As Andrew Garfield opens up about the death of his late mother, he’s praising his The Eyes of Tammy Faye family for helping him through the loss.

The 2x Oscar nominee recently said he was “really very grateful” for his time on the 2021 Tammy Faye Bakker biopic with co-star Jessica Chastain, who ultimately helped him get home to be with his mother Lynn in her final days before dying of pancreatic cancer.

“What was amazing was that [Searchlight Pictures‘ David Greenbaum] and Jessica rearranged the schedule last-minute — put filming on hold [in North Carolina] for a few days so that I could go back [to England] and be with my mom for 10 days,” Garfield told People.
