Andrew Garfield was overjoyed at landing the role of Spider-Man - but has to keep reminding himself he isn't the superhero in real life.
Andrew Garfield was felt like he was "floating" in a bubble after landing the lead in 'Spider-Man'.
The 27-year-old actor was thrilled to be told he would be playing the superhero in the upcoming installation of the superhero film franchise, but had to remind himself he was only playing the role and not becoming Spider-Man in real life.
He said: "When I found out about being cast in 'Spider-Man', it was like this bubble developed around me. I was floating in it for a while. And then, suddenly, it evaporated, and I was like, 'Well, I'm just an actor. I don't get to actually be Spider-Man.' But maybe I'll have moments where I'm convinced that I am and those periods of fantasy will get me through."
However, the hype around his role as Peter Parker and his alter-ego have helped Andrew understand the problems his new character would face.
He said: "I think it's going to be a little bit more complicated than what I imagined. And, of course, I'm going to feel a great pressure, which might be one of Peter Parker's great struggles, in having to live up to this thing that he is supposed to be or symbolises. It will be interesting. I think the more I can tie into my own reality, the better and more enriching it will be for everyone involved."
