Photos from the set quickly circulated on social media, where fans zeroed in on Garfield's noticeably youthful and altered facial features. The actor's new look led to speculation about whether the transformation was the result of prosthetics, makeup, or cosmetic enhancement.
"I hope this is the outcome of a heavy make up work and not a face job that he might have had. I will be painfully disheartened if it's the latter. Andrew does not look like this even without his beard. This is him more than ten years ago," one fan commented.
Another added, "Artificial is the term of how Andrew face looks here!!" A third person remarked, "they did something real freaky to his face. [sic]"
While some reactions questioned the authenticity of Garfield's new appearance, others were captivated by how youthful he looked. "I thought this was an old photo of Andrew... he looks so much younger here," one popular comment read, reflecting the sentiment of many online observers.
