Chappell Roan can add Andrew Garfield to her ever-growing list of fans.
The Oscar-nominated actor spoke with MTV U.K. alongside Florence Pugh tied to their film, We Live in Time. When Pugh was asked who Garfield’s favorite artist was or someone he’d be caught listening to, she immediately said Roan.
“I’ve been talking about it for the last 48 hours,” he said, before noting she has too many great songs he counts as his favorite. “‘Red Wine Supernova’ is killing me. ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ You know, ‘Pink Pony Club,’ obviously. ‘HOT TO GO!’ obviously.”
He cited “After Midnight” and “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl” as other songs he loves on The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
“Honestly, that whole album I’m just listening front to back every morning in the gym,” Garfield continued. “It’s a genius album. Nothing’s come along like this in so long.”
Before moving on to speak about the film, the Spider-Man star took one more moment to praise the way Roan has been establishing limits with people.
“The way she’s like setting boundaries with the world, it’s gonna be really inspiring for people,” he concluded. “Wow, we went deep on Chappell Roan.”
Garfield was seemingly referring to the Grammy-nominated artist’s plea to her fans to stop the “predatory behavior” she has faced since her album was released and she was shot into superstardom.
“For the past 10 years I’ve been going non-stop to build my project and it’s come to the point that I need to draw lines and set boundaries,” she wrote. “I want to be an artist for a very very long time. I’ve been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions and I just need to lay it out and remind you, women don’t owe you shit. I chose this career path because because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”
She continued at the time, “I am specifically talking about predatory behavior (disguised as ‘superfan’ behavior) that has become normalized because of the way women who are well-known have been treated in the past. Please do not assume you know a lot about someone’s life, personality, and boundaries because you are familiar with them or their work online.”
