He will soon be seen in Martin Scorsese’s forthcoming epic Silence, and let’s face it, is doing rather well for himself, but Andrew Garfield has revealed in a Variety Q&A that was left ‘heartbroken’ from his turn in The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, and how it all ended up.
Garfield was speaking in an ‘Actors on Actors’ interview series and revealed all to Amy Adams.
“I’m loath to judge that experience and paint it as a whole. But there were great things about it. I got to work with incredible actors and a really great director,” he said
“I was very young for a man – I was 25, 26 – and I felt young in retrospect. I’d only done a few films, and I was feeling so in the right place… I felt guided into it, and I knew it was the right thing for me to do. I learned a lot about what feels good and what doesn’t feel good and what to say yes to.”
Garfield went into further detail, “There’s something about being that young in that kind of machinery which I think is really dangerous. I was still young enough to struggle with the value system, I suppose, of corporate America. It’s a corporate enterprise mostly.
There’s something that happened with that experience for me where story and character were not actually top of the priority list, ultimately. And I found that really, really tricky. I signed up to serve the story, and to serve this incredible character that I’ve been dressing as since I was three, and then it gets compromised and it breaks your heart. I got heartbroken a little bit to a certain degree. Not entirely.”
Garfield will next be seen in the forthcoming Mel Gibson-directed World War II true story Hacksaw Ridge, which he also getting huge acclaim for.
