Andrew Garfield Talks About the DoorDash Incident That Helped Blow His SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Cover
One of the earliest reports of Andrew Garfield possibly being in Spider-Man: No Way Home came from a DoorDash delivery guy who delivered food to Garfield while he was staying in Atlanta during the film’s production.
The guy who delivered the food said that Garfield was rude to him, but now Garfield has shared his side of the story about how everything went down. He shared on a recent episode of Happy Sad Confused with Josh Horowitz:
"This is my first night in Atlanta, and I'm with two of my best friends, one of whom is on The Walking Dead, which shoots out there. And we're out at in the house that they're putting me up in, and I ordered takeout for us, and COVID is high, and I order food. It's literally my first night there, and it's great. I get to wear a mask everywhere. I get to wear a hat. Nobody's ever going to know I'm here, and I'm going to really be low-key and whatnot.
"So the guy comes to the door, the delivery guy -- sweet seeming guy, nice seeming dude -- and I open the door, I've got my mask on, my hat, and I'm like, 'Thanks, man.' And he's like, yo, yo, yo, I need to see your ID. And I'm like 'Huh?' He's like, 'I need to see your ID.' And I'm like, 'No delivery food thing has ever asked me for my ID. This is interesting.' And by the way, he's like, kind of like really close to the door, and at this point, I'm super like, I've got to go to set tomorrow. I don't want to risk shutting down a Marvel set in the middle of a pandemic. So I'm just like, 'Sure, just one second. Would you mind just like stepping a few feet back because of COVID and everything,' and he does. I'm like, 'Sorry, man, why do you need my ID?' 'So I can check that it's you.' First of all, my DoorDash account is not my name. And he's like, 'Yeah, 'cause you got alcohol.' And I'm like, 'No, I didn't get alcohol. I didn't get any alcohol, man. I got some tacos.'"
Garfield went on to say that his friend Trevor to come out and showed his ID to help diffuse the situation. But then the delivery driver shared his experience on social media. In regards to that, Garfield went on to say:
"Lo and behold the guy goes, 'I just I think I just delivered food to Andrew Garfield,' and I think he called me rude, which I definitely wasn't. I did ask to do social distancing, but I obviously upset the man and I didn't mean to and I apologize for anything that may have been misconstrued as being rude. I don't like upsetting people, but it just became this whole thing, and then I think he got in trouble. I don't know, whatever. But wherever you are, I know what you were up to. You were being sneaky, and you gave me a good challenge that night."
At least Garfield has a fun and playful attitude about it. I can totally understand that he would want to keep his privacy, though!
