Andrew Garfield does not have good words for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
During an interview with Vulture, The Amazing Spider-Man star praised Meryl Streep's speech at the Golden Globe Awards 2017 in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, in which she slammed Trump for mocking a disabled reporter at a rally in 2015.
Emma Stone's former boyfriend said: "We all, I'm sure, have seen Obama's farewell speech, his final address, which was so full of grace and love and warmth. And then you switch on the television and you see this sick man. The contrast! The sickness, the toxicity, that is emanating out of his every pore — energetically, you can just feel it, I believe, if your eyes and ears are open. It's shocking."
"I'm grateful for people like Meryl Streep. She gives our profession a very, very good name because she's focused on the things that are meaningful. She's not trying to win votes, she's not trying to make money or win endorsements or be popular, she's just trying to speak the truth," he added.
Meanwhile, Trump took to Twitter to respond to Streep's speech. He wrote: "Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him "groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!"
