Andrew Garfield recently opened up about a steamy on-screen moment with co-star Florence Pugh that has reportedly caused some tension in his personal life. The Amazing Spider-Man actor described an intense scene from their upcoming film, We Live in Time, where things went further than expected during filming.
According to sources who spoke with RadarOnline, Garfield’s girlfriend, Dr. Kate Tomas, was less than thrilled about his candid comments. “Andrew’s girlfriend is one of the most liberal people on the planet, but even she has been wound up by this,” the insider revealed. The source added, “To hear her lover say he was so entranced by Florence that they continued pretending to have sex even after ‘cut’ was called is devastating for her ego—and potentially their relationship. What girlfriend wouldn’t be devastated by this?”
Garfield’s detailed account of the filming experience only fueled the speculation. In his interview, he shared how the scene between him and Pugh escalated when they didn’t hear the director call “cut.” “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’s feeling safe.
And we’re just kinda like, ‘Okay, we’ll just go into the next thing, we’ll let this progress, and we’ll just carry on,’” Garfield recounted. He further explained that during the scene, both he and Pugh had a sense that something was off. “We both kind of telepathically said to each other, ‘This definitely feels like a longer take,’” he added.
However, Garfield noted that when he looked up, he saw that the cameraman had turned away from the scene and was facing the wall, likely due to the intensity of the moment. The incident has certainly drawn attention, with fans and media outlets speculating about the potential impact on Garfield’s relationship with Tomas.
Despite her reportedly open-minded nature, it seems this on-screen chemistry has struck a nerve. While Garfield’s dedication to his craft is evident, it remains to be seen whether his openness about the intense scene with Pugh will affect his personal life. For now, his comments have sparked a buzz, both about the film and the behind-the-scenes dynamics that come with Hollywood’s most intimate moments.
