Yesterday, Variety posted an interview with Andrew Garfield about what a year he has had with his acting career. In the article, the Oscar nom says he is taking a break because he says, “I need to just be a bit ordinary for a while.”
Well, lots of outlets assumed that meant that he was going to take a lot of time off, which would be completely understandable. I mean, in the last year, we saw him in Tick Tick Boom, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Under the Banner of Heaven.
Today, when he was on The View, they asked him long his break will be for, and it is not as long as it was assumed. “I’ve been working hard, and I’ve been loving the work I’ve been doing,” he said. “I need to take a month or so. A month of a break, maybe two.”
Garfield earned that time off. But no more than that. We need as much of him on the screen as we can get because he is one of the best actors in his age group.
