On Friday, Andrew Garfield, the Oscar-nominated actor, made his long-awaited appearance on Amelia Dimoldenberg ’s YouTube series “Chicken Shop Date,” where interviews take place in a London chicken shop. This episode comes two years after their first meeting, which excited fans online.
Their connection began two years ago during a flirty moment on the red carpet at the 2022 British GQ Men of the Year party, a moment that quickly went viral. They reunited at the Golden Globes in January 2023, where their playful banter and flirtation only heightened online interest. Garfield humorously remarked that he couldn’t come on her show for a “date” because he was “scared of what it could turn into.”
During their conversation, Garfield and Dimoldenberg balanced the playful nature of the show with their undeniable chemistry, filled with laughter throughout. At one point, Dimoldenberg teased Garfield, saying, “I think that we… There’s something going on. You’ve been avoiding me for two years because the vibes are too much for you to handle.”
Garfield acknowledged their “couple of lovely interactions” and expressed that he truly believes they could have gone on a real date if not for the setting of her show. “If you remove all the practicalities and logic,” he said, “I really think we could have.”
The undeniable chemistry between Garfield and Dimoldenberg has sparked considerable interest online, especially after several of their flirtatious moments went viral.
Dimoldenberg has gained millions of views for her interviews with a wide range of celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence, Billie Eilish, and Jack Harlow. She’s known for her unique comedic style, turning awkward situations into captivating and delightful conversations.
While the show’s format may come off as a playful “date,” it’s understandable that Garfield chose this moment to appear, coinciding with the promotion of his latest film, “We Live in Time.”
Despite the lighthearted setting, the actor seems open to the possibility of a genuine romantic connection with Dimoldenberg . By the end of the episode, he suggested that their interview should be seen as “a practice round.” “I think we should do it again,” Garfield said, “and make it better.”
