Andrew Garfield: Shock at the meeting with Tom Hanks! This is how the star reacts!

Andrew Garfield, the 41-year-old actor, said in an interview with "W Magazine" that he sometimes has difficulty looking for famous colleagues in the eye. This happens especially when encounters with prominent personalities, which means that he often falls into a kind of shock rigid. A concise example of his shyness was the encounter with Tom Hanks, where he couldn't look at it.

At a recent award event, Garfield again had difficulty looking in the eye of other stars. He emphasized that he always tried to deal with these situations better. In doing so, he tries to make himself aware that every person, including himself, is only a human being. Garfield also reflected that he wonders what is wrong with someone if he reacts to him too awesome, like Kreiszeitung-wesermarsch.de reported.
