short biography
Andrew Garfield was born in 1983. It happened almost at the very end of April - on the 21st. The ancestors of the popular actor moved to the States from Russia and Poland. And it was in America that it was decided to change the name. From Garfinkelns they became Garfields. Andrew's family did not live long in America. When the guy was 3 years old, the parents, taking their children with them, left for England, where they settled in a small town called Epsom.
In his early years, Andrew did not even think about the fact that you can become a popular actor. Most of all, the guy was interested in a sports career. He did gymnastics, swam in the pool. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the guy's parents were far from creativity. They ran their own company providing interior design services. However, his own business failed. As a result, my father became a swimming coach, and my mother got a job in a kindergarten.
In addition to Andrew, the parents raised another child. He connected his life with the medical field. The parents hoped that the youngest son would also choose some serious profession. They wanted him to become an entrepreneur. Therefore, Andrew received his education at a prestigious school. However, during his studies, he began to attend a theater club. It was at this time that the guy thought about a career in cinema.
He continued his studies in London, entering the Central School of Speech and Drama. The diploma was successfully defended in 2004. It was during this period that his creative career began.
