New year, new glasses? Andrew Garfield swooned on social media after his hot appearance in 2025 Golden Globes — but in an unlikely turn of events, it’s all because of his reading glasses.

The 41-year-old British actor appeared next to him Kerry Washington to announce the nominees for Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical/Comedy at the ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 5 in Los Angeles, when, to better read the teleprompter, he put on his glasses — and Garfield’s thirst trap left him injured contender for one of the best boyfriends on the internet from 2025

Admittedly, a few things aided the sexiness of this seemingly innocuous moment: Garfield’s dark green Gucci suit looked perfect on him, especially with the matching shirt, which happened to be slightly unbuttoned, revealing a sweet pendant. Most of all, it’s the fact that Garfield is a guy who really knows how to make eye contact and flirt with the camera – who can forget that iconic Chicken Shop Date appearance?

Garfield’s special moment immediately caught the attention of Golden Globes viewers on social media, with comments from fans via X including: “I would sign my house to have Andrew Garfield look at me and then put his glasses on,” “ANDREW GARFIELD SPREE STARING’ AT ME LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY WITH THE GLASSES I CAN’T DEAL WITH THAT LOOK” and “They could create a whole 10+ minute video of people lusting after Andrew Garfield just because he looks too good putting on his reading glasses.”

Meanwhile, his co-host Washington, 47, delivered some unintentionally beautiful words that were the perfect accompaniment to Garfield’s stealth moment. “A great performance has the power to transport us,” she said We live in time the star slowly put on his glasses and adjusted his lapel. “When an actor gets so deep into a character that we as an audience lose ourselves in his performance, the result is magic, we become spellbound, unable to take our eyes off him.” We sure do!
