OHMYGOSSIP — Andrew Garfield will sign up for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ if he wins an Oscar this year.
The 38-year-old star has been nominated in the Best Actor category for movie ‘tick, tick…BOOM!’ ahead of the upcoming Academy Awards next month, and the actor joked he will be up for a stint on the Latin and ballroom show if he triumphs at the star-studded ceremony.
When asked on Friday night’s (18.02.22) ‘The Graham Norton Show’ if he would do a stage musical, he says: “I would love to, but you need to be a thoroughbred. I have the deepest respect for those performers.
“I hate to confess it, but I would absolutely love to do ‘Strictly’. It’s on the bucket list.”
Andrew – who is up against Javier Bardem, Benedict Cumberbatch, Will Smith and Denzel Washington for the Best Actor accolade – then jokes: “If I win the Oscar I will come back and do it.”
In 2019, the star admitted his “favourite new past time” was to watch ‘Strictly’, and he was rooting for Stacey Dooley and her professional partner Kevin Clifton to take home the coveted Glitterball Trophy in 2018.
Speaking about his love for the series on ‘The Chris Evans Breakfast Show’ on Virgin Radio, he told the host: “This is the reason I wanted to come and talk to you this morning, I heard you were maybe going to be on it and I think it’s a match made in heaven.
“On my sabbatical, one of the many things I’ve done and maybe the most important thing I’ve done on my sabbatical, is I’ve realised how important ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is, not only for the British public but for me as an individual.
“It’s my favourite new past time to sit and get overly invested in whether Stacey Dooley would win or not.
“I hoped she would win and I was very happy to see it. When I heard you were going to do it, I thought you have to give the people what they want and that is what every person in this country wants!”
‘The Graham Norton Show’ airs on Friday 18th February on BBC One at 10.35pm, and is available on BBC iPlayer.
