Comedian and presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg has finally opened up about one of the most talked-about celebrity encounters in recent memory—her hilariously awkward Chicken Shop Date with Hollywood star Andrew Garfield.
In a candid revelation, Dimoldenberg shared the behind-the-scenes details of the viral interview, which left fans both cringing and laughing at Garfield's painfully relatable attempts at flirting.
The Infamous Date
The episode, part of Dimoldenberg's popular YouTube series where she interviews celebrities over fried chicken, quickly became a fan favourite thanks to Garfield's endearing yet awkward demeanour.
"It was one of those moments where you just can't believe what's happening," Dimoldenberg admitted. "Andrew was trying so hard to be smooth, but it just kept getting more awkward—and that's what made it so brilliant."
Why It Went Viral
The chemistry—or lack thereof—between the two was undeniable. Fans couldn't get enough of Garfield's nervous energy and Dimoldenberg's deadpan reactions.
Highlights included:
- Garfield nervously fumbling with his food
- Awkward silences filled with forced small talk
- Dimoldenberg's signature dry humour cutting through the tension
The clip spread like wildfire across social media, with viewers dubbing it one of the most "painfully relatable" celebrity interviews ever.
What Andrew Garfield Said
Garfield himself later admitted to being starstruck—but not by another celebrity. "I was so intimidated by Amelia," he confessed. "She's just so quick and witty, and I felt like I was failing miserably at keeping up."
Dimoldenberg, however, insists the Spider-Man actor was "adorably awkward" and that the entire experience was "weirdly charming."
For fans of cringe-worthy yet heartwarming celebrity moments, this revelation only adds to the legend of one of the internet's most unforgettable interviews.
