Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield defends his acting style

It’s no secret that Andrew Garfield is currently thriving in Hollywood. In addition to returning as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No way home, The actor earned his second Academy Award nomination this year for his role with Jonathan Larson Tick, tick…Boom!. He also recently received an Emmy nomination for playing Detective Jeb Pyre in the limited series under the sky banner. When it comes to acting, there are a lot of different styles, but one of the most controversial is the style of acting. Method actors often embody their roles on and off the camera/stage which can lead to some unfortunate behavior depending on the character they are playing. During a recent interview on WTF with Marc Maron podcast (via Los Angeles Times), Garfield defended the method of acting.

“there [have] There have been a lot of misconceptions about what the method of acting is, I think,” Garfield explained. People still act this way, and it’s not about being one person in the group. It’s really just about living honestly under imagined circumstances, being really nice to the crew at one time, being a normal human being, being able to drop it when you need to and stay in it when you want to stay in it.”

“I’m kind of bothered by the misunderstanding, it kind of bothered me with this idea that ‘acting style is a-and-b-. “No, I don’t think you know what a mod is if you call it b-, or you just worked with someone who claims to be a mod actor who doesn’t actually act at all,” Garfield added. “It’s also very private. I don’t want people to see my toilet pipes. I don’t want them to see how I make sausages.”

Recently, another Marvel actor came out with an opposite approach to acting. Black PantherMartin Freeman criticized the performance style during an episode of off the list podcast (via telegraph), describing it as a “very impractical way of working”. The topic turned to Jim Carrey’s performance in man on the moon In which he played the famous comedian Andy Kaufman. There was even a documentary released called Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond which chronicled Carrey’s journey to becoming Kaufman and the production difficulties his acting style caused.

“For me, and I’m really sure Jim Carrey is a beautiful and intelligent person, but he was the most arrogant, selfish and narcissistic person I’ve ever seen,” Freeman said. “When I was younger, I think it was very common to think that losing yourself completely was the goal [of acting] Because he feels grown up and feels fit. But as I got older, I didn’t look forward to it. To be honest, it is very painful for someone to “lose themselves”. It’s a huge pain in the ass because it’s no longer a craft and a job.”

“The idea that anything in our culture would be celebrated or supported is confusing and misleading,” Freeman added. “You need to stay grounded in reality… It doesn’t mean that you don’t lose yourself in between ‘action’ and ‘cutting,’ but I think the rest is pretty pretentious nonsense. Not professional. Get the job done, do your job. “.
