“I worked harder than I’ve ever worked on anything and I’m really proud of it,” Garfield said in 2019. Leaked emails later alleged Garfield didn’t want to attend a gala linked to the release of the 2014 film, derisively claiming he just wanted “to be left alone.”Īs Garfield explained, though, he had some deeper issues with the production that couldn’t be glossed over with a fancy, red carpet event. He did not come back for a third film, and the feeling appeared to be mutual at the time. The actor appeared in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man and the follow-up 2014 film The Amazing Spider-Man 2, both distributed by Sony Pictures. The 38-year-old actor and producer told The Independent back in 2019 that he felt pressured to apologize for questioning the iconic character’s potential bisexuality to sell tickets to homophobes. But maybe he really is open to a ride on the pogo stick.With the leaked news that former Spider-Man actors Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire will be joining the latest arthropodous superhero Tom Holland in the upcoming flick Spider-Man: No Way Home, Garfield’s past comments about his experiences starring in two previous movies have resurfaced. Part of me definitely thinks this is just Grade-A gay baiting. “I think part of what I was trying to say was about inclusion, and about that openness to my impulses.” But, if I were to identify, I would identify as heterosexual, and being someone who identifies that way, and who’s taking on this seminal role, my scariest thought was, Am I allowed to do this?”Īndrew previously said he was “ a gay man…without the physical act,” so I would genuinely be shocked if he doesn’t stumble upon a floppy wiener or two in that traipse through the garden and decide to fertilize the plants, nawwwhatImean? While that line has since been adopted as the motto of the Mormon Church, Andrew says he meant it more as being sexually agnostic: I want to know as much of the garden as possible before I pass - I have an openness to any impulses that may arise within me at any time. I think most people - we’re intrinsically trying to control our experience here, and manage it, and put walls around what we are and who we are. My stance toward life, though, is that I always try to surrender to the mystery of not being in charge.
“Up until this point, I’ve only been sexually attracted to women. His love for arguably the queer drama of our time naturally led to him chatting about his own spot on the sexuality spectrum:
He played the role last year at the UK’s National Theatre, and he said his first exposure was watching the 2003 HBO miniseries that starred Meryl Streep.
Out sat down with Andrew to talk about reprising his role as Prior for a Broadway turn of Angels In America. I imagine Nick Jonas is furiously firing off an iMessage to his assistant to make a “ fake” Grindr account with nude pics because his gay-baiting rival, Andrew Garfield, has something to promote and is back with a vengeance to talk about his maybe-maybe-not love for the peen.
