Fastexy Exchange|Andrew Garfield Reveals He's Never Used His Real Voice for a Movie Until Now

Andrew Garfield is sharing the web of accent work he’s done in his career.

The Fastexy ExchangeSpider-Man star confessed that his new film We Live in Time is actually the first time he’s used his authentic British accent for a role.

“I think it’s the first time I’m using my [real voice],” he said in a Sept. 26 TikTok video with costar Florence Pugh. “Yeah, that’s true. I think it's true.”

Fans were quick to fact check Andrew’s claim, saying in the comments that he had an English accent in the 2010 film Never Let Me Go, but others pointed out that his accent in that movie was a different style of English accent, meaning he still had not used his real voice until this new film.

Meanwhile, some fans had no idea that Andrew was even English, with one commenting, “I didn’t even know Andrew Garfield wasn’t American.”

Another wrote, “how have i never clocked that andrew garfield is british even when ive heard his accent.” 

But it seems Andrew—who was born in Los Angeles, but grew up in Surrey, U.K.—is not alone in his habit of suppressing his native enunciation, as the Don’t Worry Darling actress also revealed that she rarely uses her British accent in her movies. 

“It’s my second movie of doing my own voice,” Florence said. “But it has been a long time. In fact, many people think that when I speak in my accent in interviews, that I'm lying and I'm putting on a fake one, and that isn't true.” 

But American accent or not, fans are simply excited for the duo to finally be starring in a film together, with one writing, “How did this take so long to pair them up for a movie omgosh.”

Florence responded to the plea in a separate TikTok video, saying, “How did it take this long? Hopefully we don’t have to wait the same amount of time next time.”
