Andrew Garfield Gets Past His Ego And Self-Glory For The Role In Silence

Renowned Hollywood Actor Andrew Garfield states that he tried to get rid of ego and the feeling of self-glory for the role of his latest film Silence.

The movie Silence directed by famed Hollywood film-maker Martin Scorsese, is about a Catholic missionary in charge, who along with his colleague sets out on an adventurous journey to find out their lost mentor.

"With 'Silence', there was longing. I wanted my ego to get beaten up. I wanted to get past this idea of self-glory, that limited perspective on life and what's meaningful." Said Andrew Garfield in a statement.

"There's a lot of ego there, a lot of ambition and personal glory that he's after. I don't think he's all that aware of it when he first sets foot in this foreign territory of Japan, and I believe that is what is really, truly tested, this strong-willed and forceful ego." The actor added.

Garfield also stated that the film has also helped him take a deeper look into his own self and inhabit the world in a more mature way.

"It was a wonderful journey to go on because it's the pulverisation of the ego and the cracking open of the small self to reveal the deeper self inside and to truly inhabit the world in a more mature way. I hope that some of that rubbed off," Garfield said.
