I don't know why the heck I shed a tear when Andrew gave his brother a major shout out and gave him a standing ovation from everyone in the room. I guess it was just his genuine kindness. He's a very charming and down to Earth person, I can sense that from him. He deserve all the recognition and success he has, and even more.

[shazichevalier]

“he’s a pulmonary— he’s a lung doctor” i love how Andrew chose simpler word to describe it <3

[burdenedwithgloriouspurpos]

Wait, so Andrew has a brother named Ben? So, if he ever has a kid, that kid will have a Spider-Man for a father and an uncle Ben? Brilliant.

I have to say that I was surprised Colbert teased Andrew's brother about being bald, but I loved how Andrew turned it all around on a dime and reminded everyone of what's important: saving lives, not acting or late-night hosting.

[annnishere]

It's so sweet how Andrew complimented his brother for being a hero while everybody was laughing at his baldness

[RaymondNYC]

I laughed hysterically when Benjamin Garfield merely pointed to his father to explain how he lost his hair. lol

[lazyperfectionist]

Now _this_ speaks to the character of Stephen as a host. He _interviewed_ an actor, but he and his audience gave a _pulmonologist_ a standing ovation.

[xenon]

Seriously cannot believe he is 38 years old. He has aged like fine wine.

[gamepapa]

So you're telling me that, somewhere in this world, there is an actual "Doctor Garfield"? Truly, this is the best timeline.

[mgg]

“My brother is a doctor, I’m just an actor.” Thanks Andrew. We all need to get things straight, I love movies as much as anybody else, but in real life there are a lot of people who are so much more important. It’s great that he can recognize it so simply and humbly.

[recca]

I don't know if it was rude for Stephen to point out the age difference between Andrew and his brother based on physical appearance, but he did address probably what was all on our minds. Andrew then took, what felt like an embarrassing moment for the dude, and turns it into standing ovation praise from everyone in the studio for his brother and his work. I don't want to call it improv or a performance, but whatever that was, that was the best I've ever seen. It just shows how quick Andrew is and how much he loves his brother, bravo!

[GlasPigen]

It’s not often I’m caught by surprise by a late night interview, but this was not only so lovely and endearing, I actually learned something: Andrew Garfield is smart as hell and has a beautiful language, and his family are equally, if not more, endearing and impressive.

[ayushigupta]

"He's a doctor and I'm merely an actor"
That's why I love Andrew❤

[UGAgradRN]

Kinda stung me to even watch his brother be called out for his hair loss. Hope it didn’t hurt him! So proud of Andrew for turning it around and praising his brother. What a cool dude. It’s no small feat to be a pulmonologist during covid.

Just met Andrew's brother, he saved my father's life in the ICU. Dr. Garfield looks nothing like Andrew but speaks in a very similar way. I cannot stress enough how fantastic a doctor he is

[slindeer]

even when they were making fun of his brother for his baldness, he manages to turn it around and make the entire room give a standing ovation for his brother. i love this man.

[s.a]

Andrew Garfield is 38 and still looks like he's in his 20s damn

[ladrac]

Anyone else tear up when Andrew shouted out his brother and the audience gave him a standing ovation?

[cristinasolano]

Why everything Andrew Garfield is involved, becomes heartfelt and wholesome?

[tanayasharma]

i love how andrew keeps talking about his brother at so many places he goes and acknowledges how great work he does
