The actress claimed that while filming a sexual scene on Christopher Nolan’s demands, she and the movie’s lead actor, Cillian Murphy, went through a difficult moment.
Many believed that Florence Pugh would finally break the silence and reveal what happened during the making of Don’t Worry, Honey, the dramatic movie in which she co-starred with Harry Styles and was directed by Olivia Wilde when she started to talk about her unpleasant experience on set.
Christopher Nolan
But the actress shocked everyone when she disclosed the awkward scenario he went through in Oppenheimer, which is one of the best films nominated for the latest Oscars.
Following the Christopher Nolan film’s showing, the actress engaged in a sort of open discussion with the crowd, sharing her experience. There, she revealed that she experienced extreme vulnerability when acting out a sexual scene with Cillian Murphy.
She claimed that the fact that she and her companion had to stay nude in front of the film crew after the action had ended was the real issue, not the scene itself.
The movie chronicles the life of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who played a key role in the creation of the atomic bomb, which the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in Japan.
Florence Pugh
Pugh portrays Jean Tatlock, a communist party official who has an affair with Murphy’s character, the main character. There are three sex sequences in the movie between them; Pugh did not say which one was problematic.
The truth is that one of the major cameras malfunctioned during the filming of one of those private sequences. The crew as a whole had to take a break as they attempted to fix it, according to Pugh. That left her standing there in her undies as they waited for the situation to blow over.
The actress affirms that, even though it was not an easy circumstance, she did not allow it to impact her at the time. Furthermore, the actress utilized the events as an illustration of a thesis that has multiple interpretations: in her view, Oppenheimer was filmed like a classic Hollywood production.
She said she was often taken aback by the team’s almost artisanal approach to problem-solving. Pugh claims that even during that uncomfortable pause in production, she picked up some technical knowledge.
Oscars Awards
One of the qualities that sets Oppenheimer apart from the other films vying for Oscars is precisely that a classic film aura. For this reason, many believe that Hollywood will stick to its tradition of bestowing upon Oppenheimer multiple awards for which it is nominated.
Best film, best director, best actor (Murphy), best-supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), best supporting actress (Emily Blunt), best adapted screenplay, best photography, best editing, best sound, best soundtrack, best production design, best makeup and hair, and best costumes are among the total 13 categories in which it competes.
Pugh recognized that the movie was a big production when he agreed to play a part in it. He even revealed what Christopher Nolan said to him when he extended the part offer: “He assured me that my character was not a main character and that he would understand if I declined.”
It was hilarious because, to be honest, I didn’t mind; I would have agreed to play a distantly seen female who serves coffee in a pub.
