Why Andrew Garfield Doesn't Think He Wants Kids

As a dedicated follower of Andrew Garfield‘s career and personal journey, I find his reflections on parenthood deeply insightful and relatable. Being a 41-year-old actor with a publicized life, he rightfully acknowledges the responsibility that comes with raising a child, especially in his context. His candidness about his fears and apprehensions about becoming a tired dad is something many of us can empathize with.

Andrew Garfield isn’t sure he wants to fall under the banner of parenthood.

In his latest film “We Live In Time,” alongside actress Florence Pugh, the actor portraying Spider-Man reflects on the impact of his character’s fatherhood and shares that it has prompted him to ponder over the idea of having children in real life.

In an interview with Esquire on October 2nd, the 41-year-old expressed, “I’m feeling quite exhausted,” and added, “I don’t desire to be an exhausted father.

The Oscar-nominated individual also emphasized that the responsibility of nurturing a child should not be underestimated, particularly for someone like himself whose life is widely known. He pointed out that “introducing new life into my world carries a significant weight.

Previously, the actor who starred in “Tick, Tick… Boom!” had contemplated having a family, particularly following the passing of his mother, Lynn, due to pancreatic cancer in 2019.

He said in 2022 to GQ, life appears to be an ongoing process of releasing attachments. This means letting go of expectations about how a situation should turn out or what it should feel like. One of the hardest things to let go of, he admitted, is the desire for his mother to meet his children if he ever has any. But she will be there in spirit, and he knows that she’ll be present for all the significant moments.

Andrew, who fueled speculation of a romantic connection with “professional witch” Dr. Kate Tomas earlier in the year, also mentioned that he’s been contemplating about his future without children at his current age.

He expressed that choosing not to have children by the age of 40 has been an intriguing exploration for him. It’s less about defying societal norms and more about embracing a different life trajectory than the one that was traditionally assumed for him from birth. Essentially, it’s like saying, “By this point in my life, I would have done ‘x’, and I would already be a parent,” but instead, he’s found himself on an unexpected path.

“I think I have some guilt around that,” he admitted. “And obviously it’s easier for me as a man.”

But the actor seemed open to whatever is in store for him.

“Life is in charge,” he conceded. “We’ll see what happens. I’m curious.”
