The two are set to star in We Live in Time, an upcoming romantic drama that follows the decades-long romance of two people who meet by chance.

Like many romance films, there's a love scene in it, and during a recent conversation for 92NY, Andrew hilariously recalled how he and Florence kept going while filming the "intimate" number because they "never heard 'cut.'"

Andrew said, "We do the first take of this very intimate, passionate sex scene, and it's a closed set, which means it's only me and Florence in the room together and the camera operator...a lovely man called Stuart."

"He's very, very polite and very sweet and gentle," Andrew continued. "The director's in another room next door. And so the scene becomes passionate as we choreographed it."

"We get into it as it were, and we go a little bit further than we were meant to just because we never heard 'cut.'"

Andrew said it was "feeling safe," so "we just kind of like...go from the next thing to the next thing. [We thought] we'll let this progress and just carry on."

After a while, he looked up at the camera operator, only to find that he was looking away in the corner, waiting for Andrew and Florence to finish.
