Florence Pugh Recalls How A Broken Camera Halted 'Oppenheimer' Sex Scene
HuffPost
"It was not ideal timing," Pugh explained.
Florence Pugh says she and Cillian Murphy had to stop in the middle of one of their intimate “Oppenheimer” scenes due to an equipment problem.
Pugh talked about the care that went into the production during a panel discussion with Murphy, co-star Emily Blunt and moderator Jamie Dornan in London in late November.
During the discussion, Pugh revealed how a camera stopped working right “in the middle of our sex scene” and how she made it a learning experience.
“Our camera broke when we were both naked, and it was not ideal timing,” said the star, who played J. Robert Oppenheimer’s ex, Jean Tatlock, in the film.
“Cillian and I are in this room together. It’s a closed set, so we’re both holding our bodies like this,” she remembered, hugging herself.
