Andrew Garfield Says Jessica Chastain ‘Rearranged’ Filming Schedule for ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’ So He Could See His Mother Before She Died


Andrew Garfield says Jessica Chastain 'rearranged' the filming schedule for 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' so he could spend time with his dying mother.

Andrew Garfield recalled in a recent interview with People how Jessica Chastain ensured he would spend time with his mother, Lynn, before she died in 2019 from pancreatic cancer. Based on a true story, the 2021 biopic follows Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker’s rise from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network, as well as a Christian theme park. “And it was a combination of trying to commune with the spirit of Jim and Tammy and the place where they set up their temple, in a way, to their god but also to themselves.”
