Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone recently talked science in an interview with Discover magazine. Stone talked about her interest in biology since playing Gwen Stacy, who she believes is a “role model.” Meanwhile, the Spiderman actor and real-life boyfriend of Stone was dressed in drag for a part in the music video for Arcade Fire’s “We Exist,” which can be seen below!
Emma Stone talked about her growth in interest in biology due to Gwen Stacy, saying “When we first started shooting this movie last year I was talking [about biology] to a guy at Columbia and he sat on the phone with me for three or four hours. I was getting ready to take some classes at Columbia to learn more about what what Gwen does—she’s learning about molecular medicine. It gets pretty intense, and I just have a GED. I was on the phone with him and he was explaining how the brain works. It was so much information, so interesting, but I realized I wasn’t fully understanding at a college level what was happening.”
Garfield said about Peter Parker, “I have reservations about getting out of bed every morning, because what the hell is going on? What is this weird rock that we’re on, floating through the universe? It’s scary out there. Well, then of course you kinda go, ‘Well, I may as well do something. so we may as well tell the Spider-Man story.’ That might be no accident that I’m an incredibly existential, neurotic, terrified person.”
He added, “I think that [director Marc Webb] probably witnessed that and thought Peter Parker would be an appropriate character I need to play. Ultimately you gotta get out of bed and you gotta give yourself to something greater than yourself, and for me right now it’s Spider-Man.”
Andrew Garfield wore a wig and women’s clothing for the latest Arcade Fire music video for their song “We Exist” off of the album “Reflektor.”
The 30-year-old actor stars in the video as a young man who is struggling with his identity. Part of the video was filmed during the band’s live performance at the 2014 Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA last month.
In the end of the video, Andrew steps out and defends his true identity and embraces his future!
