Since Pugh was away for another shoot, Garfield brought a cardboard cutout of the actress for the film’s premiere at the London Film Festival.

Florence Pugh praised Andrew Garfield calling him a ‘Genius’
Florence Pugh shared snippets of her cardboard piece on her Instagram story and wrote the joke was a genius move while praising Andrew Garfield. In We Live in Time, the British actress plays a young chef diagnosed with cancer, while Garfield takes on the role of her partner and the father of their three-year-old daughter.
The film, currently being shown in select theaters and set to release nationwide on October 18, 2024, earned a standing ovation following its debut at the Toronto Film Festival on September 6, 2024.
In a People Magazine exclusive from October 16, 2024, Andrew Garfield mentioned he was initially reserved around Florence Pugh. He said,
“I was really scared. I think we were both really scared and nervous because it takes a while to get to know someone. There's layers there. There's defenses there. I am someone, who on first meeting someone, I can be quite shy and quite protective and it takes me a while to really let someone know me. But then, when they're in, there's no getting out.”
When the duo presented the awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2023 Oscars, Garfield recalled that Pugh playfully teased him just before they stepped on stage in front of the audience.
He mentioned they had very different approaches to such moments, as he preferred to understand the structure beforehand and then let things unfold naturally in the moment.
