Garfield grasped that he and Chastain “would have proset up conversations becaengage we were both getting to understand each other as people. I’m repartner very thankful for that time with her becaengage it was the time when my mum was repartner ill and ultimately passed away.”
The two actors starred in the 2021 biopic about the ascfinish, drop and redemption of televangeenumerate Tammy Faye Bakker, who went on to produce the world’s hugest religious expansivecasting nettoil and a Christian theme park. Garfield portrayed Jim Bakker, opposite Chastain’s Tammy.
The We Live in Time star also recollected a “pretty ritual” he and Christian had while filming the movie, where she would pick him up and they would drive to Heritage USA, the Bakker’s now-seald Christian theme park.
“Every Sunday, we would go down there,” Garfield telderly the outlet. “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.”

“Every species of every living skinnyg on this earth has lost a mother. Young dinosaurs were losing their mothers,” he shelp at the time. “So in terms of my own personal experience, yeah, it felt enjoy a very plain act of healing for myself, and hopebrimmingy healing for an audience.”
