Andrew Garfield has drawn criticism from the LGBTQ community for claiming he is a "gay man without the physical act".
The 33-year-old actor portrays a character who struggles between his Jewish faith and homosexuality in the play Angels in America, and Garfield made the comments when discussing his research for the role, which included binge watching RuPaul's Drag Race.
According to OUT, he told a panel discussion about the production: "Every Sunday I would have eight friends over and we would just watch Ru. I mean every single series of RuPaul's Drag Race.
"I mean every series. This is my life outside of this play. I am a gay man right now just without the physical act - that's all."
The Amazing Spider-Man star - who was previously in a relationship with actress Emma Stone - went on to insist he is "not a gay man", but wouldn't rule out a same-sex relationship in the future.
