Andrew Garfield: I May Bang a Dude Someday!

When it comes to sexuality, Andrew Garfield is just so gosh darn woke.


No, the Academy Award winner isn’t gay.


In fact, he’s never been with a man or really been attracted to men or had any desire to insert his penis into anything that isn’t a vagina.



But Garfield wants the world to know that he’s open to other openings!


In July of last year, the actor stirred up a bit of a controversy when he said he was “a gay man… without the physical act.”


What made him a gay man, if he didn’t engaged in any gay sex?


He watches a lot of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Garfield explained to Out Magazine, while adding that he might have an “awakening” someday and explore another “part of the garden.


In other words: heck, he may bang a dude at some point.


Who can ever say for certain?!?



In the latest issue of Out, Garfield reiterates this somewhat strange stance.


First, he acknowledges to the publication that his previous quote was misunderstood.


“I think part of what I was trying to say was about inclusion, and about that openness to my impulses.”


But then he basically goes ahead and says the same thing again.


“Up until this point, I’ve only been sexually attracted to women,” Garfield tells the magazine, trying to explain in further detail:


“My stance toward life, though, is that I always try to surrender to the mystery of not being in charge. I think most people – we’re intrinsically trying to control our experience here, and manage it, and put walls around what we are and who we are.


Garfield proceeds to use the kind of icky “garden” metaphor as he continues to ramble:


“I want to know as much of the garden as possible before I pass – I have an openness to any impulses that may arise within me at any time.


“But, if I were to identify, I would identify as heterosexual, and being someone who identifies that way, and who’s taking on this seminal role, my scariest thought was, ‘Am I allowed to do this?"”



The role to which Garfield is referring is Prior Walter in Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, a production that featured the star as a young New York resident living with AIDS.


He appeared in this role last summer in London and will soon reprise the role on Broadway.


The play centers on homosexuality and AIDS and related issues and Garfield is very proud to be associated with it.


“To be a part of transmitting all that feels like the most meaningful thing I could do with my life right now,” he says.


“I’m in a privileged position, and I want to keep listening, and learning as much as I possibly can. I want to be a part of the world spinning forward as much as anyone else.”


This is an admirable point of view.



This is really all Garfield should have said on the subject.


It’s great to support the LGBT community and it’s great that he wants to feel like he understands all sides of sexuality.


But he doesn’t. That’s just a fact.


There’s nothing wrong with being attracted to women and still believing in inclusiveness, in equal rights. There’s everything right about it in fact.


Garfield doesn’t need to go so far out of his way to pretend he relates to the gay community by pretending he’s part of the gay community.


Or could see himself being part of it someday.


That’s just an odd thing to say and it takes away from his overall point, leading to headlines such as the one above.


Don’t try so hard, Andy. We all know you’re one of the good ones already.

Andrew Garfield: I"m Gay! Kinda! Sorta!

Andrew Garfield may no longer be Spider-Man.


But the actor still finds himself in a rather sticky situation.



The British actor – who currently stars in a production of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America as Prior Walter, a young New York man living with AIDS – spoke to Out Magazine for its latast issue and actually came out of the closet.


Kind of. Sort of.


In an unusual manner of speaking.


“Every Sunday, I would have eight friends over and we would just watch Ru,” Garfield says, referring to the reality series RuPaul’s Drag Race and adding:


“I mean every single series of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I mean, every series. This is my life outside of this play.”


And then Garfield unttered the statement that has left the Internet confused and a bit angry:


I am a gay man right now just without the physical act – that’s all.


The star goes on to admit that there may be a time in the future when he’s willing to “explore” relations with the same gender, concluding:


“As far as I know, I am not a gay man.


“Maybe I’ll have an awakening later in my life, which I’m sure will be wonderful and I’ll get to explore that part of the garden, but right now I’m secluded to my area, which is wonderful, as well.”



It must be wonderful, critics have responded. You get to claim you’re gay… without dealing with any of the oppression so often faced by men who actually do identity with this sexual preference.


And who act on it, too, of course.


Simply watching a transgender model on television does not make one day, and many folks are irate at Garfield for an attitude that reflects cultural appropriation and historical ignorance.


Actor Scott Evans clapped back against Garfield on Twitter, for example, writing:


“This article grosses me out.Ur a talented guy,but seem to be completely oblivious to what is coming out of ur mouth.”


Another Internet user Tweeted that “Former #SpiderMan #AndrewGarfield has a very limited view of what being gay ACTUALLY is. #LGBTQ.”


Even if you think Garfield had harmless (or even noble) intentions, it’s difficult to argue with these critiques of his statement.



On the dating side, Garfield is best known for having had a long-term relationship with Emma Stone.


He’s appeared in multiple Broadway plays and he dresses very well, but these stereotypically gay actions don’t a actually qualify one to claim he is a homosexual.


In January, Garfield did make headlines after locking lips with Ryan Reynolds at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards.


“I just wanted Ryan to know that I loved him no matter whether he won or lost,” Garfield told Stephen Colbert after the smooch went viral.


He has also spoken out in favor of gay marriage and wondered why Spider-Man can’t be gay.


Garfield is clearly a committed advocate of sexual equality, he just likely wishes he could have this phrasing back. He doesn’t come across very well in the Out interview, as noted on Twitter:






What do YOU think?


Is this much ado about nothing?


Or should Andrew Garfield apologize?

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield: It"s Tragically Over!

It is tragically all over for Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield.


The beloved couple, who managed to maintain a significant amount of privacy while still coming across as totally adorable, have split after four years of dating.



“They still have a lot of love for one another and they are on good terms with each another and remain close,” an insider tell Us Weekly of the Amazing Spider-Man costars.


“It just wasn’t working.”


According to E! News, the relationship actually ended months ago and the stars remain on “good terms.”


There was actually talk back in April that Stone and Garfield broke up (due to alleged cheating by the latter), but those rumors were never confirmed.


Multiple reliable outlets are reporting on this split, however.


And most of them point to busy schedules on both ends as the basis for things not working out.


“I understand the interest in it completely, because I’ve had it, too,” Stone told WSJ Magazine this summer when asked about her romance with Garfield.


“But it’s so special to me that it never feels good to talk about, so I just continually don’t talk about it.”


See. This is why we loved these two so much!


Earlier today, it was announced that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez will file for divorce after two years of dating.


Both these famous twosomes now join MANY others that have called it quits in 2015. To wit…
