Did Andrew Garfield dump his TV Girl-friend because he got more famous?

I know barely anyone cares about him, but much like my Michael Fassbender obsession, you bitches will come around to Andrew Garfield. He’s tall, he’s lanky, he’s kind of awkward, and he’s got some kind of geeky sex appeal that is like catnip to me. Plus, I had that dream about him. I’ve referenced my sex dream about Andrew Garfield before, and I don’t want to get into all of the gory, magnificent details, suffice to say that as my dream lover, Andrew Garfield is crazy erotic. Isn’t it amazing what a really powerful, lucid, erotic fever-dream can do? It can make you see people in completely different ways.

So this news is kind of good for me, I guess. According to Us Weekly, Andrew and his girlfriend of three years have split up. The girl is Shannon Woodward, and I only really know her from her supporting part on Raising Hope (she plays the cashier girl).

Andrew Garfield has changed his relationship status to single.

The 27-year-old Social Network star has broken up with Raising Hope actress Shannon Woodward, his girlfriend since 2008, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm. What went wrong?

One insider explains that the British actor and Woodward, 26, became estranged as he “got deeper into filming The Amazing Spider-Man; he literally never saw her.”

The insider adds that Woodward is “telling people they’re on a break… [but] they haven’t spoken to each other in weeks.”

Sidenote: My mother recently rented The Social Network, and I was all hyped up for her to see Andrew Garfield, so I was really giving her the hard sell on him. After she watched it, she was all “That Armie Hammer is really handsome, isn’t he?” I was all “Mah-OM! You were supposed to pay attention to Andrew Garfield!” Mom: “Who?”

Back to the topic: Lainey thinks that now that Andrew is single, the studio will probably try to set him with some eligible young thing, preferably American (the American part is my theory). Lainey suggests Dianna Agron, but meh on that. She’s like a wet paper towel. I wouldn’t mind him with his Spiderman costar Emma Stone. I could also see him with Evan Rachel Wood, but only if it was a brief fling (she’s too strange for a long-term relationship). Ooooooh, how about Mila Kunis?!?! Wouldn’t that piss off Justin Timberlake?!?

Here’s my one-liner joke/caption: “Andrew Garfield is single and ready to mingle.”

More photos from the New York set of The Amazing Spiderman. Did you know Rhys Ifans is in it? AND Martin Sheen? It’s going to be better than people expect.

    That’s how it goes in LA.

  2. RocketMerry says:

    Yeah, he’s absolutely cute. And I’m totally adoring his “geeky bromance” with Jesse Eisenberg. Man, they’re both fascinating young men!

  3. lucy2 says:

    I don’t find him remotely attractive.
    I didn’t realize they were dating – I love Shannon on Raising Hope (and she’s much prettier than that photo shows).

  4. Hazel says:

    Yay! Not that I have a chance in Hell, but yay.

  5. Dhavy says:

    He’s too fug to even put him in the same sentence with Mila & Emma

  6. CG says:

    I have major Andrew Garfield love too! He was ridiculously hot in The Social Network (of course, so was Armie Hammer, your mom’s right!). How he didn’t get nominated for an Oscar for that is beyond me. I hope the studio doesn’t hook him up with some big-boobed moron though.

  7. merski says:

    I think he’s SO HOT, but he doesn’t photograph well at all! It’s kind of weird. I’ve seen a few movies with him already and he is always so good looking and charming. So strange that it doesn’t show in photograpghs at all.

  8. chris says:

    I don’t get the hype.

  9. Isa says:

    Who the h*ll is Andrew Garfield??

  10. louise says:

    I don’t think he’s good looking at all. I can’t stand the shape of his head.

  11. xxodettexx says:

    i dont think he’s “hot” but i do see the geeky cute appeal! 🙂

  12. truetalk says:

    I think he’s hot in a “he be a sensitive and caring boyfriend” type of way.

  13. Jackie says:

    He looks just like that girl from The Secret Life of the American Teenager!

  14. CT says:

    Andrew Garfield doesn’t do it for me in stills, but in motion he is SEX.

  15. mln76 says:

    He’s actually my real life type(geeky/skinny/odd) so I think he’s cute. But as far as movie-star crushes he’s not in the Fassbender/Idris hottness realm.

  16. Helen says:

    Now that he’s single, all you bitches will have to get by ME first to get to him!

    Seriously now, he’s so beautiful it hurts! It’s the awkwardness and the lankiness that make him so attractive. Also, boy can ACT! Have you seen Never Let Me Go? You should!! 🙂

  17. Brittney says:

    This is why I love you, Kaiser. A good portion of my celebrity/real-life crushes have been based on sex dreams that came completely out of nowhere… and that I can never quite shake.

    The same, unfortunately for my boyfriend, goes for dreams in which people become unexpected villains.

  18. almond says:

    If we’re talking about celebrity sex dreams, then I’ll throw in some Rufus Sewell. After that particular oniric adventure I started looking at him in a really interesting light.

    As for Garfield, he doesn’t really do it for me; he looks too much like a kid. But I have a feeling that if I have a kinky dream of him I’ll change my tune. Until then I’ll stick with Rufus. God, he was rugged!

  19. Rosi says:

    stupid, she is so pretty and I love her character in raising hope. I’m sure that she is as sweet in real life. :-/

  20. klimp says:

    sometimes i find him odd looking but generally i fancy him, quite a lot. im into that slim lanky thing, plus i think he looks a bit like my boyfriend, altough i may be deluded.

  21. weetiger3 says:

    Sorry, I don’t get the appeal and I don’t think I’ll come around like so many did to your Fassbender obsession. Speaking of MF, I wish it was still like 2007 when only those of us who’d seen ‘300’ 47 x because of our obsession with another shared love, Gerard Butler, knew who he was. Of course I then sought out his ‘back catalog’ and have been completely hooked ever since. I wrote about Hunger 2 yrs ago and lobbied hard for a US release of Fish Tank. I even sat thru Jonah Hex just for him. Unfortunately since Tarantino gave him a job and now that he’s going to be in a comic book movie (albeit a classy Matthew Vaughn directed comic book movie) the world will embrace him. I don’t want to share!
    ok, rant over. Sorry for hijacking.

  22. bluhare says:

    Kaiser, you can have him. And i’ll take Clive Owen. YOU CAN’T HAVE THEM ALL!!!

  23. RocketMerry says:

    @klimp
    WOW! That is your boyfriend?! Uncanny, he totally looks like Andrew Garfield! Well, maybe it’s that angle. But still!

  24. tanya says:

    Didn’t Justin Long do the same thing when he started to get more famous? Garfield is a better actor though, and seems to have a bright future ahead. Still, this gives me a case of the sads – not that I know any of the specifics involved in the deterioration of their relationship and therefore shouldn’t judge. They did look very sweet together, however.

    p.s. @klimp: Your BF is a cutie! Nice pic! 🙂

  25. Brittany says:

    Oh yeah, he is hot.

    And it’s always the tall, lanky ones who have the giant dongs… 🙂

  26. Eve says:

    Maybe he had that dream about you too, Kaiser. With reversed positions. Or not.

  27. jinni says:

    klimp:
    I think your boyfriend looks like a hotter version of the guy that plays the lead in “Dexter”.

    Andrew isn’t really cute. Something about him reminds me of Jimmy Stewart, maybe it’s because both of them remind me of chickens. Plus he got that Christian Bale “slit for a mouth” thing going on, which I don’t find appealing.

  28. Milesahead says:

    Hey, weetiger3, I’m with you on Fassbender, but I guess a man that talented, beautiful, and professional, will get noticed by Hollywood bigwigs and the mainstream sooner or later. I’ve noticed how deep Michael’s internet following is already. I think it’s really jumped in the last 5 months. There are a number of blogs, fan-sites and Tumblr photo-sites dedicated to him, even though when I drop his name to my friends, they don’t know who the hell he is..but maybe despite all the high-profile work and acclaim, which he so deserves, he may conduct his personal life like Viggo or Daniel Day Lewis, always staying focused on the WORK not the celebrity-thing. I love talking about him, that’s why I’m here, but I’m not interested in who he dates. For Michael’s sake, he will left alone by fans and admirers and will still be able to move about as he pleases. This seems to be what he wants. Brando once said that when he got famous he could no longer go to a coffee-shop in Manhattan and just watch people, something that he always loved to do. This kind of interaction with people is what keeps you grounded in reality.

    I love Shannon. I remember her from the short-lived (but awesome) show, The Riches. She really is very pretty.

    Side note, if you haven’t seen The Riches, it is freaking hilarious. Eddie Izzard (my fav!) and Minnie Driver and their gypsy-like, con-artist family take over the identities of a dead man and move into his enormous mansion. It’s pretty ridiculous. I’m just sorry the writer’s strike ended up killing the show…

  30. Sara says:

    I would like to date Jesse, not him.
    But c’mon 3 years is a life,… if they continue this romance they problaly will be married someday.

    I think he just want to kiss another girl while he is filming in New York, and he just don’t want to cheat her girlfriend. So they broke up.

  31. Solveig says:

    What is he doing on the set of the Amazing Spiderman? What is the Amazing Spiderman? Another movie of that awful series? I’m totally dismayed by this news.

  32. klimp says:

    @rocketmerry @tankya

    thanks!

    i know it not a great photo for comparison since it covers his jawline but I dont think its just the angle.

  33. S says:

    He’s so lovely! *gurgles* He’s so, so my type (well, one of my types at least…I have a few). He definitely doesn’t photograph as well as he looks on film. Kind of like Anne Hathaway.

  34. Danni says:

    Oh, please don’t go quoting ‘Lainey’…I live in Vancouver and that b*tch has got issues. I’m not kidding. Really, I’m not.

  35. Izzards Chick says:

    She was the BEST in The Riches! Eddie Izzard is King…just sayin’

  36. padiddle says:

    1. I’ve been obsessed with him since Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

    2. His ex-girl is bffs with Katy Perry. Reason enough to dump her – who would want to be around KP all the time? ;p
