Andrew Garfield Tears Up About His Mother’s Death in Heartfelt ‘Sesame Street’ Appearance

Andrew Garfield recently engaged in a touching conversation on Sesame Street with Elmo about the passing of his mother, Lynn, who succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2019. Garfield opened up, explaining to Elmo that feeling sad when missing someone is natural—a kind of gift that signifies deep love for the person. This conversation touched fans deeply, with many moved by the wisdom the 41-year-old actor imparted, explaining that the sadness of missing someone is intertwined with the happy memories shared with them.

During his chat on Sesame Street on October 18, Garfield explained how remembering the joyful moments, such as hugs and cuddles, can bring a sense of closeness with his mother, allowing him both to honor and miss her simultaneously. Elmo expressed his appreciation for Garfield's insight, and fans also responded emotionally to this heartfelt display.

Garfield's openness about loss reflects his personal journey through grief, influenced by his mother's death while he was filming The Eyes of Tammy Faye in 2019. Despite his mother encouraging him to continue the production, he chose to spend her final moments with her in England, sharing with Variety the tension between professional duties and personal loss.

Parallelly, Garfield delved into similar themes of loss and love in his movie, We Live in Time, in which he portrays Tobias, paired with Florence Pugh as Almut, a rising chef dealing with ovarian cancer. Through a non-linear narrative, the film unfolds their life together, exploring themes of love, family, and facing terminal illness, echoing Garfield’s understanding of celebrating and mourning the love and loss of cherished relationships.
