Andrew Garfield reveals secret musicals 'passion project'

The 42-year-old actor, who showed off his singing talents in 2021 movie tick, tick... BOOM!, has revealed he's still involved in music after putting together a group with some friends based on the tunes of the iconic 1976 musical.

"Look out for The Shangles. Look out for a group of middle-aged guys doing Bugsy Malone covers.”

Andrew teased that the group are waiting to see "what happens out there" as he promised "some big plans" in the future.

He added: "But I can't really say it until it's official - I don't want to jinx it."

The Magic Faraway Tree star did point out that The Shangles aren't focused on "any kind of commercial kind of success".

Andrew, who turns 43 on Thursday (20.08.26), recently revealed he is opening for a quiet celebration after a busy time filming and promoting two films due for release this year, The Magic Faraway Tree and The Uprising.

Asked his dream day off, he told People magazine: “[There’d be] a lot of laying down and looking out my window. Not very active, yeah. I’m in need of some rest right now.”

And of his upcoming birthday, he added: “I’ll just do chill things and be with loved ones and eat good food. I think 43 will be a little chill.”

Meanwhile, Andrew - who has been romantically linked to his Artificial co-star Monica Barbaro - recently spoke of how he is determined to keep his relationships out of the spotlight.

Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, he explained: "It feels like a violation of my inner world, my private world. I thought maybe that would soften at some point, but I’m very surprised to say that it hasn’t."
