Andrew Garfield, a talented actor, has made a remarkable rise to fame in the previous two decades. While his professional life is flourishing, there is one part of his personal life that, at 41, still causes concern. Andrew Garfield turned 40 last year, and after portraying a parent in his most recent film, ‘We Live in Time’, he began to consider becoming a father soon. 

Andrew Garfield was well aware of the importance of that life change. Also, he believed his busy life schedule might not make him the most present parent, even when he was home. Andrew Garfield (born on August 20, 1983, in Los Angeles, California, United States) is an American-born English cinema and stage actor famous for adding his characters with sensitivity and feeling. He became an international celebrity for his roles in movies like The Social Network (2010) and The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). Andrew Garfield started his acting career onstage.

Andrew Garfield was born in Los Angeles into a middle-class Jewish home. He began acting at an early age, joining a youth theater workshop and performing in plays. Andrew Garfield graduated from the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London in 2004. Andrew Garfield explained that having a child should never be taken lightly, especially if the individual is a celebrity who may subject their child to constant public scrutiny.

“I’m already a tired guy. I don’t want to be a tired dad,” the 40-year-old actor stated. Andrew Garfield was attempting to “release himself” from any “societal obligation” to have a child by the time he turned 40. However, he finally conceded that it is easier for him as a guy to have a child later in life. Garfield has already spoken up about his experiences as a dad. In a 2022 GQ interview, he claimed to feel pressured to have children by the age of forty. Andrew Garfield told the outlet that he is celebrating his 40th birthday with his high school friends. 

Andrew Garfield’s Stage Biography

Andrew Garfield’s initial stage performances were the Manchester Royal Exchange’s productions of Barry Hines’s Kes. He won the MEN (Manchester Evening News) Theatre Award for Outstanding Rookie for his part as Billy, and Romeo and Juliet (2005). In 2006 he got the coveted Evening Standard. In the 2020s, Andrew Garfield played a social media influencer in Gia Coppola’s satire on Internet culture, Mainstream (2020), and Jim Bakker in The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021), a film on the infamous televangelical pair. 

While Andrew Garfield was filming the latter, his mother died from pancreatic illness and later commented about how he was able to channel his sadness into his next part as Rent author and composer Jonathan Larson in Tick, tick…Boom! (2021). For the movie, Lin-Manuel Miranda modified Larson’s autobiographical script concerning Andrew Garfield’s battle to become a successful artist.

Larson, who died tragically from an aortic aneurysm at the age of 35 in 1996, never got the opportunity to achieve that ambition while still alive. Garfield had deep singing for the film and was nominated for another Oscar. Andrew Garfield will take on Jeb Pyre, a Mormon investigator, in the 2022 film version of Jon Krakauer’s novel Under the Banner of Heaven.

Final Thoughts

Andrew Garfield doesn’t “want to be a tired dad” and is not interested in having children. He describes the “heavy burden” he may face because of his work path if he brings “new life into the context of my life.” Garfield believes that as an actor and well-known celebrity, his personal life is frequently in the spotlight, subject to relentless scrutiny from the public, the press, and tabloids.
