Cillian Murphy has high praise for his and Florence Pugh’s “Oppenheimer” sex scenes, but he admits they were “awkward” to film.“They’re the most awkward possible part of our job. But sometimes you have to get on with it,” he continued, calling the moments “worthwhile” because Pugh’s character Jean Tatlock’s affair with J. Robert Oppenheimer is “key” to the movie.
“[That] is one of the most crucial emotional parts of the film,” Murphy added. “I think they were vital.”“No one likes doing them,” the actor admitted.while speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald last week. “Those scenes were written deliberately,” he said on July 19. “They’re not gratuitous. They’re perfect. And Florence is just amazing.”
Murphy noted that director Christopher Nolan “knew that those scenes would get the movie the [R] rating that it got.”The Golden Globe nominee went on to call Pugh, 27, a “f–king phenomenal” actress. “She has this presence as a person and on screen that is staggering,” he explained. “The impact she has [in ‘Oppenheimer’] for the size of the role, it’s quite devastating.”
