Andrew Garfield brings cardboard cutout of Florence Pugh to 'We Live in Time' red carpet

Fans were delighted by his lighthearted red carpet antics, calling the move "iconic" and "unserious."

Andrew Garfield's appearance at the BFI London Film Festival took an unexpected and humorous turn when he arrived at the red carpet with a unique companion—a cardboard cutout of his We Live in Time co-star Florence Pugh. The playful gesture came as a surprise to fans and attendees alike, as Pugh was unable to attend the event in person due to filming commitments in New Zealand. Rather than walking the red carpet solo, Garfield brought along the cutout of Pugh, dressed as she was at a previous screening of the film in New York, bringing an amusing sense of continuity to the event.

Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate Garfield’s lighthearted approach to the situation. His effortless charisma shone through as he guided the cutout down the red carpet, even placing one arm around its waist as if posing with his real-life co-star. Garfield’s ability to inject humor and charm into what could have been an ordinary solo appearance further endeared him to fans, who called his antics “iconic” and praised him for being “so unserious.”

The cardboard cutout moment, which saw Garfield crouching and posing playfully with the stand-in, rapidly went viral across social media platforms, with many users creating memes and sharing their reactions. One fan joked, “Does Florence know the kind of chaos that erupts in her absence?” while another said, “This is exactly why we love him.”

Garfield’s actions weren’t just about having fun—they also underscored his close bond with Pugh. The two stars have developed a strong camaraderie throughout the filming of We Live in Time, and Garfield’s playful tribute to her absence highlighted their friendship and shared sense of humor. As fans eagerly await the film’s release, Garfield’s quirky red carpet move has only heightened anticipation, making headlines and drawing further attention to the upcoming film. In an industry often dominated by carefully orchestrated red carpet appearances, Garfield’s ability to bring spontaneity and lightheartedness has made him a fan favorite yet again.
