In an interview on the chat show LIVE with Kelly and Mark, Florence Pugh opened up about her experience shooting the 2024 rom-com We Live in Time. Directed by John Crowley, the movie follows a chef and a recently divorced man who meet by accident and fall in love. As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to overcome hurdles and cherish each moment of their lives together.
Florence Pugh plays the role of Almut, a talented chef and restaurant owner who falls in love with Tobias, played by Andrew Garfield. In the interview, when Pugh was asked if she felt an undeniable chemistry with Garfield right away, she replied:
"Yeah, it's funny we've been asked this question all the way through the press tour, of like people wanting us to explain what our chemistry is. Ultimately, I don't really- we don't really know what chemistry is, other than the fact that you've got two energies that are working together."
Florence Pugh on working with Andrew Garfield and the making of the film

In the interview, Florence Pugh opened up about how excited she was to work with her co-star Garfield.
"He's such a talented actor, and I've always admired his work, and when I saw this movie opportunity, of whether I would do it....I just was so unbelievably thrilled to know that I could have the opportunity (of) working with him in this way," she said.
She further explained the possible reason for their powerful on-screen chemistry.
"I think when you have two people that are completely invested in being great for one another..., um, I guess that's probably what happened," she added.
She even joked about how she got to use her real accent in this movie since the actress usually takes up non-British roles. She even joked that she would receive messages from people telling her to stop putting on a fake accent.
Pugh spoke about her experience filming We Live in Time and how excited she is to share this story with others.
"We had such an insane experience shooting this movie and creating this life with these lovers...um, and it's just been really really wonderful to talk to people about it and hear how it's affected them," she stated.
