New Delhi, Oct 22 : Emma Stone has opened up about being completely fooled by her ex-boyfriend and The Amazing Spider Man co star Andrew Garfield regarding his surprise appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast alongside her Bugonia co-star Jesse Plemons, Stone recalled how Garfield lied even to her to keep his cameo under wraps. “I asked him if he was going to be in that movie, and he was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’” she said. “I thought, okay, maybe that means no. But it wasn’t no. It was yes!”
Fans were thrilled when Garfield made a surprise return alongside Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland, with no one including Stone aware of his secret involvement. Stone admitted the secrecy left her both confused and amused. “Good for him. He kept it really close to the vest,” she added.
Back in 2022, Garfield had shared that Stone persistently texted him, trying to uncover the truth. “Emma kept on asking me, ‘Are you in this new Spider-Man film?’ And I kept replying, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’” he said. Garfield recalled her reaction upon seeing the cameo: “She was like, ‘You’re a jerk,’” he laughed.
Stone and Garfield first met on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012, portraying Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. Their on-screen romance blossomed into a real life relationship that lasted about four years before they split in 2015. Despite the breakup, they have maintained a strong friendship.
Currently, Emma Stone is married to writer director Dave McCary, and the couple shares a four year old daughter, Louise Jean. Garfield, meanwhile, is dating actress Monica Barbaro, set to star in the upcoming film A Complete Unknown.
