After years of building anticipation through red-carpet flirtation, Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg have finally sat down for what fans have been waiting for: their first (sort of) date on Chicken Shop Date. Released on October 18, the long-awaited episode features the dynamic duo discussing their relationship—or lack thereof—over plates of fried chicken at Sam’s Chicken in Harlesden, London.
It was the string of teased and speculated romances, with each flirtatious exchange since their sassy moment at the GQ Men of the Year Awards back in November 2022. Two years later, Garfield and Dimoldenberg finally brought this chemistry onto Amelia's popular YouTube series. Raising some eyebrows and laughs, they sat down to discuss the elephant in the room: is this flirtation real?
Breaking Down the Banter
First off, the Spider-Man actor and the host on YouTube dive right into the playful past between them."We can own that it's been vibey," Garfield remarked early in the conversation, to which Dimoldenberg quipped, "Yeah, it's been vibey to the point where you've been avoiding me for two years because the vibes were too much for you to handle." The banter set the tone for this lighter, more cheeky exchange that would follow for the rest of the episode.
Throughout their pseudo-date, Garfield honestly pointed it out as flirting many times as he smiled, "This is called flirting, Amelia. This is called flirting!" Always quick-witted, Dimoldenberg matched Garfield with some witty one-liners and some teasing comebacks that made him laugh often and even call out her signature moves, exclaiming, "I like it actually, I'm into it."
Could It Be More Than Just a Flirt?
Of course, it wasn't all just jokes and chicken wings. As the conversation drew deeper, the actor brought up one of those questions that fans have been asking for years: "If we were to start a relationship." Garfield began, before he was cut off by Dimoldenberg, who simply had another teasing remark that sent him into hysterics.
They reflected on how this flirtation might have been real if cameras hadn't been present. "If this wasn't here, do you think we'd actually go on a date?" Garfield asked, nodding to the setup of the show in their vicinity.Dimoldenberg agreed, fanning the flames of one of those speculative fire bases in hopes of a real-life romance.
Marriage, Children, and Being Independent As the episode burbled along, Garfield and Dimoldenberg proceeded to tease each other over anything, even down to the more serious topics of marriage and kids. Garfield asked her opinion on both; Dimoldenberg replied with a casual tone, saying that she was fine with both, but she liked being free. As the two discussed long-term partnerships and what it was like to date without the prying eyes of the public, the curiosity seemed to build up more and more in Garfield.
A 'Real Fake Date'—Or a Rehearsal?
Despite all the flirtation and fun, Garfield made it clear that Hollywood relationships, which he described as “flash in the pan stuff,” weren’t his style. He admitted he would prefer something more private and real, away from the cameras and public eye.
"I think we'd have a really nice time without the camera," Garfield told Dimoldenberg earnestly. "I feel like this should be a practice round. I think we should do it again, actually, and better. This should just be a rehearsal."
Whether that ever amounts to anything more than that, of course, is anyone's guess. But for now, audiences get to third-wheel the delightful flirtation of this episode, hoping-cum-wishing that those chicken wing-fueled sparks might eventually amount to something off-screen.
The Continuing Flirtation
No, not even a month since the romance of Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg set their fans begging for more-from that flirtatious exchange at the GQ Awards to the reunion at the 2023 Golden Globes. Each just leaves them wanting more, and such was Chicken Shop Date.
But will this playful rapport remain confined within YouTube, or does the real thing brew amidst banter? Well, that was left to time to have told. Meanwhile, fans feast on the charm of Garfield and the quick wit of Dimoldenberg as they tiptoe through that hilariously awkward space between friendship, flirtation, and something more.
A Date to Remember? But while that Chicken Shop Date episode may not have confirmed the years-long fan speculation about a romantic future, it sure gave them a lot to talk about. The undeniable chemistry of Garfield and Dimoldenberg's "real fake date" has clearly left them wanting more-from future collaborations down to a real-life romance.
