Andrew Garfield is taking a step back from his acting career. "The Amazing Spider-Man" star spoke with Variety about the need to take a break from acting and "be a bit ordinary for a while". "I’m going to rest for a little bit," Garfield told the outlet. "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.

"We had to keep on taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of the story."
