Andrew Garfield Suffers Through Torture in New 'Silence' Trailer

If you were wondering why Andrew Garfield was sporting a bushy beard for many months in early 2015, your answer is in the trailer for his movie Silence!

The 33-year-old actor stars in Martin Scorsese‘s new movie alongside Adam Driver and Liam Neeson. The film is set to hit theaters on December 23, just in time to be considered this awards season.

Silence tells the story of two Christian missionaries (Garfield and Driver) who face the ultimate test of faith when they travel to Japan in search of their missing mentor (Neeson) – at a time when Christianity was outlawed and their presence forbidden.
