In the latest issue of Closer, Andrew Garfield evokes with emotion the death of his mother, in 2019, from pancreatic cancer.
It’s time for confidence, for British-American actor Andrew Garfield. In the latest issue of Closeravailable on newsstands this Friday, May 13, the 38-year-old artist evokes with emotion what he considers to be “greatest loss” he never experienced: the death of his mother in 2019, from pancreatic cancer. “Even today, I try to manage it, to understand how to get through it. My mother battled pancreatic cancer for a year. It was really hard. It was really difficult for her.“
At the time, the interpreter of “awesome“Spider-Man was about to start filming the biopic In the eyes of Tammy Fayealongside Jessica Chastain, and remembers having set a condition before even signing: “I remember telling producers, ‘If I get the call to go home, I’m going home and I don’t care what it costs the production.’ confides the actor. When my father called me, they stopped production for ten days, then two weeks. And I stayed with my mother for the last ten days of her life.”
“Those were the best ten days of my life”
If say goodbye to the one who him “transmitted the taste for nature and poetry“was one of the most difficult ordeals of her life, Andrew Garfield keeps, paradoxically, a precious memory of her last days with her. “Those were the best ten days of my life, because, for me, it was a real privilege to be with her until she died.” A privilege that gave him wings. Shortly after the death of his mother, Andrew Garfield shot the musical Tick, Tick… Boomwhich earned him a second Oscar nomination two years later.
