Andrew Garfield claims he is a “gay man without the physical act”.
The 33-year-old actor is portraying a character who struggles between his Jewish faith and homosexuality in play Angels in America and his research for the role, which included binge watching RuPaul’s Drag Race has been all-consuming.
According to OUT, he said during a panel discussion about the production: “Every Sunday I would have eight friends over and we would just watch Ru. I mean every single series of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I mean every series. This is my life outside of this play. I am a gay man right now just without the physical act — that’s all.”
However, the Amazing Spider-Man star — who was previously in a relationship with actress Emma Stone — went on to insist he is “not a gay man”, but won’t rule out embarking on a same-sex relationship in the future.
