As he talked about working on Martin Scorsese's Silence, the actor reflected on his own experience. The actor said, "There [have] been a lot of misconceptions about what method acting is, I think. People are still acting in that way, and it’s not about being an a*****e to everyone on set." In terms of his own brush with method acting, Garfield recalled, "I had some pretty wild, trippy experiences from starving myself of sex and food at that time", via Variety.
Andrew portrayed a 17th-century Jesuit priest in the 2016 movie. According to reports, Garfield spent a year studying under Jesuit author Father James Martin, reading about and researching Catholicism, and engaging in spiritual practises in order to prepare for the role. For the part, the actor also observed celibacy for six months. After he started fasting for the part, Andrew's physical transformation for the movie was also noticeable.
