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

The CoxnoSpider-Man actor, who plays a father in his new movie We Live In Time co-starring Florence Pugh, admitted the role made him reconsider whether he wants kids of his own.

“I’m already a tired guy,” the 41-year-old told Esquire in an interview published Oct. 2. “I don’t want to be a tired dad.”

The Oscar nominee added that the work of raising a child is nothing for anyone to take lightly, especially someone whose life is as publicized as his, noting that “particularly bringing new life into the context of my life, there’s a heavy burden there.”

The Tick, Tick… Boom! star has grappled with the idea of starting a family before, especially after his mother, Lynn, died of pancreatic cancer in 2019.

“Life seems to be a perpetual practice of letting s--t go,” he told GQ in 2022. “Letting go of an idea of how a thing should look, or be, or feel. And that one's a big one [to let go of], because of course I would've loved my mum to have met my kids, if I'm going to have kids. And she will. In spirit. She'll be there for it. I know she's there, for all the big ones.”

Andrew—who sparked romance rumors with “professional witch”  Dr. Kate Tomas earlier this year—added that not having children at this age has made him reflect on what the future holds for him.

“Releasing myself from the societal obligation of procreating by the time I'm 40 has been an interesting thing to do with myself,” he said. “It's more about accepting a different path than what was kind of expected of me from birth. Like, ‘By this time you will have done this, and you will have at least one child’—that kind of thing.”

“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.”
