-star Florence Pugh filmed a “very intimate, passionate sex scene” together and had to maintain on-screen chemistry for an extended period of time because they never heard anyone yell “cut.”

“The scene becomes more passionate as we choreograph it,” Garfield explained in video footage of the event posted on social media. “And we kind of get into it and go a little further than we should because we’ve never heard ‘Cut’ and it feels safe.” And we just say, ‘Okay, we’ll just move on to the next step, we’ll let it move on and just keep going.'”

Garfield mentioned earlier in his story that the scene, which takes place in their characters’ shared house in the country, was shot on a closed set with only the film’s cinematographer, Stuart Bentley, and a boom operator in the room .

However, as they continued to play through the scene, Garfield and Pugh began to realize that the spicy part had been going on for quite some time. He added: “And at a certain point we both telepathically say to each other, ‘This definitely feels longer.'”

Garfield then played back to the crowd what he saw when he finally caught a glimpse of what was happening outside the scene. “I look up and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator,” he said before turning his back to the crowd. “Stuart has the camera at his side and he’s turned into the wall.”

Director: John Crowley (Brooklyn), We live in time follows the relationship between Tobias (Garfield) and Almut (Pugh) as they navigate their careers, family and cancer diagnosis. Their romance is told out of chronological order, instead choosing to jump back and forth between memorable moments within their ever-evolving relationship.

“Every scene in a movie is there for a reason, but when it jumps back and forth like that, every single snapshot you see in their life is a central memory,” Pugh previously said Weekly entertainment. “It’s the main event of what’s going on. With that in mind, I felt like there was a reason for each individual scene and how it then made the rest of these eras flow into one another within the 10 years. It gave me more attention to detail in every single moment.”

We live in time hits theaters in limited release on October 11th and nationwide on October 18th.
