What happened during Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy's intimate scene In Oppenheimer's shooting?
Appearing in a Universal Panel interview, the 28-year-old actress revealed how technical difficulties interrupted the sex scene of Oppenheimer. As the Black Widow actress recalls, “In the middle of our sex scene, the camera broke.” She also added, “No one knows this, but it did. Our camera broke when we were both naked, and it was not ideal timing.” The female protagonist of Oppenheimer also revealed how this glitch led Cillian and herself to hold each other’s bodies, in a manner like wrapping one’s arms around themselves. The actress also explained how it was a closed set. A curious learner, the Midsommar actress took this opportunity to ask the camera surgeon, “So tell me, what’s wrong with this camera?” This anecdote made the Dune actress giggle and also explained how these are the moments one creates. She also went on to add, “I’m like, ‘What’s going on with the shutter here, buddy?'” 
It was a hilarious encounter, as the Little Women actress recalls.
