Andrew Garfield Opens Up To Elmo About Remembering His Late Mother Lynn In Heartfelt Clip

The actor reflected on both celebrating and missing his mom, who died of pancreatic cancer.

Andrew Garfield spoke to Elmo about his late mother Lynn Garfield and the “joy” she brought to loved ones in her lifetime in a viral, heartfelt clip shared by the “Sesame Street” character on Friday.

The actor opened up about remembering his mom, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2019, after the Muppet offered to “check in” with him.

“You know, Elmo always feels really sad when he misses somebody,” Elmo said.

“Oh yeah, me too, me too. But you know that sadness, it’s kind of a gift, it’s kind of a lovely thing to feel in a way because it means that you really loved somebody when you miss them,” Andrew Garfield replied.

He then reflected on “all of the cuddles” and hugs he used to get from his mom, adding that the memories make him feel “close to her ... in a strange way.”
