Andrew Garfield has inspired renewed discussion online about grief and emotion after a video of him opening up to “Sesame Street’s” Elmo drew millions of views on social media and an influx of support.

As a tie-in with his recently released romantic drama 'We Live in Time,' Garfield appeared on 'Sesame Street' to talk about his late mother.

During a segment on Sesame Street , Garfield sat down for a chat with Elmo where he reflected on his mother’s tragic death in 2019 from pancreatic cancer. According to Garfield, losing someone isn’t always negative and he learned how it could be a gift.
