Andrew Garfield talking to Elmo about grief and missing his mum is the loveliest thing you’ll watch today and very possibly all year
A video of Andrew Garfield talking to Elmo about grief and missing his mum has just gone wildly viral on Twitter for reasons which will become apparent.
The actor’s mother, Lynn, died from pancreatic cancer in 2019 and he was thinking about his mum when Elmo asked how he was doing.
And Garfield’s answer was very moving and very wise, and very possibly the loveliest ting you’ll watch all year. Better get your hanky ready …
Elmo is here to listen. Elmo loves you, Mr. Andrew Garfield! ❤️ #EmotionalWellBeing pic.twitter.com/rW86tR5Gof

Andrew lost his mom the same month I suddenly lost mine and I’m just living vicariously through everything he says. His understanding of grief and pain is so on point.

He’s exactly the kinda male figure young guys should look up/listen to, not miserable losers like Sneako, Tate or Adin Ross

This is wonderful. In our house we’ve had lots of chat about this clip. It gives language for such hard things – from the loss of my parents to our family pet. https://t.co/iePsQjsWfU
