“The camera broke in the middle of the sex scene,” Pugh said. “Nobody knows this, but it happened. The camera broke when we were both naked, and it wasn’t ideal timing.”
Pugh played Gene Tatlock, the communist lover of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Murphy), with whom he has an affair while married to his wife Kitty (Emily Blunt).
Pugh went on to say that she and her co-star were on a closed set, both arm in arm, waiting for someone to come and fix the camera. When the camera surgeon arrived, Pugh thought, “Now is the time to learn,” and she asked the specialist, “So tell me what’s wrong with this camera.”
“You just create your own moment,” Pugh added, drawing laughs from the audience. “It’s like, ‘What’s going on with the shutters here?'”
