Andrew Garfield Grieves His Mom Lynn With Elmo: ‘I Just Miss Her a Lot’

'When I miss her, I remember it’s because she made me so happy,' Andrew Garfield tells Elmo in the sweet clip from Sesame Workshop.

The actor opened up to the Sesame Street character about his feelings around missing his mom Lynn, who died in 2019 of pancreatic cancer. The Sesame Workshop shared the video on Friday as part of an effort to help explain grief through children and how “working through difficult feelings can get easier with time.” The organization is the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, which has helped empower children and families for more than 50 years. Earlier this month, Garfield caught up with CNN’s Anderson Cooper and shared how he was remembering his mother.
