On Friday, Oscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield made his long-awaited appearance on Amelia Dimoldenberg’s latest episode of “Chicken Shop Date,” her popular YouTube interview series that unfolds over a meal at a local chicken shop in London.

Their conversation comes two years after a memorable first meeting that set the internet abuzz, and this new chat definitely lives up to the excitement. Garfield and Dimoldenberg balanced the show’s playful format with their undeniable chemistry, sharing plenty of laughter along the way.

“I think there’s definitely something between us,” Dimoldenberg remarked to Garfield in the clip. “It’s almost like you’ve been avoiding me for two years because you can’t handle the vibes.”

Acknowledging their “lovely interactions,” Garfield expressed that he genuinely believes they could have gone on a real date “if it weren’t for” the setting of her show.

“Strip away the practicalities and logic,” he said. “I honestly think that, maybe, we could’ve” had a real date off camera.

The undeniable chemistry between Garfield and Dimoldenberg has sparked a frenzy online, especially after clips of their flirtatious exchanges went viral.

Their connection reportedly began two years ago at the 2022 British GQ Men of the Year party, where their playful encounter was caught on camera. They reunited at the January 2023 Golden Globes, sharing laughs and flirtation that only intensified online interest when Garfield joked about being “scared” to come on her show for a “date” due to what it might lead to.

Dimoldenberg has garnered millions of views for her interviews with stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Billie Eilish, and Jack Harlow, known for her knack for turning awkward moments into engaging conversations.

While the show’s format might seem gimmicky, it’s clear Garfield chose this moment to appear while promoting his latest film, “We Live in Time.” Yet, he seems open to the idea of a genuine romantic connection with Dimoldenberg.

By the end of Friday’s episode, Garfield suggested they consider the interview a “practice round.”

“I think we should do it again,” he said. “And make it even better.”
