Now chatting exclusively with
95.8 Capital FM, actor Andrew Garfield, star of Marc Webb's
Spider-Man reboot talks a bit about the overall progress, experience, and the emotional feeling of donning the tights of the webslinger and more. Even touching on learning early that he'd been cast, Garfield says:
So what does it feel like to wear the infamous red and blue suit?
“It’s bizarre and I have to not look at my face. It’s strange and surreal to be wearing it and I won’t lie I actually shed a tear when I first wore the spandex for the first time. I didn’t expect to get so emotional but I did.”
And what about the Christmas season, we wondered if Andrew can eat whatever he wants?
"It’s tough man, I have to keep watching what I eat and I love eating and eating the worst things. It’s really really hard, but I know that I have this responsibility to so many people to stay fit and trim and to basically not get obese!”
So how did Andrew feel on hearing the news via text at 4am, in Los Angeles?
“I was going in to shoot my second day on set on Spider-Man and at first I was upset for having to get up so early, I probably looked miserable but on the inside I was seriously excited. But it was a lovely and surreal day and my co-star Emma Stone was also nominated for “Easy A” and we had our first scene together that day, so it was a really special day.”
So did Andrew’s ['Social Network] co-star Justin Timberlake also congratulate him?
“Yeah, he sent me a couple of texts saying that he’s so proud of me and Jesse and something equally cool. He’s the most supportive and loving friend and what we pride ourselves on is the fact that we’ve also been nominated for a several ensemble categories and that really means a lot to us.”
