At the time, Garfield's mother was suffering from pancreatic cancer, and Chastain, along with the film’s producers, rearranged the shooting schedule to allow him to visit her in England. Garfield expressed gratitude, saying that Chastain's decision enabled him to be by his mother’s side for ten days before her passing.
Reflecting on the experience, he noted, “What was amazing was that [Searchlight Pictures’ David Greenbaum] and Jessica rearranged the schedule last-minute—put filming on hold in North Carolina for a few days so that I could go back and be with my mom.” He also mentioned that co-star Vincent D'Onofrio offered his support during this challenging time, encouraging him to prioritize family.
Garfield fondly recalled moments with Chastain outside of filming, sharing how they would drive to Heritage USA, the theme park created by Tammy Faye’s husband, Jim Bakker, whom Garfield portrayed in the film. He described these trips as a “beautiful ritual” where they worked on their chemistry as a couple for the film.
The movie, set in the 1970s, also stars Gabriel Olds, Cherry Jones, and Joe Ando, and is available for streaming on Apple TV. Looking ahead, Garfield is set to appear in We Live in Time, alongside Florence Pugh, which will hit theaters on January 1, 2025.
