Andrew Garfield says comments he made about gay men have been "twisted" by the media.

The actor has been speaking to Newsbeat ahead of the cinema release of Angels in America, in which he plays a gay man living with Aids.

He has been criticised for saying in a recent Q&A that the part makes him feel gay, "just without the physical act".

The year-old hinted that he had been upset by the reaction, but said it didn't really matter how he felt.

Andrew has been performing the lead role of Prior Walter in the verb at the National Theatre in London since May.

In a Q&A at the theatre, he was asked how he prepared for the part.

Andrew Garfield is trying to live his life as openly as possible, he said in a new interview with Out magazine – including when it comes to his sexuality.

The Angels in America actor explained that while he currently identifies as a heterosexual man, he is not shutting out the possibility of being attracted to men in the future.

It was a seemingly light-hearted if-not-ludicrous conversation, but lo and behold when it came to applying that ever-necessary sun scream to any hard-to-reach areas, none of the guys asked each other to help out – even when us girls weren’t around. They would rather burn, in record European temperatures no less, than ask another man to put sun cream on them.

But seriously, it’s a real thing with the men, the o
