The internet was ablaze after Andrew Garfield's photos from his GQ Man of the Year 2022 interview dropped on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. On Wednesday, the British actor will be honored at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in association with BOSS, held in London.
In the interview, the actor, who will be turning 40 next August, opened up about the pressure he felt to have kids at his age, the impact of his mother's passing, and his contentment with his "period of not-doing" as he referred to his break from filming.
"It’s more about accepting a different path than what was kind of expected of me from birth."
The Golden Globe winner confessed how the passing of his late mother, Lynn, who succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2019, greatly affected his perspective and made him reimagine his space in the world.
Opening up about his recent critical successes, Andrew Garfield noted that he felt "a semblance of satisfaction" with how his recent works, such as Tick, Tick… Boom! or Angels in America, and even his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home, turned out.
However, for now, the actor admitted that he’s content with enjoying other people’s work. He also admitted that theater is his first love, stating:
"If I can do theatre for the rest of my life to an audience of 50 people a night, I know that my life is going to be satisfying."
His photoshoot took the internet by storm, as fans took to social media to rave about the actor. Some fans drew a connection with Friends' Ross Geller's iconic leather pants and noted that Andrew Garfield looks better than the character did.
