New year, new glasses? Andrew Garfield sent social media into a frenzy after his hot performance at the festival Golden Globes 2025 — but in an unlikely turn of events, it’s his reading glasses.
The British actor (41) appeared alongside Kerry Washington to announce the nominations for best actor in a motion picture — musical/comedy at the ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 5 in Los Angeles, where he donned glasses to better read the teleprompter — and Garfield’s thirst trap made him the first contender for one best friends of the internet the year 2025.
Admittedly, a few things helped sex up this seemingly innocuous moment: Garfield’s dark green Gucci suit looked perfect on him, especially with the matching shirt, which happened to be slightly unbuttoned to reveal a cute pendant. Above all, there’s the fact that Garfield is a man who really knows how to hold eye contact and flirt with the camera – who can forget that iconic Chicken trade date appearance?
Garfield’s special moment immediately caught the attention of Golden Globes viewers on social media, with comments from fans via X including: “I would sign my house to have Andrew Garfield look at me and then put on his glasses,” “ANDREW GARFIELD STOP STARING AT ME LIKE THAT, MOSTLY WITH GLASSES, I CAN’T HANDLE THAT LOOK,” and: “They could make a whole 10 minute video of people lusting after Andrew Garfield just because he’s too good looking, when he puts on his reading glasses.’
Meanwhile, his co-host Washington, 47, unwittingly delivered some beautiful words that were the perfect accompaniment to Garfield’s scene-stealing moment. “A great performance has the power to transport us,” she said We live in time the star slowly slipped on his glasses and adjusted his lapel. “When an actor gets so deeply into a character that we as the audience lose ourselves in their performance, the result is magic, we become enchanted, unable to take our eyes off them.” We sure do!
Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical/Comedy Presented by Garfield and Washington was awarded Demi Moore for her role in Substance. In an emotional acceptance speech, she gushed, “I really wasn’t expecting that, I’m just in shock right now” — which pretty much sums up how we all feel about Garfield and his reading glasses.
But the thing is, Garfield is 41 years old. And no matter how famous and successful you are and how many skyscrapers you have climbed Spider-Manmiddle age can mean only one thing: deteriorating eyesight. So if you’re a millennial or Gen Xer who’s also starting to struggle with the fine print, know that the next time you’re considering using a selfie stick to read a menu at a restaurant, you’ll be in good company—farsightedness even trumps smoldering sexy superheroes.
