He described this decision as his first act of defiance against his father’s value system, which stressed success and gold medals over joy, comfort, and pleasure. Garfield’s father was a swimming coach when he quit gymnastics. He also tried swimming but quit. 

The actor explained that it felt like a Truman Show experience, where he sensed there was something more out there. He couldn’t identify what that “more” was, but he knew it existed. He added that if it didn’t exist, he would be in big trouble.

Garfield told the outlet that his mother, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2019, inspired him to start acting.

How Did Andrew Garfield Get His Start?

Garfield was born in Los Angeles to a middle-class Jewish family. As a boy, he relocated to Epsom, Surrey, United Kingdom, with his parents, Richard and Lynn Garfield, and older brother, Benjamin. 

He began acting at an early age, participating in youth theater workshops and shows. In 2004, he graduated from London’s prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Garfield’s first stage roles included “Barry Hines’s Kes” (2004).

His career skyrocketed after he played Eduardo Saverin in “The Social Network” (2010), a film about the foundation of Facebook. He was nominated for a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe for his performance. The movie critic Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised him for “raising the emotional stakes” of the film.

Is Andrew Garfield Married?

Andrew Garfield is not married. However, he has been seen recently with Kate Tomas, a spiritual adviser. Though Garfield keeps his personal life quiet, he has had some prominent romances over the years, including a long-term one with his “Spider-Man” co-star Emma Stone in the 2010s. 

He started dating model Alyssa Miller in late 2021, but the relationship ended in April 2022, according to a source. Garfield and Tomas were spotted holding hands while on a date with Bridgers and Burnham in Malibu, California, in March 2024.

Does Andrew Garfield Have Any Upcoming Movies?

Andrew Garfield has several amazing projects lined up for his fans. He co-stars with Florence Pugh in “We Live in Time,” a film directed by John Crowley that promises a mix of humor, drama, and romance. 

Garfield will also star in “Voyagers,” directed by Sebastián Lelio, in which he and Daisy Edgar-Jones examine the romance between Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan during NASA’s Golden Record project.

Produced by FilmNation Entertainment, the film will explore the relationship against the backdrop of NASA’s 1977 interstellar probe mission.

Many fans believe that Andrew Garfield’s return to the Spider-Man costume in 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will not be the final time he wears the outfit on the big screen.

Garfield’s “Peter 3” would most likely emerge in Tom Holland’s upcoming “Spider-Man 4’ film or “Avengers: Secret Wars”, which is supposed to be full of multiverse antics.

Rumors have circulated that his rendition of Spider-Man may have a future in the MCU or the adjacent Sony Spider-Man Universe, although he is unlikely to headline “The Amazing Spider-Man 3”.

Does Andrew Garfield Have Kids?

Andrew Garfield does not have any children. In recent interviews, he has expressed reservations about becoming a father. The TV star does not “want to be a tired dad” and reflects on his decision not to father children.

He describes the “heavy burden” he may bear as a result of his chosen work route if he ever decides to bring “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 constant scrutiny by the public, press, and tabloids.

Hence, the actor expressed reservations about becoming a father.
