Andrew Garfield has fans doing a double take after his latest appearance on the set of Artificial in San Francisco.
The 41-year-old Spider-Man star looked noticeably different while filming the AI drama alongside Ike Barinholtz and Monica Barbaro.
Garfield takes on the role of tech visionary Sam Altman, with Barinholtz as Elon Musk and Barbaro playing former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati.
But it wasn’t the star-studded cast or romance rumors with Barbaro that stirred chatter—it was Garfield’s altered look that had fans buzzing.
Many are now speculating if the actor underwent cosmetic procedures to achieve his new appearance.
‘They did something real freaky to his face,’ one critic wrote, as another added, ‘Did he get bad botox?’

Yet another chimed in, ‘Did someone edit his face?’ while another posted, ‘I came to the comments to check if I was just crazy. What happened!?’
‘Why does he look yassified,’ one wrote.
‘His whole eye area looks diff,’ said another, while one fan admitted, ‘I’ve never been so unattracted to Andrew Garfield before.’
One summed it up: ‘People are saying it’s because he shaved but no. He looks very pale like he has makeup on? and then a facelift maybe? But that’s insane if he did that.”
The critic then made a robot reference, saying, ‘It’s giving uncanny valley and I feel bad judging but there is SOMETHING not right. We’ve all taken bad photos so I’m praying that’s all it is’
One simply said, ‘He looks artificial.’
Of course, some fans thought the actor looked incredible, with one writing, ‘Andrew Garfield still looks 24 when he’s actually 42 is an enigma to me.’
The viral uproar comes after Garfield and Babar confirmed their romance as they joined the likes of Lily Collins and Poppy Delevingne at day seven of Wimbledon in July.
