I'm Andrew Garfield.
And I'm Florence Pugh.
And this is the Wired Autocomplete interview.
Well done.
I helped you.
You heard it here first.
This has been an incredible day of exclusives.
Thank you.
What did Florence Pugh see in Midsommar?
Oh, what did I see?
Yeah, what are you looking at?
So I have a different version to Ari, the director.
The idea is that she's now gone through a psychotic break.
From the moment she chooses, I believe, accidentally, Christian,
her boyfriend, to get burnt, she keeps on waking up
and going back into this, like, psychotic break.
And when that moment at the end happens, where everything
is going up in flames, I try to embody what I was like
when I was five on Bonfire Night.
And just how exciting it was to see flames.
And I wanted to revert back to a very, very small
and simple life of how simple things made and make children feel.
Because in that moment, I presumed that she wasn't there anymore.
What does Florence Pugh take in the wonder?
Oh, a form of heroin, like opiates.
And it's supposed to, yeah, you have like a similar high
and she just feels great and groovy.
These are cool questions.
These are interesting things to get to the bottom of.
What knife does Florence Pugh use?
Oh, you gave me a lovely knife.
I did give you a nice knife.
Knife.
I use mainly Japanese knives because I just think that they are
the prettiest to hold.
They are the daintiest to use and they're bloody sharp.
So you have to be really careful.
I've got loads of scars on my fingers.
You've been cutting yourself up.
I've been cutting myself, burnt myself recently.
I was wondering about that.
I burnt myself on a pan because I was making pasta.
Blink twice if you need rescuing.
No, that was to myself.
So I'll blink four times.
OK, OK.
And then you have a psychotic break.
Where is Florence Pugh's accent from?
I mean, I grew up in the country.
Yeah, I grew up in Oxford in the countryside.
The country bumpkin does every now and then come out
when I talk to my old friends.
It's a nice voice. It's a nice accent.
I think we can all agree.
I don't think anyone should disagree with that.
They call this the stupid era, the witching hour,
where someone starts to go a little bit mad.
That's me right now.
Do you know what you're doing?
Yeah.
What is Andrew Garfield's best movie?
I can't answer that.
You have to. It's a game.
We can't leave until you answer that question.
We cannot go to our own premiere until you answer this question.
Answer the question!
OK, well, I mean, objectively, or like how much money a movie made?
Literally, answer the question.
What is Andrew Garfield's best ever, ever, ever, ever, ever movie?
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever?
I'm going to say I really love We Live in Time.
I think it's a great film and I'm really excited to present it, to give it to the world.
But that's not what people would have.
That's not what people would have Googled.
I don't know. It's a subject. It's impossible to answer.
It's a subjective thing.
I don't know.
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Do it.
That is an obtuse reference.
That doesn't quite make sense.
But I liked it.
Do you not think it's Network?
The Paddy Chayefsky, Sidney Lumet film, Network.
I think it would be.
No, no. Do you not? I think that might be.
Oh, Social Network, I think. Like, yeah, let's let's like.
I love that film.
And I think a lot of. Yeah, you do.
But I really also like Tic-Tac-Boo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hacksaw Ridge and Spider-Man.
So you're amazing is what you're saying.
No, no, I just I love I love.
I'm very lucky that I've loved the films I've made.
When will Andrew Garfield be Spider-Man again?
Oh, I know. Right. I don't know.
Ah. Ah.
I don't know. I don't I don't know if ever. It's possible.
Never. It's possible. Maybe at some point.
Don't I know. You'll get it.
No, that was Acidburn.
Oh, I'm joking.
What if Andrew Garfield was in Civil War?
That is such an impossible.
That's yeah. What if man?
What if whoever is asked that?
What if?
Are Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire friends?
Yeah, I'd say so. Friendly. Yeah, for sure.
I love Tobey. I think he's great.
And we we have a nice a nice friendship.
Ah, we're back.
Wow. My name is so many times on that.
Pew. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
I think that's the first question.
How do you pronounce Florence Pew's last name?
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
Or like a pew, like a church pew.
Pew.
How do you really pronounce it though?
Pew.
Yeah, it's...
Be honest, finally.
It's pew, but with a p.
Be honest, finally.
Alright, it's pudge.
We'll be right back, we're back.

Florence Pugh, we live in time?
Go ahead.
You know what guys?
This has been on my mind for a really long time and I've been wanting to get this off
my chest and I'm so glad that we're all here in this room.
The light is on, the mics are on because I guess, for me, I wish that I lived in soup.
You heard it here first.
This has been an incredible day of exclusives.
I think it's about to get even better.
Is Florence Pugh going to be in another Marvel movie?
I mean yes, right?
We all know that.
Yes, yes.
That was an easy one.
Yep.
Oh no.
Oh shit.
We're back.
Oh, you've only got three questions.
Yeah, because people aren't that interested in my life.
Or maybe everybody knows stuff about you.
I did this before, so I think we had to, anyway.
Andrew Garfield, why doesn't, oh, this already sounds mean.
Why doesn't Andrew Garfield smile ever?
Joking!
I'm social media.
Oh God, how long you got?
Go on.
I think I just, I'm of the generation, I'm like a, what's it called?
I'm like geriatric millennial.
I grew up without internet and social media for the most part, and then I was part of
the transition when I was like mid-teen, like late teens.
And so I think I just, I'm scared of it.
I think rightly so.
I think it's like, it's proving out now that there's, but some people like can deal with
it really well.
I think you deal with it incredibly well and you hold on to yourself and you have boundaries
with it.

scary for her.
It was a bit more dangerous back then.
And she was like, I want to raise my kids near their grandparents.
