Los Angeles, CA – Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy faced a challenging situation while filming a sex scene for the movie ‘Oppenheimer,’ as revealed by Pugh during a recent Universal panel. The incident occurred when the camera malfunctioned, leaving them both exposed and causing an inconvenient interruption.
Pugh portrayed 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.
When describing the incident, Pugh humorously mentioned how they were in a closed set, holding their bodies in a certain way, when the camera suddenly broke. It was during this unexpected break that Pugh took the opportunity to learn about the camera’s technical issues.
The actress playfully recounted asking the camera technician about the problem, making light of the situation and entertaining the audience with her amusing demeanor.
Pugh also praised the expertise and dedication of the entire production team. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work with a talented group of individuals and emphasized that there was never a dull moment on set.
‘Oppenheimer’ recently received 13 Oscar nominations, the highest number for any film this year. The nominations include categories such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Murphy, as well as nods for Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. in the supporting actor and actress categories.
Overall, despite the technical difficulties encountered during the filming of the sex scene, Pugh’s positive outlook and the impressive recognition received by ‘Oppenheimer’ highlight the resilience and success of the movie.
