Andrew Garfield Advocates Supporting Palestinians In Gaza

Actor Andrew Garfield called attention to the war in Gaza during an interview to promote his new movie, “We Live in Time.”

“We should be putting our energy toward something that actually matters,” he said. “Maybe the lives of, I don’t know, Palestinians in Gaza right now. Maybe that’s where we put our hearts and our energy in, and anyone suffering, anyone oppressed, anyone that is suffering under the weight of the horrors of our world right now, anyone who doesn’t have a choice in living lives of dignity. That’s where our energy should be going right now.”

Garfield’s response was met with applause from the audience at the live recording.

Last year, the actor was one of the many creatives who signed the Artists4Ceasefire letter urging President Joe Biden to facilitate a cease-fire in Gaza. Since October 2023, more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war in Gaza.

During the podcast interview, Garfield also spoke about his career, including working with the late actor Heath Ledger on the 2009 movie “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.”

He said that he had “lots of mementos” of Ledger’s, most notably a pair of sunglasses he gave Garfield after the “Spider-Man” star complimented them.

“He was just a very generous, like, beautiful, creative spirit,” Garfield said of Ledger.
