In a new interview, Garfield said his words were taken out of context. He later noted that he was “not a gay man,” which only added to the backlash.
The actor, 33, who’s starring in a London production of “Angels in America,” told a group of people that he prepared for the role by watching “every series of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’,” adding that he is a “gay man right now just without the physical act.” After upsetting the gay community with comments he made during a panel discussion, Andrew Garfield wants to clarify what he meant.
