We Live In Time.But first, some context: the film reunites the actor with filmmaker John Crowley, who previously directed Garfield 2007’s Boy A, his breakthrough role. We Live In Time follows the decades-spanning romance of Garfield’s Tobias and Florence Pugh’s Almut who fall in love, start a family, and eventually learn one of them has a life-threatening illness.In other words: Yes, this one’s going to make you cry.
A lot.Which makes it even more surprising that the movie inadvertently spawned one of the silliest memes of the year. In an early promotional image for We Live In Time, Garfield and Pugh’s characters are being all cutesy and lovey-dovey on a carousel, only to be outshone by a bug-eyed, golden horse creeping into frame.The viral auction meme has folks ready to pay top dollar to get intimate with their favorite stars.
It’s unclear how no one thought the shiny stallion wouldn’t steal the spotlight given how prominently it’s featured in the photo, but it quickly captured the public’s imagination. The talented denizens of the internet ran with it, swapping the horse’s head with the actors—and then pretty much editing into every other image imaginable.For example:idk why i did this pic.twitter.com/Ep7zcSFJCMhttps://t.co/LBNdKs7wWJ pic.twitter.com/PrllrJd6qtpic.twitter.com/GsodA8PkdTNaturally, when We Live In Time premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this past weekend, people were curious if the film’s stars had caught wind of the strange phenomenon, and just about every journalist imaginable took it upon themselves to ask.And of course they were aware! These are two funny, charming, very online stars we’re talking about here.
