Published: Oct 21 2025

Emma Stone is spilling the tea on her former flame and The Amazing Spider-Man costar Andrew Garfield's sneaky ways. The Poor Things star confirmed that the 42-year-old actor had been keeping a secret stash from her regarding his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

During a Monday, October 20, episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, host Josh Horowitz asked her if the two-time Academy Awards nominee had managed to keep his secret role in the 2021 Marvel film completely under wraps, even from her. "I asked him if he was going to be in that," the Cruella lead recalled, "and he was like, 'I don't know what you're talking about.'"

She continued, "I was like, 'What? Oh, I guess that means no, right?' But it wasn't no, it was yes." The 36-year-old agreed with the host, saying it showed the actor's "dedication," adding, "I know, good for him. He kept it really close to the vest."

Previously, the After The Hunt actor revealed that Stone jokingly called him "a jerk" when she found out he had lied about his cameo in No Way Home, a secret he kept under lock and key until the film hit theaters.

Garfield made a brief appearance in No Way Home alongside original Spider-Man Tobey Maguire and the franchise's current headliner, Tom Holland. For the uninitiated, the Social Network actor and the Oscar winner dated for four years after meeting on the set of the first Amazing Spider-Man movie, where they played Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy, respectively, before splitting in 2015 and remaining friendly in the years since.

Stone is now married to former Saturday Night Live writer Dave McCary, with whom she shares four-year-old daughter Louise Jean McCary, while Garfield is currently dating A Complete Unknown actress Monica Barbaro.
