Andrew Garfield has left fans stunned at the Venice Film Festival after appearing to have somehow turned back time.
The 42-year-old actor walked the red carpet for the premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s new film After the Hunt, and social media immediately erupted over how youthful he looked.
@oyebajwey wrote: ‘He doesn’t look 40 at all,’ while @Fiyin34 added: ‘He still looks so young.’
Another, @_Ahmadgadam, was even more emphatic: ‘This dude looks 25 meanwhile he’s 40 yearsss! Wow.’
The reactions kept coming, with @liverasrep insisting: ‘He is aging in reverse omg!’ and @CaiusKnight declaring simply: ‘He doesn’t age.’
Some begged Garfield to ‘drop the recipe,’ joking that the Spider-Man star must have discovered the secret to eternal youth.

Others compared him to his superhero alter ego, with one fan quipping that he clearly had ‘Peter Parker’s regeneration powers in real life.’
The actor is attending the film festival alongside co-stars like Julia Roberts and Ayo Edebiri.
In the drama, Roberts plays popular Yale philosophy professor Alma, whose life and ambition for tenure start to crumble when her mentee (Ayo Edebiri) accuses her close friend and departmental colleague Hank (Andrew Garfield) of assault.
When asked if the film could be seen as undermining feminism at a press conference on Friday, Roberts instead said she hoped the film would ‘stir up’ difficult discussions.

‘Not to be disagreeable, because it’s not in my nature, but what you just said that I love is it revives old arguments.
‘I don’t think it’s reviving just an argument of women being pitted against each other and not supporting each other, but there’s a lot of old arguments that get rejuvenated in a way that creates a conversation,’ the 57-year-old told journalists, including Metro.
We Live in Time actor Garfield spoke too about his interest in playing with the conscious and unconscious in After the Hunt, sharing that ‘if we don’t make the unconscious conscious, things will happen in our lives and we will call it fate’.
‘I feel like when our motivations are invisible, even to ourselves, all of us are unreliable narrators. And especially in a culture where survival is paramount, or a kind of perception of survival, is paramount,’ he added.
Garfield arrived in Venice hand in hand with American actress Monica Barbaro, 35, best known for her role in Top Gun: Maverick.
The pair were first spotted together at W Magazine’s Best Performances party in Los Angeles back in January, before romance rumours were confirmed at Glastonbury Festival, where they were seen kissing, hugging and singing along to Gracie Abrams.

An onlooker told The Sun: ‘They both seemed really happy and were in their own little world.’
At Venice, Garfield looked equally smitten, smiling as he arrived at the festival with Barbaro by his side.
The outing comes months after his ex-girlfriend Kate Thomas, 42, confirmed on social media that the pair had quietly split ‘months ago.’
For now, though, it’s Garfield’s youthful glow that has stolen the spotlight.
