Cinepals React to Andrew Garfield's Wired Autocomplete Interview and Come Away Wanting to Give Him a Hug

We sat down to watch Andrew Garfield tackle Wired's autocomplete interview, where he answers the web's most searched questions about himself, and our verdict by the end was simple: we just want to give this guy a cuddle. We joked going in that there was no particular reason Wired would have him on right now other than the fact that he had just put out tick tick boom on Netflix, which we said was great.

For anyone who loves Garfield as Spider-Man or just as a performer, this kind of loose, unscripted interview is exactly the stuff that makes fans fall for him harder, and that is exactly what happened to us watching it.

Andrew Garfield's Secret Spider-Man Comic-Con Moment Is What Won Us Over

One of the biggest reactions came when we brought up a story from outside the Wired interview itself. "He won me over when he was secretly spider-man at comic-con, that's when he won me over because like he he was in full costume walking around just like being a fan and then he showed up to do a question at the panel and it was him and everyone's just lost their," we said, adding that it felt personally relatable because "i would totally do the same thing if i was spider-man."

We Had No Idea Andrew Garfield Actually Sang in Tick Tick Boom

When Garfield explained in the Wired clip that he trained with vocal coach Liz Kaplan and Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical direction team to actually belt out Jonathan Larson's songs himself, we were genuinely surprised. We admitted we assumed his singing had been dubbed, the way Rami Malek's singing was replaced in Bohemian Rhapsody, and that we had figured someone like Joaquin Phoenix, who did his own singing for Walk the Line, was more the exception. Finding out Garfield did his own vocals changed our impression of the performance for the better.

Our Take: He Gives Off Jimmy Stewart Energy and His Pickiness Is a Good Sign

Watching him laugh at himself and downplay his own fame throughout the interview, we landed on a comparison: "he kind of gives me jimmy stewart vibes," even though we admitted Stewart was not really known for that same expressiveness, and that Luke Wilson had given us a similar feeling before. We also liked hearing him admit he has not made many movies because he is selective about roles, reasoning that "everything you watch of his stuff is going to be noteworthy and good" as a result. We were also surprised to learn just how young he started acting, given his first film was Lions for Lambs alongside Robert Redford and Meryl Streep.
