Andrew Garfield never fails to entertain, and his recent antics at the We Live in Time premiere are a perfect example. Just two weeks after revealing that his intimate scene with Florence Pugh was more passionate than expected—so much so that they didn’t hear “cut”—Garfield brought a life-sized cut-out of Pugh to the red carpet. Talk about commitment to the role!
During a chat on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Garfield shared that the chemistry between him and Pugh during filming was off the charts, leading to a longer take than planned. However, fans later discovered that Garfield and Dr. Kate Tomas, his rumored girlfriend, had actually split before the film’s release, leaving him single and free to indulge in some fun speculation with Pugh.
At the Oct. 17 premiere, Garfield playfully posed with the cardboard cut-out, which was a sweet gesture considering Pugh couldn’t attend due to scheduling conflicts. She expressed her disappointment on Instagram, saying she was raising a glass in celebration from afar. This charming move echoes moments from previous award shows, like Jason Momoa bringing a cut-out of Emilia Clarke to the 2020 Golden Globes and Brie Larson doing the same with Jeremy Renner at the Avengers: Endgame premiere.
Garfield’s playful spirit resonated with fans online, with many calling his gesture a “classic move.” One fan humorously noted, “Andrew Garfield cures my depression,” highlighting his infectious charm and humor. As fans speculate about a possible romantic connection between Garfield and Pugh, for now, we can enjoy their on-screen chemistry as they navigate a decade-long relationship in We Live in Time, which has garnered positive reviews, holding a 79% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.5 rating on IMDb.
It looks like this dynamic duo is one to watch!
