Andrew Garfield Advocates for Emotional Openness Among Men

The actor discusses his close friendships, personal growth, and the privilege of connecting with others through shared experiences of grief.

Andrew Garfield, in a recent interview with GQ, emphasized the importance of emotional honesty in male friendships, calling it a rare but valuable connection.
The actor revealed he maintains a chat group called 'The Lucky Fuckers' with older male friends, where they bond over shared values of truth, vitality, and honesty.
Garfield reflected on his personal journey of overcoming dependency on external validation, striving instead for inner peace and self-acceptance.
He spoke about the impact of losing his mother to cancer in 2019 and described his openness to discussing grief with others as a privilege rather than a burden.
