## Summary

Andrew Garfield has disputed Sam Altman’s account of meeting him while filming Artificial, the forthcoming film about Altman’s brief removal and return as OpenAI chief executive in 2023. Garfield says he has never met or waved to Altman, leaving the two accounts in conflict.

Altman previously said he encountered the production by chance, waved to Garfield and found the moment strange. Garfield says the crew was filming outside Altman’s home and was told he was not there; he saw a security guard but no Altman, and says he had no body double. An OpenAI representative told GQ that Altman was home and repeated that he waved to Garfield.
