Both Zendaya and Andrew Garfield Find Meaning in Helping People Through Acting

Apparently, even someone as successful as Garfield also sometimes feels like he's not doing enough for the world. "My brother's treating COVID patients as we speak, and I'm wearing a lovely jacket talking about 'Spider-Man,'" says Garfield. "But then he goes home and watches 'Spider-Man' with his boys. Oh no, I'm just trying to justify my existence." Garfield also adds that he has an acting teacher who emphasises the importance of delivering healing performances: "'If it isn't healing, then we are not doing it right,'" he quotes.

Zendaya echoes Garfield's sentiments about the importance of delivering performances that can heal and provide catharsis for viewers, adding that helping people through her performances is very important to her. "I think for me being in service of other people's healing through my work means that what I'm doing makes sense," she says.
