Andrew Garfield said he was “terrified” working with Robert Redford while making the 2007 movie “Lions for Lambs.”
During an appearance on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast Tuesday, the “Amazing Spider-Man” star shared what it was like working with Redford on the project.
“I don’t know what I was telling myself. So, first of all, Bob Redford, God rest his beautiful soul of service,” Garfield began.
“So, I say it with love. So, I’m terrified and nervous and pinching myself,” he added.
The “Social Network” actor then claimed Redford showed up to set “four hours late.”
“It’s just like by that time I’m just pissed. I’m just angry,” Garfield remembered.
The two-time Oscar nominee, 43, joked he wasn’t really upset and said that “a lot of the nerves had kind of dissipated.”
“[Redford] was so loose and casual and he was so cool and he still dressed like he was in his 20s with a double denim and he wasn’t aware that he was late,” he shared.
“He was just on his own Redford time and he was famously late. I’m not like telling tales out of school. He was a famously late person.”
Garfield also revealed that the “Indecent Proposal” star would collaborate with him on set while directing.
“He would shoot his own coverage first. He would shoot himself and then he would look at me after his first take and he’d be like, ‘What do you think?’ ‘Cause he was directing as well,” he recalled.
“So all my scenes were with him and he was like, ‘What do you think?’ And I was like, ‘It’s great,'” Garfield shared.
“Lions for Lambs” is an American war drama about the connection between a platoon of US soldiers in Afghanistan, a US senator, a reporter and a Californian college professor.
Last September, a rep for Redford announced that the actor had passed away. He was 89.
“Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah — the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved,” the spokesperson told Page Six at the time.
“He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy.”
Though the “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” star died in his sleep, an official cause of death has not yet been revealed.
