Furthermore, Andrew expressed how he feels about his mother absence,noting, "It’s like in the missing and the longing, you actually get closer to the person. It’s a weird thing. As we reach out in grief, we actually fell much closer to the person so it’s this weird conundrum."
Previously when talking about the loss of his mother, Andrew Garfield shared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, "I hope this grief stays with me because it's all the unexpected love that I didn't get to tell her."
