Andrew Garfield Had Doubts if He Wanted the Responsibility
Andrew Garfield recently shed some light on his initial thoughts about the Spider-Man role when he was going to audition for it. He shared that Spider-Man had always been his childhood dream, so it would be awesome if he could play the character. Obviously, he auditioned for it without thinking much about how the role could affect his entire life moving forward. But after Andrew Garfield did the audition, he questioned if he could or if he wanted to bear the fame and responsibility that came along with the character, if he was selected for the role.
“I suddenly thought, “This could happen. This could be a thing that will change my life.” Obviously, that created conflict in the sense of, “Do I want to be that recognizable? Do I want to take on this responsibility? But then, of course, I did want to! So I decided to screen test and throw my hat in the ring”

<p>But despite these thoughts, he did play the role and played it to perfection, as he was declared as the most comic-accurate Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man had a similar name given to him – he was called the people’s Spider-Man. Later, Andrew Garfield shared that before his audition, he was extremely nervous, so he used a trick to calm himself down. He thought to himself that it was not an audition for the Spider-Man role, but a short film about the wall-crawling superhero and his buddies. As he got the role to portray Spider-Man, one can only give credit to his secret technique.</p><div class='code-block code-block-3' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;'>
