Set to be released in the UK at the start of 2025, Garfield recently spoke about once scene in particular.
In conversation with Josh Horowitz at 92nd Street Y in New York, Garfield explained what happened when he and Pugh didn't hear the cameraman shouting 'cut' during one particularly passionate sex scene.
"We were doing the first take of this very intimate, passionate scene and it's a closed set which means it's only me and Florence and the camera operator who's a lovely man called Stuart," said Garfield.
"And he's very polite and very sweet and gentle. The director's in another room next door.
"And so 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."
Garfield explained that at one point, he looked up and saw that Stuart had the camera by his side and was stood in the corner of the room facing the wall, seemingly waiting for them to stop.
One fan commented: "How in character does one have to be for this to happen?"
While another said: "That's so awkward, but kudos to the cameraman for being considerate!"
And a third added: "That sounds like a hilarious yet awkward moment on set! Andrew and Florence must have been so into the scene that they totally lost track of everything around them."
Garfield and Pugh have recently spoken about their experience of filming We Live In Time, with Pugh explaining it was only the second time she had used her natural English accent in the movie, while Garfield admitted it was the first time he had ever used his.
"This is my second movie doing my own voice, but it has been a long time," said Pugh.
Meanwhile, Garfield added: "I think it's the first time, maybe, I'm using my — yeah, yeah, that's true."
The movie is set for release on 1 January 2025 in the UK.
