Actor Andrew Garfield was recently featured in British GQ, shedding light on his recent successes: an Emmy nomination, a Golden Globe win and projects that have garnered much buzz for the actor.
Garfield also opened up about the recent loss of his mother, the pressure to have kids, and experimenting with plant medicine.
However, upon the issue's release, fans were focused on something completely different.

The Oscar-nominated actor graces the cover of the magazine's Man of the Year issue fully clothed, but the rest of the photoshoot that lies between the pages reveals much more of Garfield and has taken the internet by storm.

Garfield admitted that he's enjoying his break, fresh off of 14 straight months of filming three movies: Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tick, Tick...Boom!, and The Eyes of Tammy Faye, as well as the TV miniseries Under the Banner of Heaven.
He admitted:
"I'm in a real period of not-doing."
"The usual aggressive, ambitious, driven heartbeat, rapping at the door has subsided for a while."
The 39-year-old actor also talked about the pressure to have children:
"Releasing myself from the societal obligation of procreating by the time I'm 40 has been an interesting thing to do with myself... where do I start with why it didn't happen?"
"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."
We're glad Garfield has found a way to relax during his break. As for the rest of us, we may manage our stress a bit differently...
