Andrew Garfield has revealed he and Florence Pugh went a 'little bit further than they were meant to' for their sex scene in We Live In Time.

The actor, 41, stars as Tobias Durand, in the romance-comedy movie, with the actress, 28, featuring opposite him as his love interest Almut Brühl.

Speaking ahead of its release on October 11, Andrew told of how the pair got a little carried away during a 'very intimate, passionate sex scene' because they didn't hear a call of 'cut' from the crew.

During an appearance on the 92nd Street Y in New York City, he told the crowd: 'The scene becomes passionate, as we choreographed it.

'And 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, "Ok, we’ll just go into the next thing, we’ll let this progress, and we’ll just carry on."'

Andrew added that he and Florence continued performing the intimate sequence for such a long time that it forced the camera operator to turn away.

He explained: 'At a certain point, both of us, we’re both kind of telepathically saying to each other, "This definitely feels like a longer take."

'I look up, and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator. Stuart has the camera by his side and he’s turned into the wall.' 

We Live In Time follows the 'unconventional' love story of a recent divorcée and an on-the-rise chef. 

The first trailer sees Almut (Florence) and Tobias (Andrew)  brought together in a surprise meeting that changes their lives forever.

Through snapshots of their life together - including falling for each other, creating a home and building a family - a difficult truth is uncovered that rocks the relationship's foundation to the core.

As they embark on a 10-year romance that is challenged by time limits, they learn to treasure every moment of their unconventional love story.

The trailer sees Almut and Tobias first cross paths in a hospital room.

Bruised and looking worse-for-wear with a brace around his neck, Tobias asks Almut, 'So sorry, but do we know each other?'

'Yeah, no,' she replies, before admitting that she is the reason he's injured because she's accidentally hit him with her car.

The pair eventually fall in love and have a daughter together, leading a blissful life up until the point when Almut receives an ominous diagnosis.

We Live in Time will premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
