Variety@VarietyAndrew Garfield says OpenAI’s Sam Altman seemed "fucking great" before playing him in "Artificial": "I remember seeing Sam testifying to Congress for the first time, way back when. I was like, ‘This guy seems fucking great. He’s honest. He’s transparent. He’s talking about regulation, and he has no stake in OpenAI. We need more of these people in control. He’s incredibly charming and charismatic.’ And then you learn more about a person." https://variety.com/2026/film/news/andrew-garfield-sam-altman-movie-artificial-nyff-premiere-luca-guadagnino-1236894719/24m
