The actor has taken on the role of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in <em data-start=\"338\" data-end=\"350\">Artificial<\/em>, a new comedic drama from director Luca Guadagnino. Recent on-set clips from San Francisco have gone viral, showing Garfield in full \u201ctech-bro\u201d mode, complete with Altman\u2019s signature slow, hands-in-pockets walk.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"818\">Fans were quick to react online. One Reddit user posted behind-the-scenes footage, writing, <em data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"705\">\u201cAndrew Garfield nailed the Sam Altman walk!\u201d<\/em> Another confirmed the filming spot, captioning their video: <em data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"816\">\u201cGot some shots of the OpenAI movie on Lombard.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"1204\">What surprised fans even more was the location. The production reportedly shot a scene right in front of Altman\u2019s actual San Francisco residence. \u201cWhat\u2019s more interesting is they\u2019re filming in front of his house\u2026lol,\u201d one person commented. Another joked, <em data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1202\">\u201cI asked some crew if he knew about it and they basically said \u2018he does now.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1377\">TMZ and several X (formerly Twitter) users also shared the moment, showing Garfield on the phone in grey slacks and a blazer, standing outside the recognizable property.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1861\">The casting choice immediately sparked comparisons to Garfield\u2019s breakout role as Eduardo Saverin in <em data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1537\">The Social Network<\/em>. Both films center around real-life tech figures, shifting power dynamics, and the price of innovation. One viral post read: <em data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1859\">\u201cThe concept of Andrew Garfield playing you in a movie about your life so you know you and your company are about to be disgustingly successful.
