Andrew Garfield says he once thought Sam Altman could be his “future best friend”

At a screening Q&A reported by Variety, Garfield recalled admiring Altman’s congressional testimony and thinking he could be “my future best friend.” The “Artificial” star said Altman convinced him he was “nothing but purely altruistic,” but stopped short of directly criticizing him. That imagined friendship had one small logistical snag: Garfield says he has never seen Altman in person.
