That's not true.

We had a really good time together.

Little did you know I was on hallucinogens.

I'm Andrew Garfield.

These are my ten essential cool things.

Oh, God, I want to start with the ring.

This is a really sentimental symbol that is a memory of my mother with a little bunny rabbit engraved.

I've only worn it once to the Oscars because the first time I was nominated for Oscar, she was there with me, with my dad, and she passed away a couple of years ago and she wasn't able to come with us.

And I wanted something with me so that she could have some physical symbolic presence.

She was someone that could find beauty and meaning in this most invisible, diminutive things.

And I think she always identified with something in the rabbit.

She would fantasize about becoming a rabbit and hanging out with the rabbits that were at the bottom of our garden.

And maybe someday she does get to go and just kind of hang out down there with her rabbit folk, maybe.

Now, so I don't know if anyone knows Vlad Chivatil, who created Codenames, but it's a great game that I got into about five or six years ago.

And so whenever me and a certain group of friends are together, we will make sure that this happens.

And it's just a really fun, fun time.

And Bananagrams, you know, Bananagrams.

And you can play on your own, I discovered, which is a sad state of affairs, but I've done it a few times on a flight.

I remember now this is a story that maybe I shouldn't tell because usually on a flight I keep to myself.

But for this trip, I think I microdosed.

I did a little bit of mushrooms and took away a kind of layer of self-consciousness or shyness.

And I just started playing Bananagrams on my own on my little pull out table and ended up asking the person next to me if she wanted to play.

And we had this really wonderful long game of Bananagrams.

And, you know, cut to, we're married and the mother of my children.

That's not true.

But it was a really, really nice flight.

We had a really good time together.

Little did she know I was on hallucinogens.

So she was getting a very specific version of me in real life.

Real life?

What is real life, Vlad Chivatill?

You tell us.

This is self-explanatory, I feel.

I feel like everyone has their own $150 ping pong paddle.

This is my luxury item on my desert island desks.

Just playing ping pong on my own wherever I am.

I never thought I would be someone who owns his own ping pong paddle.

But look, it's just beautiful.

It's like it's absolutely beautiful.

And now when I play my friends in a casual game, there is no such thing as a casual game of ping pong.

I always have the upper hand with with my Timo Boll blade.

I mean, like, is it essential?

Yes.

The answer is yes.

No, absolutely not.

But but it does make me feel happy to be alive.

Granola generally is like the favorite part of my day.

This one is farmers, farmers we know.

You know, I like this one a lot.

It's like a morning ritual.

I'll sit in my favorite chair.

I'll look out my window.

I'll eat my granola with raspberries and blueberries and some 2% milk.

It used to be yogurt, but then I got food poisoning from my yogurt.

And then I just decided I don't want to deal with that again.

And then I'll have my coffee and I'll just I'll think or I'll write and I'll just kind of it's like so like beautiful solitude.

So this is a beauty.

This is what something I'm writing at the moment.

Can you see me still?

I don't know.

It's hard to do this sat down.

This is something that I've been writing, and it's just elegantly beautiful.

I keep this one in my bedroom.

You know what I mean?

Like this one sleeps next to me.

I think like surfboards are pieces of art unto themselves.

And when you catch a wave and you ride it, you feel like you're riding the wind and you do make stupid sounds.

To have the time and the space to be able to pursue something just for the sake of doing it, I feel very grateful for.

And that is essential.

We do need those things that are for not for no one else, but for ourselves and for our own growth and spirit and connection to reality.

This is a necklace with a compass on it.

My closest friends gave this to me in a period of time where I needed to trust the direction I was going, even if I didn't know where I was going.

And it was again during the time where going through a terrible loss, there was something about the void that that created and the remarkable things that started to slowly fill the void of that kind of loss.

And one of them was friendship.

And this definitely is a symbol of that kind of invisible net of friendship, I suppose.

And yeah, the compass is, I don't know, it's a reminder maybe that the more lost you are, the more of an adventure you're on.

And also maybe that's when you're into your true walkabout and you're going to find things that you wouldn't have dreamed you would find.

My friendships are essential.

And this is a little symbol of some of the deep friendships in my life.

Yeah, books.

These are just like some things I'm reading right now because I've been kind of nomadic a lot of my life for a good 15 to 20 years.

I was just kind of like and I would have one suitcase with clothes and I would have another smaller suitcase with hard copy books.

Some of them got read and some of them didn't.

But it was more just like a feeling of home with me wherever I was going.

I start to get a bit anxious if I don't have literature and great stories with me in some way.

And I, you know, I have my iPad and I download.

But but like there's something about, I don't know, is this is, you know, it's not like theater.

This is not going anywhere.

You know, we have time as a mother and it's a series of poems and essays.

And Alan Watts always, you know, like get to get existential and remember the smallness of our own individual egos with Alan Watts.

That's really exciting.

This is a guy called Wade Davis, who was a National Geographic Explorer.

And this is him going into lots of indigenous cultures around the world and looking at our original human wisdom and how it can apply to some meaninglessness in today's world.

You know, this kind of like creative stimulation and life stimulation that feels essential to me.

This is a Carver skateboard.

There's a specific thing that the Carver skateboard does, and it's the front truck has this weird ability to twist as well as go side to side, I think is meant to kind of simulate more of an ability to carve out long lines that you would carve out while you're surfing.

And surfing has become a really essential part of my life.

It's one of the most kind of beautiful activities I think a human being can attempt to master and even try.

So this is a cool invention, really, because waves are few and far between.

So when you finally catch that wave, you want to be able to have fun.

And this contraption enables you on dry land to get that rhythm so that by the time you manage to catch the one wave you might catch in a session, you're ready to commune.

You're ready to have your spiritual moment with this mysterious thing that's appeared in the magnificent oceans.

Dark chocolate generally is really a way for me to kind of satiate an addiction without feeling really awful about myself.

I grew up with Aero, Whispers and Twixes, and iKite.

We have to stop that at some point because the body just can't deal with it.

So enter stage left.

Puerto Rico, enter stage right.

This is a daily thing, like, I will eat one of these a day.

I don't want to live in this world if I don't eat one of these a day.

I don't get to deal with these brands, these specific brands of dark chocolate.

And specifically these flavors, the quinoa crunch gets me and the vanilla crunch gets me.

So I just feel like I'm like, I don't want to sell stuff to people.

But I did, like, when I was thinking about these things, I was thinking, you know, ethical brands.

And as far as I know, Lolita, pretty good with that stuff, non-toxic.

And it's just like really, it's like jumping out of my hand because it's like the universe saying, don't sell products.

Mini Driver also likes Lolita.

That's a little tidbit.

We're buddies and we live nearby to each other.

And, you know, she came over a cup of tea.

She used the toilet.

This is a fucking great Hollywood story for you.

She came out of the toilet going, Lolita.

And I was like, yeah.

And she said, I love that you love Lolita.

And I was like, me too.

Isn't it great?

That was that.

I thank you so much for watching.

These have been and still will be, for the time being, my 10 essentials.
