Actor Andrew Garfield, who has appeared in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’, ‘Tick, Tick a Boom!’, and the crime series ‘Under the Banner of Heaven’, said he’s going to take some time off from work. According to ‘Deadline’, the 38-year-old actor told People magazine that he’s looking forward to being out of the spotlight. “I’m actually really happy and excited to be very quiet and very still and take some time to just be,” Garfield said. “It feels very important right now, especially after a lot of output, a lot of being out in the world, and giving a lot of energy to things that I’m very passionate about, but I have to kind of refill the well so that I can carry on authentically carry on without it feeling like I have to keep up with the Joneses in some way.

“Like it’s so tempting to live in that way of just always onto the next thing. But actually, and I know it’s a privilege that I get to even consider that, to actually take time,” says the actor. Garfield credited gymnast Simone Biles as a beacon for the time off, noting: “I’m very inspired by her saying, ‘Bope, I’m not going to do that vault. I’m going to endanger myself if I vault today’. I find that really an incredible example.” He also said American rapper Kendrick Lamar’s hiatus was important in his decision.
