'I am a gay man right now, pretty much, just without the physical act - that's all. This is my life outside of this play,' he continued. 'Every Sunday, I would have eight friends over, and we would just watch Ru, that's literally it. Garfield also mentioned that he has been dedicating a lot of time to watching 'every season of RuPaul's Drag Race.' In detailing the ways in which he prepared for the role, Garfield said that he watched 'lots of films,' - such as the 2011 documentary We Were Here and the 2012 documentary How to Survive a Plague - that he had done 'lots of reading,' and that he put up 'Peter Staley wallpaper on my walls in my dressing room,' referring to the iconic AIDS activist and groundbreaking LGBT rights advocate.
Me doing is as much devoted to my friends in the gay community as it is to those that I don't know and those that passed during the AIDS epidemic,' Garfield added. 'The preparation had begun with all of my friends. 'So for me it was doing honor, doing justice and knowing my herstory, as it were.'
At the time, the 33-year-old Amazing Spider-Man star was describing the preparation process for his role in a London production of Angels in. 'I had to trust that it was the right thing, and Tony had asked me and I thought, 'Well, if you're asking me then maybe it's OK,'' he explained. Andrew Garfield is hitting back against criticism he received after claiming he was a gay man right now, just without the physical act earlier this month.
