Andrew Garfield Talks Weight Loss

Andrew Garfield recently spoke to E!'s Marc Malkin about losing 40 pounds for his role in the new movie Silence. Here's what he had to say:

"It's not fun. But ultimately [it's] very very satisfying and fulfilling. You learn a lot of information from emptying out."

On his appearance being startling in the movie:
"I think it has to be. It's the truth of what these guys would have gone through."

On going on a silent retreat in Wales to prepare for the role:
"It's a wonderful thing. Just after about three days everything shifts. Your central nervous system just kind of settles down and it becomes normal. You go into all these meditation and prayer rooms and the quiet in there is the loudest think you've ever fucking heard. It's crazy. You literally go in there and your ears start ringing. it's the purest silence that you could know. I've done a few of these things in the past on my personal time. I love all this spiritual exploration stuff. I'm fascinated by it."
