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 a new interview with The New York Times that zeroes in on the making of one of the A24 film’s most frenzied scenes, Garfield explained that the shooting process felt high-stakes. “It’s the big action event,” the Academy Award-nominated actor said. “It’s the Indiana Jones sequence.” 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.
Though a doll was used for blocking, a weeks-old baby was brought in for the ending moment following the successful birth, which also featured two comical workers caught up in the mix (played by scene-stealers Nikhil Parmar and Kerry Godliman).
