International versions of "Oppenheimer" have some very different sex scenes — including at least one scene where a CGI covering was reportedly edited over Florence Pugh's naked body.

The film features several sex scenes between Cillian Murphy's character and Florence Pugh's character, including one where Pugh appears naked on a chair.

Twitter users first started calling out the fairly realistic cover-up, which looks like a black slip dress, over the weekend, with one user posting that it's "the best ever cg work in India."

Other Twitter users chimed in to note that they saw similarly censored scenes at theatres in Bangladesh and Indonesia, Newsweek reported.

"Can confirm. This is the version being screened in Indonesia. A lot of her intimate scenes with Cillian was also heavily altered too," one person wrote.

Another Twitter user said they saw "jerk cuts" and a scene that was "blurred."

Sources close to the film confirmed to Insider that an edited version of the film was in fact released in "different countries like India, the Middle East, etc." as per "usual business practice."

The sources said the edited versions were released to "secure a release in different countries."
