Andrew Garfield makes surprise appearance at drag queen revue

Andrew Garfield surprised audience members at a drag queen revue on Tuesday night (30May17) by donning a wig and lip syncing to Whitney Houston onstage.

The Hacksaw Ridge actor spent his night off from theater play Angels in America at the Troxy venue in London with his co-stars Russell Tovey and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett watching the RuPaul's Drag Race - Queens Werq The World Tour show, which features former and current castmembers of the hit TV series.
