Andrew Garfield has revealed he almost “s**t himself” during his first time at Glastonbury.
The Spider-Man actor, 41, is a regular attendee at Worthy Farm in Somerset and confessed he almost had a toilet-related disaster while attending the music festival with his best friends in the early 2000s.
Garfield dropped the wince-inducing revelation during a Q&A session at Glastonbury to promote his new romantic comedy, We Live In Time.
“I came here in 2009 with the same people I'm here with now, my high school friends [who I’ve known] since we were 12,” he said.
“The first time I came, in 2002 or 2003, I almost s**t myself at 4am on a Monday morning because I had taken too many drugs.
“I genuinely didn’t think I was gonna make it to the beautiful porta-potty that was 400 metres away.”

As the audience burst out laughing, he added self-deprecatingly: “A rite of passage. We shouldn't really be celebrating doing neurological damage to ourselves.
“But it was a very short-lived period. It still remains one of the best nights of my life, weirdly. Really, really weird.”
The Hacksaw Ridge star has spoken openly about his drug use in the past.
In 2012, he revealed he ate pot brownies before going to Disneyland for his birthday with his then-girlfriend Emma Stone, joking at the time: “I really recommend it!”
The Oscar nominee later said he takes hallucinogenic drugs in a “safe” space.
“’Drugs,’ the word, has such a stigma. I can only really take substances if it’s a ritual,” he told Harper’s Bazaar in 2017.
“I mean, weed, I can smoke because it’s just nice. But with hallucinogens, I have to do it in a very conscious way in a place where I feel free and safe and can have a freak-out if I want to. I want to be able to express my insights.”
Garfield compared being high to the feeling of acting, explaining: “That’s what makes it so beguiling and so addictive.
“You get to be bigger than what you are. You get to hold more than you do. You get this divine dissatisfaction.”
