Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy Experience Technical Difficulties While Filming Sex Scene for Oppenheimer
Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy encountered a camera malfunction during a sex scene on the set of Oppenheimer, as disclosed by Pugh during a Universal panel.
Camera Breaks During Sex Scene
Florence Pugh revealed that while filming a sex scene for Oppenheimer, the camera unexpectedly broke, causing a delay in production. Pugh shared that the incident occurred while both she and Cillian Murphy were naked, which made the timing less than ideal.
Pugh portrayed the character Jean Tatlock in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, who had a relationship with Murphy's character before and during his marriage to Katherine 'Kitty' Oppenheimer, played by Emily Blunt.
Filming Challenges and Learning Opportunities
During the mishap, Pugh humorously described how she and Murphy had to hold their bodies in an awkward position while waiting for the camera to be fixed. Pugh took advantage of the situation and used it as a learning opportunity by asking the camera technician about the problem.
She jokingly recounted her interaction with the camera surgeon, asking about the camera's issues and showing curiosity about its technicalities. The audience responded with laughter to Pugh's lighthearted anecdote.
Praise for the Production Team
Pugh praised Christopher Nolan's entire production team, emphasizing their expertise and dedication. She expressed her admiration for their knowledge and their commitment to creating a remarkable film. According to Pugh, there was never a dull moment on set, and she felt fortunate to be part of the project every day.
Oppenheimer received an impressive 13 Oscar nominations, making it the most nominated film this year. The nominations include categories such as best picture, best actor (Cillian Murphy), best director (Christopher Nolan), and best supporting actress (Emily Blunt) and actor (Robert Downey Jr.).
