First Sydney Sweeny now Andrew Garfield, the stars seem pretty enraged with their privacy under attack. The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield expressed frustration over invasive paparazzi tactics. In an interview with Josh Horowitz, he revealed the alarming extent of media intrusion. "There's nowhere safe anymore," he said, citing instances where photos of him sleeping or engaging in private conversations surfaced online without consent. "That's some f**cked up shit," he emphasized.

Garfield further shared a disturbing experience where a private breakfast conversation was secretly recorded and published. He stressed the importance of consent and advocating for boundaries. It is essential to take consent, he urged before invading someone's privacy and feeding the same to the whole world with added flavors and toppings. His words concur with something that the Euphoria actress had iterated recently.
