“She would just laugh at me because she’s very confident in her body and her sexuality and her being. Florence is Florence,” Andrew told Happy Sad Confused podcast host Josh Horowitz.
He said that he and Florence got carried away during the first take of a “very intimate, passionate sex scene.”
“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 just because we don’t hear ‘cut’ and it’s feeling safe, and we’re kind of like, ‘Okay let’s go to the next thing and the next thing and we’ll let this progress. And we’ll just carry on.’ At a certain point, both of us, I feel like we were telepathically saying to each other, ‘This definitely feels like a long take,’” he said.
Andrew said when he looked up, the cameraman wasn’t even filming them anymore.
“I look up and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator,” he said. “Stuart has the camera by his side and is turned into the wall.”
Watch the trailer for the new movie, which hits theaters on October 11.
