Andrew Garfield and Ryan Reynolds share a unique and memorable moment at the 2017 Golden Globes. This kiss became a topic of much discussion and laughter among the two actors. In a recent interview for Variety's Actors on Actors series, they opened up about that special encounter.

Recalling the Golden Globes Kiss

When sitting down to chat about their films, the conversation naturally turned to the last time they saw each other - the 2017 Golden Globes. Reynolds recalled, "The last time I saw you was the Golden Globes. Garfield was sitting beside me, and he goes, 'Hey, if they call your name and you win, don't kiss your wife [Blake Lively], just kiss me.'" This lighthearted moment set the tone for their discussion.Garfield added, "I also retrospectively felt a little bit insensitive towards Ryan's moment. But we were just sitting there and were like, 'Ah, let's do it anyways.' And indeed, the Golden Globes cameras only caught the moment in a wide shot from across the room, so viewers didn't notice it until later. It was actually kind of perfect."

The Aftermath and Reactions

Garfield previously opened up about this intimate moment soon after the Golden Globes with Stephen Colbert. When Colbert asked about it, Garfield joked, "I just wanted Ryan to know that I loved him no matter whether he won or lost. It doesn't matter. He showed up. It doesn't change anything in my heart."Reynolds also shared his thoughts, joking, "Nobody actually noticed until later and it was actually kind of perfect." This moment became a part of their shared history and added a touch of humor to their careers.

Love for Each Other's Work

Elsewhere in their conversation, the actors spoke about their admiration for one another's work. Garfield expressed his awe over the "meta-ness" of Deadpool. He recalled, "As soon as [Deadpool & Wolverine] started, I was like, 'There's no way they allowed him to do all of this. How the f— …?' You're the head writer on this film. But I don't know anyone else who's doing it, in terms of peeling back the onion of the self-awareness and meta-ness and also retaining a heart and providing a genuine service to fans while also kind of mocking. The layers of self-mockery are kind of impossible to decipher."Reynolds, in turn, gushed, "We love you in our house and your work and your dedication. You do something that only you can do, and that's a beautiful thing to watch in action."This conversation between Andrew Garfield and Ryan Reynolds showcases their friendship and the special bond they share, as well as their respect for each other's artistic achievements.
