BABY PHILOSOPHY

Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro have been seeing each other for a couple of years. Those who know the pair say they’re going stronger and stronger with every passing day. It is in this connection that, when the former Spider-Man sat down for an interview for GQ, he was asked about whether he wanted to have children. His answer? ‘I look at my friends who do have kids and the beauty of it obviously, but also the struggle of it and the inescapable agony of young people’s longing to belong to the screen, rather than longing to belong to the real world. That being said, there is that kind of biological imperative, and there is that just kind of instinct, and there’s an image that you live with for so long I have, anyway of the concept of being a dad and going on that adventure.’ Phew! That’s more tangled and sticky than Spidey’s web!
