Andrew Garfield has revealed he’s taking a break from acting as he wants to be “ordinary for a while”.
Opening up in a candid interview with Variety, the actor talked about stepping back from acting as he said: “I’m going to rest for a little bit.”
“I need to recalibrate and reconsider what I want to do next and who I want to be, and just be a bit of a person for a while,” he explained.
The actor admitted he feels “privileged” to be in this industry, but that this year’s awards season was a tiring one.
Andrew was nominated for multiple awards this year for his role in Tick, Tick… Boom!
The 38-year-old added: “I need to just be a bit ordinary for a while.”
Andrew has starred in some of the biggest movies of the past year, such as Spider Man: No Way Home and The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
Before he takes a break from acting, the British star will appear in an upcoming miniseries called Under the Banner of Heaven.
Under the Banner of Heaven is based on on Krakauer’s 2003 true-crime book of the same name.
The series will follow a Mormon detective, played by Andrew, investigating the brutal murder of a mother (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter by fundamentalist followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
