Biografie

Was in a relationship with Emma Stone from 2011 to October 2015. They met while filming The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).

Has been considered the role of the Doctor in Doctor Who (2005). He previously appeared in two episodes of the show.

Won the 2018 Best Actor in a Play Tony Award for his performance in "Angels in America".

He is close friends with Robert Pattinson and Matt Smith, whom he has known since they started acting.

He was originally asked to audition for Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network (2010) but David Fincher decided he was too good at wearing his heart on his sleeve to play such an emotionally guarded character. Garfield found it helpful to go from reading for Mark to reading for his eventual role of Eduardo, because he felt that Eduardo tried to understand Mark through Mark's point of view.

I'm very neurotic and self-conscious. So I think that I'll know when I'm becoming a dick and believing my own press.

Obviously there's something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you're doing them for the wrong reasons - for money, or for fame. I hope I won't ever do that. I don't feel at home in LA, I feel like I'm on holiday. It's nice to dip your feet in occasionally, but I think it's probably quite unhealthy to spend too much time there at once.

I hope that I have to audition for every single job I want. I hope that I'm always struggling, really. You develop when you're struggling. When you're struggling, you get stronger.

I think too much. Being in my body is much more satisfying than being in my head.

[on Hollywood parties/events] - Those events that look like so much fun in the photos you see-it's mostly people looking over their shoulders at everyone. They're miserable, those parties.
