Andrew Garfield’s Robin Hood Movie Crashes at Box Office Despite Low Budget
- On Thursday, at a Los Angeles screening of his new film 'The Uprising,' actor Andrew Garfield faced backlash after telling an audience he hopes 'if any billionaires watch it, they're scared sh--less.'
- Directed by Paul Greengrass, 'The Uprising' depicts England's 1381 Peasants' Revolt, set after the Black Death when King Richard's court levied heavy taxes to fund the Hundred Years' War, pushing commoners to a breaking point.
- Critics on social media labeled the remarks hypocritical, with Substack columnist John William Sherrod posting, 'Hilarious that world-famous, multi, multi millionaire Andrew Garfield is cosplaying as a put upon member of the working class.'
- Garfield's recent compensation drew scrutiny, as critics noted he was paid $5M to portray billionaire Sam Altman in 'Artificial,' sparking accusations of irony regarding his wealth commentary.
- Neither Garfield nor Greengrass responded to requests for comment, while Rick Davis, an associate pastor at Providence Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, claimed the actor's comments sounded like 'socialist garbage.
