I'd love to hear him on a podcast, I could listen to him talk about this stuff for hours. Truly fascinating

So authentic and charismatic

@Willy Simonsson sweet! thank u!

do u know how i can find that podcast? is it an itunes or spotify episode? please and thank you

Colbert can get the deepest interviews of any late night show, by a mile. The last two minutes of this interview were enriching and raw. Respect for both of these guys.

@a89 ug223 Colbert is a catholic and has spoken about religion several times on the show. As for his political views I doubt they would hire a conservative to interview people from hollywood.

@a89 ug223 he's forcing the comedic element. That's all.

I politely disagree. Colbert comes off as a snarky impetuous child. Have to think that his atheist politics has an underpinning that makes it "cool" to act this way. Seems forced and not like a normal conversation.

Damn Stephen went in hard with those questions because he knew Andrew could handle it. What a wonderful and thoughtful interview we got as a result.

"Certainty starts war on behalf of ideolgy" Andrew Garfield

I understand but sometimes, certainity is needed. Really depends.

And we can add another one "Grief is unexpressed love". This guy should write a book!! I love him!

Certainty doesn't start wars, it's not a thing you pursue. Pride, greed and hatred start wars.

He nailed it.

I think this is probably the first Andrew Garfield interview I have seen and I have a whole new level of respect for him

Agreed

Stonerose Mohebbi You stole my thought :) Never imagined to respect this actor until now

I thought the exact same thing! I was like wow I didn't know I liked him this much lol

@Jackson Gondo thank you

I teared up at the end when he started saying a life of faith is a life filled with doubt. I wish more people viewed Christianity this way

@gingy23ben5 good explanation, it makes sense and it's more clear now. Thank you!

I wish more people viewed any religion and faith this way

👏🏼

This is why I love Colbert's show. Genuinely fascinating and intelligent conversation amongst human beings. I am wildly impressed by Andrew's insight and eloquence.

Wonderful interview. I think everyone should, at some point, sit down with a person like that for a chat.

@Lynn Turman lol have you seen him read thirst tweets? i think he might have seen your tweet.

he has twitter?

I invited him over for dinner on twitter but so far haven't heard back.

He's a really intelligent guy. And I love the fact that Colbert actually talks to him. Not about his love life. Not about seeing a Drake concert. But about the process of training to play a priest. Colbert is a Christian and he doesn't hide it. I just love the conversations this guy has with his guests.

Fallon couldn't do an interview this good in a million years.

@E Balla I like Jimmy Fallon’s games but his interviews are trash. By far Conan and Colbert are the best.

agreed. Other than Fallon being far less able to hold a serious conversation, I think Fallon gives his guests far less time to think and speak. He always seems to be cutting them off, which is honestly annoying. It's like he's too scared to ever let a moment of silence pass

You are right, Fallon couldn't because he is not an intellectual person. You can tell within seconds of listening to him, he's not a well read person or an educated person like Colbert, however Fallon has his own audience. Colbert and Fallon are very entertaining in very different ways. I prefer Colbert though.

yea. he is super fake. his fake laugh is so obvious and if he's not interested in what his guest is saying. u can totally tell his fake enthusiasm. God I miss Craig Ferguson! But in todays world, there is no way his show would work. Sadly so.

Very true, to make an interview this true you need to be able to listen

He should do a TED talk, I wanna hear more from him

he’s so extra

I knew Andrew was special the very first time I saw him. I cant wait to watch him act in 10 years

Yess

i agree with this

Definitely!

When Andrew first claimed that certainty is terrifying, I was completely confused and thought "what the hell?" But as he followed it up with "certainty starts war on behalf of ideology," I was totally scared by how truthful this statement is.

@gabzdt Both can be true. Both are displayed in Hacksaw Ridge and Silence to be honest. Silence does a good job of what you commented on with pride and greed. To Rodrigues, his pride stopped him from apostatizing because to him he was Christ like and the simple act of stepping on a painting was too much to bear so people suffered (until they didn’t of course and he came to his senses, thanks to Liam Neeson, on putting pride away to save others like Jesus did) Idk that was just a rant but both certainty and pride, greed, etc start war

Certainty doesn't start wars, it's not a thing you pursue. Pride, greed and hatred start wars.

He is so intelligent and such a fabulous speaker! He expresses his thoughts exceptionally well. I could listen to his interviews all day long

I love how Stephen listens to him and doesnt interrupt Andrew. He gives his guests time to talk and express what they have to say without cracking a joke in the middle of what his guests are trying to portray. Much respect for that

this interview was amazing. he's so eloquent and smart. i like him.

Ikkr

Wow - I could listen to him talk for hours - this was incredibly interesting and meaningful. It is so refreshing to watch content that makes you think, question and reflect on life, philosophy and the meaning of it all. If any! Great interview, host and guest.

I am an atheist but I went to see this movie. His performance blew my mind. Adam's too. He's an incredible actor...he has a talent to make every role his own. I Love him

Breath of fresh air this talented Mr. Garfield is!

I can listen to him talk about religion all day. Garfield should be on Russell Brands podcast/show

A thoughtful, deep, philosophical, and esoteric discussion that is certainly unexpected for an interview segment on a late night talkshow!! Kudos to both host and guest for easing into the topic so seamlessly...

That is the most amazing interview I've seen in a really long time. What a great guy Andrew is.

Dude, top notch interview. Really well done on both parts.

As a Catholic, I am deeply grateful to him for his commitment to his character in this film. He absolutely emptied himself and it shows in what is an immensely challenging, complex, and spiritually powerful film.

I really home he get nominated for a Oscar this year.

I want Andrew wins the Oscar but...... :(

:(

Andrew... i can't even.. That's too deep man!

Shubham Khatdeo He really got in touch with his personal spirituality. Even if he says he's agnostic, what he said about doubt being an ally is so true. Doubt gives you opportunity to reaffirm your faith and keep you strong in what you believe in.

Shubham, I see you are Indian dude. So, there is someone who always says that same though Andrew said in the end there but in an even better way. His name is Jaggi Vasduev or famously called "Sadhguru".

@Ste H Sorry, spotting irony is not my strongest suit, leave it!

Maryam Ojani - Aww, be fair, he was sharing, sharing is good. 👍🏻😊

Oh you're not being ironic 😂😂 ok

I’ve been on a bit of a deep dive watching his interviews lately - he is so wise and articulate. Wow.

I love Andrew for actually being real, like most actors just put on a happy face, but Andrew ain't afraid of having an actual conversation

Great conversation. Andrew is so deep, I should have noticed this virtue of him sooner. I think the reason why many people often say that Stephen is a terrible interviewer is because, I notice it many times, he tries to trigger conversations like this one with other people, but the interviewees either just do not get it, not interested, or too shy in direct communication as to disable them to converse deeply in a talk show (by this, I mean that not everyone is a good speaker, many people find it hard to find the right words when speaking and thus are better at writing).

Andrew's mind is incredible and he's so articulate and able to say what he thinks in a way where we all go.... WOW.

didn't think andrew garfield was that deep made me even more fond of him

I am sorry to come so late to the party. This man is passionately brilliant.

Truly truly impressed with this interview! And with Andrew Garfield for really doing his homework and being open minded for this role!

Wow! I just fell in love with this beautiful human being! This interview, though short, is one of the best in any late show; just loved it!

Agree 100%

Wow man. I hope Andrew becomes a regular guest on Colbert's show.

I would love too see an hour long interview with Andrew and Steven

I just love how deep and thought-provoking this interview is. I have always liked Andrew Garfield for his looks, but damn, I have so much respect for him now. I wish there are more interviews like this!

Jesuit raised here... When you listen to it being explained it sounds deep and intense but when you see it in action (faith as taught by Jesuits), it's really simple and it touches the heart and soul of anyone, whether a believer or not. Everyone should watch this movie and another one, "Ignacio de Loyola" if just for the sake of self awareness.

How about The Mission?

Just watched Ignacio de Loyola a week ago, but still haven't watched Silence! As someone who is deeply influenced by the Jesuits and St. Ignatius I am really looking forward to watching it, especially after seeing this interview with Garfield

Only Stephen can lead a late night interview that is this thought provoking and meaningful.

This was probably the best late night interview ever.

Haven't watched interviews with Andrew Garfield before & I have been benching one after the other for awhile now & damn do I just Wana set down and have a looooong conversation with him about everything that there is to talk about. Such an interesting brain & wonderful perspectives he has on things ! Gotta thank Stephen for giving us this insight into him !!

One of the best late night interviews I've seen in my life. I don't remember seeing such a deep topic on late night discussed with such eloquence. Hats off to Colbert and Andrew Garfield for this gem.

i have literally been listening to him talk in these interviews for hours.

What a deep and interesting conversation between the two of them! This show is so GREAT!

I love to hear Andrew being on fire with God. This is so great and thank you Stephen for listening, agreeing, and not ignoring it.

Honestly, Andrew Garfield is truly brilliant.

I get the sense that Andrew deeply loves the art of acting and I love it

Colbert is on Fire today. The monologue, the spot on garfield interview. One his best shows.

Andrew left me speechless with this interview... Wow. I love him even more now. And Stephen too. Other late night hosts really don't compare to him.

"Certainty is the most terrifying thing to me" He just summarized "Silence" whole thesis in a sentence. Tremendous movie and you can see he really understood the ideas it was trying to transmit. He's such a wonderful person :')

this interview made me a better person

I just came out of the cinema watching Silence. It gave me an existential crisis. No but really, it's a wonderful movie. It doesn't give answers, but posed so many questions. And Andrew Garfield's performance in it was absolutely phenomenal.

this movie looks phenomenal. Def an Oscar Contender

because an Academy Award is not enough for this movie or Andrew. They're way better than that.

Jose Cazares It is a good movie, but got only an Oscar nomination for cinematography.

what an amazing interview, so much new-found respect for Andrew and so much respect for Colbert for letting his guests talk and not interupting them

This was really therapeutic! Huge respect for Andrew.

The MORE I see of this actor, the MORE I like him!  V interesting/unusual convo on topics Hollywood (usually) fears or politely skirts away from...

I've been binge watching Andrew's interviews and man is he so philosophical and fascinating to listen to.

"Certainty starts war on behalf of ideology." Very deep and this little part alone made it worth watching that interview.

I listen to him talk about certainty and I'm just amazed. I'm gonna follow Andrew during his whole career as long as he sticks to himself because he just seems like such a wonderful human being.

This is one of the best 'Thought Provoking' conversations of Colbert's show.. I just love it.. His interviews are really worth watching..

Andrew Garfield! I wish I had seen more of his interviews before this one, he's incredibly eloquent. I'm gonna have to watch more of him now. I've always liked his acting, but now I've got a newfound respect for the guy. Well done

Yes, Andrew is amazing!!! His next movie will be Breathe. Based on the true story of Robin (Garfield), a handsome, brilliant and adventurous man whose life takes a dramatic turn when polio leaves him paralyzed. You can see Andrew Garfield in 99 homes, Never let me go, Boy A, The social Network, The red riding, Hacksaw Ridge, Silence etc.

andrew garfield is becoming one of my favorite actor's

He’s already my favourite actor

Same with me....

He such a thoughtful person and a thoughtful actor, I could sit and listen to him talk for hours

This has got to be one of the best late night interviews I've ever watched. Colbert is able to craft incisive enough questions to get truly unique and thoughtful responses out of his guests that give you a newfound sense of their personalities and perspectives in a way no one else has been able to, especially hacks like Fallon whose idea of entertainment is to laugh at the screen and play loud music to chalk up artificial theater. Furthermore, both this and the Gervais interview had religious _discourse_ rather than _debate_, with both Colbert and his guest being able to articulate their beliefs and ideologies without preaching it or trying to convince each other of their validity. Glad that Late Show's ratings are surging now, its viewership is well deserved for the level of quality it's at.

Wow..i have never known Andrew Garfield was this deep and thoughtful man ! Amazing meaningful and inspiring interview !!

This was an incredible film, by far the best work he's ever done. I am also quite proud of the way that Father James Martin mentored Garfield through the Jesuit spiritual exercises. Go see this movie, folks!

I've never liked him but this interview is one of the best I've ever seen. Very interesting thoughts! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

He's a young person and he's talking like this, that's amazing.

Don Cresswell I learned to play piano and read music at 4 years old. The spiritual path is just as important in society as becoming a lawyer, or engineer, or medical man. Don't we see young boys playing with train sets, girls playing nurse, or other young children playing like a fireman? Why is spiritual life supposed to be for old people? We are not sure and certain we will reach old age, on the contrary, death happens at any moment.

My god! I can’t even explain the love I have for Andrew ❤️ he’s such an amazing person. Definitely my favourite actor

loooveeeed this interview. Love deep conversations like this. thanks Colbert. 💙💙💙💙

such an amazing and enlightening thought on "certainty"...on a late night talk show at that! Thank you Andrew. Thanks Stephen!

wow. Super impressed with Andrew right now. I wish there was more time for him to keep going!!

He's such an amazing actor.. and person in general. So well articulated and genuine.

Andrew is such a philosopher and I love him for that

a wonderful interview! :) i wish there were more like this one.

I just want to have a really long conversation with him. I've always known him as the guy who briefly played Peter Parker, but this just adds so much depth to him.

Yes, Andrew is amazing!!! His next movie will be Breathe. Based on the true story of Robin (Garfield), a handsome, brilliant and adventurous man whose life takes a dramatic turn when polio leaves him paralyzed. But you see him in 99 homes, Silence, Hacksaw Ridge, The social Network, Never let me go, BOY A, The Red Riding... Andrew is excellent!!!

He is so inteligent. I agree with all he said.

Wow, this makes me want to sit and have a cup of tea with him— very, very good thoughts and really well spoken too.

In a way, I’d kill to have Andrew publish a philosophy book. Everything he says is so well-though and deep…

This is such an underrated interview. I always come back to this whenever I need an awakening.

He is such an intelligent actor. I like the way he talks about the jesuits and their teachings. Yes, that is the point what he said: to see God in everyone and everything.

I went to a jesuit high school and it was a wonderful experience it shaped me to be a really good person. I am grateful for it.

Wow man... very cool!! One of the more intelligent Hollywood actors I've probably ever heard! Its rare to hear them talk openly about being truly agnostic :) I think its a concept that most Americans are not comfortable with, with us being one of the most religious, certainly most Christian of the developed countries in the world. With me being an atheist, I really enjoyed this talk!

I love how Stephen asks Andrew about what he would do if he was “visited by an Angel” and now HE’S NOMINATED FOR A TONY AS PRIOR WALTER IN ANGELS IN AMERICA

I forgot this was a talk show. Elevated conversation, enjoyed every moment!

Wow, what a great and deeply inspiring interview!

The making of this film was probably a life-changing experience. Especially with Scorsese in charge of the directing.

This gave me goosebumps! Certainty is terrifying... who comes up with that stuff? Colbert is the God of interviewers!

Andrew is simply the BEST - love everything he says!!!

Wow. Out of ignorance, I had thought Andrew Garfield was a clown and laughed in shock when I recognized him in the trailer for Silence, but this interview has changed my mind.

This is one of the deepest interviews i've ever seen. And also from a guy so young~~ this is why I love watching this show!

"Does the not eating make you angry?" Andrew Garfield's reaction to the question is hilarious! hahahaha @4:04,

He looked like he was having a ptsd flashback there lol poor guy.

Wow, definitely one of my favorite guests so far. Pretty good insight.

I am in love with this interview, the way that he speaks of the beauty of meditation, and spiritual exploration, and our connection to God, I want to see more of these interviews.

that was so deep and Andrew is such a lovely contemplative person. #respect

Silence, one of the best movies in the history. Great acting, great story.

I could listen to him all day, brilliant!

I'm muslim, can't say I disagree with anything he said... As if I didn't like him enough before...

And he's Jewish.

@Jaq Tweedie no they are talking about spirit.

@Weil Labed salam .. well I'm muslim and us - like christians and jews- our spirituality relates to positive energy as in God, Andrew and occultists- when they mention spirituality they mean satan/the beast/snake of the so called knowledge . notice when he said yes there are good ones when talking about angels. We fast to be humble and they fast for "spirit" or demon to use their body and mind. I find this interview terrifying but thankful to know that's what believers in spirit believe

I’m also Muslim and I agree 100% with what Andrew said. We also believe in spiritual things likes jinns, shaytan/Satan (devil).

Muneera Alsaleh because we aren’t 100% sure it does exist. Thats what faith is. If you question it and then tell yourself, “well i can’t be certain it doesn’t exist either but I’ll follow you because believing in you & in heaven is has shown me how precious life tuly is and can be.”

oh my gosh, I never knew about this film! I need to find it! Now my respect to Andrew Garfield has tremendously increased, he is so sweet, great actor and spiritual. I like that, rare in actors now at days.

He is too precious for this world.

He's so charming and the interview was so deep, so elegant

BEAUTIFUL interview!!! By far THE BEST one on 2017 yet.
