One of the highlights of the interview was when Garfield expressed his genuine happiness for Tom Holland, the actor who took over the role of Spider-Man after Garfield’s departure. Garfield admitted that initially, he struggled with the attention and visibility that came with playing such an iconic character. However, he has since moved on and is thrilled to see another British actor taking on the role.
The conversation shifted to Garfield’s new film, “Breathe,” in which he plays real-life figure Robin Cavendish. The film tells the remarkable story of Cavendish, who, after being paralyzed from the neck down due to polio, decides to live outside the confines of a hospital or institution. Cavendish and his wife, Diana, challenge conventions and take incredible risks to live a fulfilling life despite his physical limitations.
In discussing the film, Garfield mentioned how he and his co-stars, including Claire Foy, kept the mood light between takes by playing a game called “The Game of Giddiness and Freedom.” This game encouraged them to speak without thinking, allowing for truth and humor to emerge spontaneously.
Overall, Garfield’s appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show was full of lively banter and genuine moments. His openness about his experience as Spider-Man and his excitement for Tom Holland‘s success showcased his humility and authenticity. Additionally, his portrayal of Robin Cavendish in “Breathe” promises to be a powerful and inspiring performance.
