Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield use the paparazzi to help charities

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield took advantage of the paparazzi in New York

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield may not like being trailed by the paparazzi as they go about their daily business, but rather than complaining about it the couple have used their fame for the greater good.

Whilst grabbing a bit to eat in New York over the weekend Emma and Andrew discovered that a group of photographers were waiting for them outside the restaurant they were in so they came up with a cunning plan.

The Amazing Spider-Man co-stars made two makeshift signs to promote a couple of their favourite charities.

The signs read: 'We just found out that there were paparazzi outside the restaurant we were eating in. So… Why not take this opportunity to bring attention to organizations that need and deserve it: www.wwo.org and gildasclubnyc.org. Have a good day!'

While the WWO is a link to the Worldwide Orphans Foundation, the Gildasclubnyc is a support network for cancer sufferers named after the late Saturday Night Live comedian Gilda Radner.

Good on them, we say!
