Andrew Garfield initially felt "really scared" about working with Florence Pugh.
The 41-year-old actor stars alongside Florence, 28, in the new rom-com 'We Live in Time' - but Andrew has now confessed to harbouring some nerves about working the actress.
He told PEOPLE: "I was really scared. I think we were both really scared and nervous because it takes a while to get to know someone.
"There's layers there. There's defences there.
"I am someone, who on first meeting someone, I can be quite shy and quite protective and it takes me a while to really let someone know me. But then, when they're in, there's no getting out.”
Despite this, Andrew and Florence developed a strong bond over time.
He said: "I could see quickly that I could trust her, that she wanted to have fun, that she wanted to play. And that is like catnip to me. Someone who wants to just p*** around and she started taking the p*** out of me. I really enjoyed that. I took the p*** out of her and she really enjoyed that."
Andrew and Florence presented awards at the Oscars back in 2023. But the actor has now admitted that they approached the responsibility in very different ways.
Andrew shared: "We just have very, very different styles of approaching something like that. I like knowing the structure of a thing and then letting go in the moment.
"And she was much more just in the flow of it. And I was trying to make sure I was breathing deeply beforehand, because I can get quite nervous and overwhelmed at those things. And I wanted to make sure I knew the route and I wanted to make sure I knew who was standing where."
