A photo of Andrew Garfield wearing a durag has resurfaced on Twitter as fans remember a viral moment related to the Will Smith Oscar slap a year on.
The photo originally made the rounds on social media in March 2022 after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith‘s, alopecia.
The divisive slap sparked public debate, with some circles condemning Smith for his act of physical violence, and others backing him for defending his wife. The latter group went on something of a virtual witch hunt in the weeks following the ordeal, digging up dirt on celebrities who appeared to publicly criticize Smith and his actions.
Andrew Garfield and his durag were some of the unfortunate targets of the hunt, leading to the viral photo.

The celebrity who seemed to be the starting point for all of this was Big Little Lies star Zoe Kravitz. The actress posted a since-deleted Instagram of herself on the Oscars red carpet with the caption: “Here’s a picture of my dress at the award show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now.”
This post went viral and infuriated certain communities on Twitter, who decided to comb through her social media and repost anything incriminating. This started an absurd chain reaction, in which information about celebrities was coming up left, right and center.
Photo of Andrew Garfield wearing a durag goes viral
Amid the Zoe Kravitz Twitter storm, an old photo of Andrew Garfield wearing a durag was brought up, likely in the spirit of exposing him.
The photo is old and shows the Spider-Man star wearing what looks like a pair of black pantyhose styled as a durag, with Eddie Redmayne wearing the same next to him. Where the image came from, and the context behind it, is not widely known.
The random nature of this photo going viral against the backdrop of the Twitter storm made it a hilariously legendary moment.
