Andrew Garfield Unpacks ‘We Live In Time’s Chaotic & Intimate Birth Sequence With Weeks-Old Baby: “Mostly Acting With Florence’s Bum”


'We Live in Time' star Andrew Garfield unpacked the chaotic birth sequence from his nonlinear romantic dramedy, which featured a live baby.

We Live in Time star Andrew Garfield unpacked the chaotic birth sequence from his nonlinear romantic dramedy, which featured a weeks-old baby who pooped on his hand and an action movie-feel where his self-described scene partner was colleague Florence Pugh ‘s butt. In the film — which traces the years-long romance between Garfield’s earnest salesman Tobias and Pugh’s witty chef Almut amid illness, career and life milestones — standstill traffic, unlucky timing and a lack of better options forces a labor to take place in a gas station bathroom. To properly depict the scene, inspired by screenwriter Nick Payne’s worrying of his wife’s birthing experience, director John Crowley recreated a petrol station’s bathroom on a soundstage, where filming lasted for two days and was shot entirely through eight times.
