‘Tick, Tick…Boom!’ scored Andrew Garfield his second Oscar nomination—but it also helped the star navigate the complex, overwhelming feelings of loss off-screen.
Garfield gave a remarkable string of performances in 2021, playing an alluring L.A. grifter in Gia Coppola’sand of course, Larson. They reestablished him as an unabashed man of the heart—or more colloquially, as I suggest to him, a theater kid. “Is it that obvious?” Garfield replies. “Is that clear? I’m proud. I wear that badge proudly. Theater saved my life. To be honest, I was an athlete, and I was a clown. I was an idiot. But until I was 16, I didn’t know theater was a thing.
In 2021, Garfield made a return of a different sort, playing Spider-Man once more in the enormous hita multiverse twist in the live-action franchise starring Tom Holland. Before the film premiered, Garfield had to lie about his part in it to the press—over and over, for at least six months. Was that a problem for someone driven by honesty and authenticity? Well, no. “I loved keeping it secret. I was able to get over my ethical, moral dilemma with whether this is a lie that is justifiable.
Garfield’s lifelong affinity for the story of Peter Parker—a working-class kid trying to protect the many from the greed of a few—made his return cathartic. Doing it alongside Tobey Maguire, who also reprised the role, was particularly poignant because Garfield had loved Maguire’s Spider-Man movies: “I was just obsessed with what he was doing.” He suggested to Maguire and the filmmakers that the film feed off that energy.
Still, being an artist is not just about warm, filial feelings; the craft also requires sacrifice. Garfield illustrates that with a visceral anecdote. In 2018, after a two-show day performing the wrenching playon Broadway , Garfield arrived home exhausted, wanting only to devour a huge steak and watch the NBA playoffs. He bit into his meal, then began to choke.
“There were three levels of consciousness going on,” he says, illuminating each with a different facial expression, his typically mellifluous register descending into hushed tones before rising into exclamation. “One was, I want to enjoy my steak. I deserve my steak and my basketball. Fuck this. The second level was, Holy fuck. I think I might be in danger of actually asphyxiating myself here.
