He got to that place by trusting Tony Kushner, and that he knew that he was the right person to tell that story. He talked about how his biggest concern playing Prior Walter was “what right did I have to play this wonderful gay role” when he is a straight man and that is not his history to tell. Yet here we are dissecting his entire spiel. And that’s precisely why Garfield’s comments weren’t worth talking about any further. Was it the smartest thing to respond to a question about how he prepared to star in a generation-defining masterpiece about the tortured gay experience and the struggle for acceptance and survival by joking about watching RuPaul’s Drag Race? No. This is one of those “I’m basically gay LOLOLOL” comments that your annoying straight friends say all the damn time after too many mimosas at brunch while talking about how much they love Carly Rae Jepsen and Glee. Of course having gay sex is an integral part of identifying as a gay man. People, OF COURSE ANDREW GARFIELD DOES NOT THINK HE IS A GAY MAN. His Drag Race comments also come amidst discussion the reading, research, historians, activists, and documentaries he consumed to prepare for the role. (UPDATE: We've tracked down an audio file of the conversation that seems to prove that Garfield was, in fact, joking. It seems, at least to this writer who takes respect for the LGBTQ community and gay culture in Hollywood very seriously, like a throwaway joke. Without actually being in London to hear them say this, you can still hear the tongue-in-cheek tone of his comment. “I am a gay man right now just without the physical act-that’s all.” “That is my life outside of this play,” he said. Maybe choosing an inopportune moment to respond to a serious question about a serious play with one of those “I’m relatable!” silly stories celebrities like to tell on the Jimmy Kimmel show, he talked about how, on his off time during rehearsals, he would have eight friends over and they would binge-watch RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Garfield plays Prior Walter, a gay man who is dying from AIDS.Īt the discussion, he was asked how he prepared for the role. Garfield is currently starring in a London production of Angels in America, Tony Kushner’s two-part Pulitzer Prize-winning epic examining the AIDS crisis and homosexuality in 1980s America. Super dumb thing to say, right? That’s the headline you’ve seen everywhere. But here we are on Day Two of our stern and stone-faced explanations of why he didn’t.Īs reported in Britain’s Gay Times magazine, Garfield told an audience at a panel discussion that he’s “a gay man right now just without the physical act.”

(I really hope everyone reading this has seen that movie…)Īndrew Garfield theoretically meant well. I’m King Gremlin, y’all, and you’ve all given me an entire jug of water. So little patience that I am indeed writing exactly one of those thinkpieces I was just complaining about.
