“You and Jesse were so busy on that movie, and I was obviously in it for four seconds, but I spent a few days on set just watching,” Johnson, 32, told Garfield, 38. “I remember sitting down with you guys when you were having lunch one day, and you asked me loads of questions.”
“You were really nice — andJesse didn’t acknowledge me,” she continued, but noted of her costar, “He was probably in character.”

Eisenberg received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Zuckerberg inThe Social Network, including anAcademy Awardnomination for Best Actor.
Johnson had a small part in the film as Amelia Ritter while Garfield played Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, with whom Zuckerberg famously butted heads.

“I think it was atthe Oscarsor something, when [director]David Fincherdidn’t win and he should have, and I remember seeing you at the afterparty, and you were just so lovely and energetic and excited to connect, and I felt the same way,” Garfield told Johnson.
