Andrew Garfield Confirms Viral Delivery Driver Who Blew His Spider-Man Cover Was Telling The Truth
Andrew Garfield has confirmed that a bizarre story involving a DoorDash delivery is true, but has a slightly different version of events.
In case you missed it, back in January of last year, Twitter user @DrnBerry posted a tweet in which he claimed to have delivered food to Garfield while in Atlanta and that he was ‘rude asf’.
In a follow up tweet, @DrnBerry wrote: “It was cool but I asked for his ID it’s protocol if we deliver alcohol we have to scan. He kinda got agitated I brushed it off.”
At the time, the rumour mill was swirling about Garfield’s possible inclusion in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and many fans thought the tweet, which has since been deleted, was proof he was in the area for filming.

Of course, we all now know that Garfield did make an appearance in the latest Spider-Man movie and the actor has been able to put his side of the story across.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he said: “This is my first night in Atlanta, and I’m with two of my best friends.
“I ordered takeout for us, and COVID is high, and I order food. It’s literally my first night there, and it’s great. I get to wear a mask everywhere. I get to wear a hat.
"Nobody’s ever going to know I’m here, and I’m going to really be low-key and whatnot. So the guy comes to the door, the delivery guy - sweet seeming guy, nice seeming dude - and I open the door, I’ve got my mask on, my hat, and I’m like, ‘Thanks, man.'
“He’s like, ‘I need to see your ID.’ And I’m like, ‘No delivery food thing has ever asked me for my ID. This is interesting.’
“And by the way, he’s like, kind of like really close to the door, and at this point, I’m super like, I’ve got to go to set tomorrow. I don’t want to risk shutting down a Marvel set in the middle of a pandemic.
"So I’m just like, ‘Sure, just one second. Would you mind just like stepping a few feet back because of COVID and everything,’ and he does. I’m like, ‘Sorry, man, why do you need my ID?’ ‘So I can check that it’s you.'”
“First of all, my DoorDash account is not my name. And he’s like, ‘Yeah, because you got alcohol.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I didn’t get alcohol. I didn’t get any alcohol, man. I got some tacos.’
"Lo and behold the guy goes, ‘I think I just delivered food to Andrew Garfield,’ and I think he called me rude, which I definitely wasn’t.
“I did ask to do social distancing, but I obviously upset the man and I didn’t mean to and I apologise for anything that may have been misconstrued as being rude. I don’t like upsetting people, but it just became this whole thing, and then I think he got in trouble. I don’t know, whatever.
"But wherever you are, I know what you were up to. You were being sneaky, and you gave me a good challenge that night.”
