There’s nothing more electric than good chemistry – and Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg have enough to power a small city. 

Ever since a red-carpet interview at the Golden Globes went viral two years ago, fans on the internet have been obsessing over Andrew and Amelia’s imaginary romance. 

Now, a new episode of Chicken Shop Dates – Amelia’s YouTube interview show featuring celebrity interviews framed as dates in a local chicken shop – will finally feature Andrew and all his irresistible active listening skills. 

Known for playing Spiderman in three of the films in the Marvel franchise, the Academy Award-nominated actor is often accused of coming off ‘as a man written by a woman,’ a phrase used to denote that a man is sensitive and eager to engage in a way that feels outside the male gaze. 

Basically, lots of people think he’s really hot.

Amelia’s brand of comedy is notoriously dry, and she often flirts with her celebrity guests by shocking them with direct propositions and questions.

Usually, this causes her guests to react with awkward laughter. In contrast, the red carpet interaction between Andrew and Amelia was so compelling because the actor met her deadpan directness with bubbly sweetness and his own brand of directness, disarming her and making her laugh. 

Since the video went viral, fans have been calling for the Under the Banner of Heaven actor to appear on Amelia’s show, and it was recently announced they have finally gotten their wish, to the absolute delight of fans online.

One X user, @folkred12, reacted to the news: ‘Even if I never find love… this is enough.’

@Call_me_gulabo responded to the teaser clip: ‘Felt like I was intruding IMMEDIATELY.’

@remisversion speculated: ‘This is actually gonna break the internet.’

@chadasianwife wrote: ‘Omg. I can’t believe it took this long for this to happen. The chemistry is palpable.’

@sctbrt agreed: ‘The chemistry is unreal.’

The episode is set to come out October 18 and seems fatefully timed, as its just been confirmed that Andrew is no longer dating ex-girlfriend Dr Kate Tomas, the ‘philosopher and spiritual mentor’ he’s been linked to since March. 

This week, Kate made the pair’s relationship status clear on Instagram after a follower asked if she was still dating the actor.

The fan wrote: ‘[Are you] still dating Andrew Garfield? … Tell him I’m a fan of him, please.’

She replied: ‘We broke up months ago but I’m sure he will be happy to know that he is loved.’

With official confirmation of Andrew’s single status, Amelia is free to flirt with the actor as brazenly as she wants – and he’s already made it clear he’s interested. 

Here is the complete timeline of the pair’s flirtation.
