Why? Apparently, Andrew Garfield just wasn’t… “handsome enough.” “I was so desperate,” Garfield spilled to Entertainment Tonight. “I auditioned for Prince Caspian and thought, ‘This could be it.’” Spoiler: it wasn’t. The role slipped through his fingers and landed in the lap of Ben Barnes.
Obsessed with understanding the “why,” Garfield couldn’t let it go. He pestered his agent until she finally cracked. Her reply? Brutal honesty. “It’s because they don’t think you’re handsome enough, Andrew.” Oof. Talk about a dagger to the ego.
But in true Garfield fashion, he handled it like a pro. “Ben Barnes is a very handsome, talented man,” he admitted. “In retrospect, I’m not unhappy with the decision, and I think he did a beautiful job.” No shade, just pure class.
