Rom-com lovers, celebrity gossip fiends, people who love to eavesdrop on a really good first date at a bar — today is for you. Andrew Garfield finally went on Chicken Shop Date. After CSD host Amelia Dimoldenberg’s two internet-breaking red-carpet interviews with Garfield, the pair finally sat down for some chicken nuggets and good ol’ fashioned flirting.
Considering the fact that people have been demanding this happen for two years — sparks first flew between these two on the red carpet at a GQ event — it could’ve been a major letdown. Expectations were high, and I’m happy to report that these two have given us one of the best CSD videos ever. The real-life chemistry is palpable, and Garfield, unlike some of Dimoldenberg’s other guests, is genuinely intrigued by both the format and his host.
When Dimoldenberg tells him that she is no stranger to asking people out (both in the chicken shop and the outside world), he affirms her. “I think that’s sexy. I think that’s really hot,” he says. He tells her that she’s funny, and when she tells him the same he says, “You’re funnier, that’s a quality I really appreciate in you.” Are you swooning?
Garfield’s big move comes about halfway through the episode, when he gestures to all the film equipment and asks, “If this wasn’t here, do you think we’d actually go on a date? Do you think this is fucked up, the fact that we could’ve actually gone on a date at some point? Maybe. I actually believe, maybe, we could’ve.” That high-pitched sound you just heard was actually every romance writer alive getting the exact same idea for their next book.
What could possibly be next for these two? Garfield is newly single, so that bodes well. I think ideally I’d like to see them do this every ten years, Before Sunrise style. That way they can’t give us too much of what we want — that wouldn’t be very sexy.
