Who knew conversations about armpits and astrology could be so tantalizing?
British media personality Amelia Dimoldenberg, best known for her YouTube series âChicken Shop Date,â deployed her trademark awkwardness and expert flirting skills while interviewing Andrew Garfield at two separate red carpet events recently â and their chemistry is off the charts.
âChicken Shop Dateâ is a popular YouTube series in which Dimoldenberg takes different celebrities like Jack Harlow, Ed Sheeran and Daniel Kaluuya to notoriously unsexy fried chicken joints for hilariously clumsy âdates.â
In November, Dimoldenberg got a gig interviewing celebrities on the red carpet for GQâs Men of the Year Awards. It was there that Garfield approached her to tell her he was a fan.
âI think youâre great,â Garfield shyly says to Dimoldenberg in a video that went viral on Twitter Thursday.
After some back-and-forth, Dimoldenberg then tells Garfield that sheâs been trying to get a âdateâ with him âfor a while.â
âIâm asking you out right now,â Dimoldenberg said, shooting her shot to get Garfield on her show, but also perhaps insinuating a real date.
âYou do date a lot of people,â the âThe Amazing Spider-Manâ star said bashfully.
âYeah, and?â Dimoldenberg shot back.
âOh no, itâs wonderful,â Garfield said. âItâs just like, I donât know. I just feel less special, I guess.â
âNo way, you are the most special,â Dimoldenberg said.
âRight,â Garfield said nervously laughing. âYou say that to every single person.â
âNo, I donât. Youâre the first person Iâve called special tonight â especially your armpits,â Dimoldenberg said, referring to a GQ cover story of Garfield in November, which includes photos of the the âUnder the Banner of Heavenâ star shirtless, with his arms raised, and appearing to be sniffing himself.

After Garfield admits that he hated that photo and almost asked the magazine to âkill it,â Dimoldenberg tells him that it was her âfavorite imageâ from the shoot.
âItâs the background on my phone,â she says.
Garfield then asks if she has an armpit fetish, and after some more adorable back-and-forth, Dimoldenberg says: âLook, Iâm giving you a compliment, you look really good, just take the compliment.â
âYou look lovely as well. You look very beautiful,â Garfield says before leaning to the side to check her out.
The two met again on the Golden Globes red carpet Tuesday, and their banter hit its boiling point.
âWe must stop meeting like this,â Dimoldenberg says to Garfield cheekily in a video of the encounter.
âI only ever want to see you,â Garfield says, slightly flustered.
âWhat?â Dimoldenberg responds.
âThatâs not the end of the sentence!â Garfield says, placing his hands over Dimoldenbergâs on her mic.
âI only ever want to see you in these kinds of situations,â Garfield says.
âWhat about other kinds of situations?â Dimoldenberg asks, before the two get into a conversation about how their astrological charts are so complementary that Garfield said he was âscaredâ of what exploring other situations with Dimoldenberg âwould turn into.â
We say Garfield should go for it. In the same GQ profile Dimoldenberg referred to during their first interview, Garfield did say he regretted not having a family and children yet.
So, maybe the two should go on a chicken shop date â off camera.
