Andrew Garfield Says Jessica Chastain “Rearranged” ‘Eyes of Tammy Faye’ Filming So He Could Be With Dying Mother
As Andrew Garfield's mother was on her deathbed, his 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' co-star Jessica Chastain helped him get home to be with her.
The 2x Oscar nominee recently said he was “really very grateful” for his time on the 2021 Tammy Faye Bakker biopic with co-star Jessica Chastain, who ultimately helped him get home to be with his mother Lynn in her final days before dying of pancreatic cancer. Noting that he and Chastain would frequent the Bakkers’ former Christian theme park Heritage USA together while filming, Garfield added, “We would have deep conversations, because we were both getting to know each other as people. Written by Abe Sylvia and directed by Michael Showalter, The Eyes of Tammy Faye charts Tammy Faye (Chastain) and husband Jim Bakker’s (Garfield) rise from a modest couple of faith in the 1970s to launching the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park.
