DUBAI: In a clip that went viral over the weekend, Hollywood actor Andrew Garfield spoke up for Palestinians on Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Garfield, currently promoting his romantic drama “We Live in Time” alongside Florence Pugh, had an extensive conversation with Horowitz at New York’s 92nd Street Y. During Thursday’s podcast interview, Horowitz posed an open-ended question asking if Garfield had any personal needs. Garfield replied by urging people to focus on the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, saying that his personal happiness is more than sufficient. “You know what, out of everyone in the world, I don’t need — I’m so happy,” Garfield said. “Like, we should be putting our energy toward something that actually matters, you know? Yeah, maybe the lives of, I don’t know, Palestinians in Gaza right now. Maybe that’s where we put our hearts and our energy.” The actor continued: “And anyone suffering, anyone oppressed — anyone that is suffering under the weight of the horrors of our world right now. Anyone who doesn’t have a choice in, you know, living lives of dignity. Yeah — that’s where our energy should be going right now.” With his stance on Palestine, Garfield joins the ranks of celebrities who have spoken out against Israel’s continuing onslaught in Gaza for the past year, including Palestinian American models and sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid, Marvel actor Mark Ruffalo, “Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan, and “Wednesday” actress Jenna Ortega.
