News of We Live in Time star Andrew Garfield's split with Dr. Kate Tomas had already unleashed shock and anger in social media circles. But what's catching attention now is speculation about whether Andrew and Dr. Kate might have been holding onto chemistry with fellow We Live in Time co-star Florence Pugh.
What has convinced fans that perhaps marketing the film pushed it a little too far by fueling rumors of a possible connection between Garfield and Pugh was that social networking sites are now abuzz with fans dissecting every little detail, be it on-screen moments or behind-the-scenes interactions.
As users of platforms like X (formerly Twitter) react to Garfield's split, they're scrambling to connect the dots between the movie and the actor's life. Was it too good chemistry to be acting, or is it all just clever marketing?
Now, let's see what fans are saying as they try to piece together the puzzle of it all.

We Live in Time star Florence Pugh's influence on the rumors
Much of the media hoopla surrounding Andrew Garfield's breakup has been focused on Florence Pugh. Even though in We Live in Time, Pugh and Garfield do share some pretty great chemistry, that hasn't been able to stop fans from wondering if that chemistry spilled over into real life.
From suggestive looks during promotional events to behind-the-scenes footage, every interaction between the two We Live in Time actors is being analyzed under a microscope.
While some fans claim that the dramatic scenes in the movie were too much to be seen, others dismiss it as PR to gain extra viewership. Whatever the truth is, evidence aside, Florence Pugh's part in fuelling this rumor can't be denied.
How much is the marketing for We Live in Time fueling the speculation?
Well, the reality and marketing line is impossible to penetrate, especially in Hollywood. Now, fans are caught wondering if the marketing team behind We Live in Time is subtly playing along with the Garfield and Pugh rumors and relationship to drum up interest for the film.
All in all, from strategically located photographs to interviews that were carried to the public, it is entirely possible that marketing was handled in a way to benefit from the simple chemistry of the stars.
If that's the case, then it's clearly effective: there's heightened discussion and debate among fans, and naturally, the film's profile has increased. However, with Garfield's private life now in the spotlight, it raises the question: how far is too far in marketing?
