It’s exciting to portray a couple’s sex life but I had to film one ‘sweaty’ scene EIGHT times, says Florence Pugh

SHE is setting pulses racing with her raunchiest movie yet – and now Florence Pugh has described how she used sex to portray the different stages of her character’s relationship. The Oxford-born beauty was guided by an expert intimacy co-ordinator to create such intense on-screen chemistry that she and Andrew Garfield end up “eating each other” in new film We Live In Time.
And Florence, who turned 29 on Friday, says it was “really exciting” to tear off her hunky co-star’s clothes to illustrate their love. She said: “I have always wanted to do a love story. "You actually get to understand the relationship, and what point they’re at in the relationship, through the style of sex they have.
“And that was purely because of our intimacy co-ordinator bringing that up in conversation and saying, ‘OK, but if you haven’t had sex before, you’re going to be fumbling.’. “‘And then, of course, in a different sex scene later when you’re trying to get pregnant and you’ve been given the green light, you’re going to just be eating each other’.”.
Florence, who is known for her vocal views on the way women’s bodies are portrayed in Hollywood, added: “It was really wonderful to actually slow down and make the beats and the intimacy within the sex actually matter more, every touch matter more.
