Andrew Garfield is coming to the defense of a controversial acting technique known as “The Method.” The technique, which asks actors to completely inhabit a role both physically and emotionally, frequently makes headlines as prominent actors such as Daniel Day Lewis have gone to extreme lengths to become a character they are portraying. “I’m kind of bothered by the misconception, I’m kind of bothered by this idea that ‘method acting is bullshit,'” Garfield said in a new episode of the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast. “It’s like, no I don’t think you know what method acting is if you’re calling it bullshit, or you’ve just worked with someone who claims to be a method actor but who actually isn’t acting in the method at all.” READ MORE: Andrew Garfield Praises Zendaya’s ‘Human’ Acting In ‘Euphoria’, Recalls Working On ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Garfield continued, “People are still acting in that way, and it’s not about being an arsehole to everyone on set.
