Andrew Garfield joins GQ as he revisits some of the most iconic characters from his career so far: from playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man and Marvel’s Cinematic Universe to Tobias Durand in the romantic drama We Live in Time.

“You want it to feel like you’re actually doing something that has effect, that can create some ripples in a young person’s life,” says the American actor as he reflects on his role as Spider-Man. “[Something] that can wake them up to their own extraordinariness and their own ordinariness, as both being normal.” Watch the full episode of GQ’s Iconic Characters as Andrew Garfield breaks down his most iconic movie roles.

We Live In Time is in US theaters now.

Love how connected he is to himself and the art.

@rome8180 1 year ago

He's so articulate. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a dumb American fooled by his accent. He has a really precise, thoughtful way of expressing himself.

@bohemiansnitch 1 year ago

his commentary on the friendship between zuckerburg and saverin is so thoughtful and nuanced, it's wonderful listening to him

Andrew Garfield is getting to the Keanu Reeves level of likeable

@GetSignalized 1 year ago

calling himself the custodian of the character is so humble.

@eleni777 1 year ago

we're getting a lot of andrew content and i am LIVING for it

@Raniahf2000 1 year ago

He is one of my favorite actors, not only because he is a great actor and has his own acting style but as a human being too, a wonderful, kind and honest person. He is genuine and thoughtful

@TMomsen 1 year ago

I just love how sensitive he is. He talks about the Spiderman and what he means for people, and has tears in his eyes, that's some high emotional intelligence.

I still believe to this day that TASM didn't deserve the hate it got and that it deserved a third movie. casually leaving a series with a cliff hanger is brutal

Who else clicked on this video to see him talk about “The Social network”

@Bolugaze21 1 year ago (edited)

I’m glad everyone agrees he had the best web swinging scenes out of all the live action🕷️🕸️ movies

@lincoln2324 1 year ago

The guy feels such real-life person. He doesn't hesitate in admitting he didn't want to do something, or saying the F word. Not afraid to be himself in a conversation. And yes, I also clicked for the social network...and 99 HOMES

@Yasunii 1 year ago

I don't think I've ever heard someone talk so passionately about acting like this before

@amyrocks88ss 1 year ago

I thought I looked young and then there's Andrew Garfield who doesn't look a day older than maybeee 27 and who's 41 ...my jaw is on the floor

@Hillbilly6-c5p 1 year ago (edited)

This dude as private doss in Hack saw ridge was the greatest

@xiax4453 1 year ago

Andrew Garfield would go hard in a future knives Out movie

@SlayerE-i9e 1 year ago

Seeing Andrew & Tobey in NWH was the best!!!

@mwatson7474 1 year ago

Andrew Garfield's entire interview is about other people and how amazing they are. That is such a treat. I would watch anything he was in just to support but he is also amazing and talented himself. What a wonderful interview.

@hashi9940 1 year ago

his Jonathan Larson was superb. it’s unbelievable that he couldn’t win an oscar for that

@ian4487 1 year ago

One of the best filmographies of any actor. Wish they would have had him talk about "Under the Banner of Heaven," considering how it contrasts with "Silence" and "Hacksaw Ridge" in terms of how it is about someone losing their faith as opposed to those films which are about a deep reverence for it.
