- THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
 |
| Andrew Garfield is the New Spiderman |
Andrew Garfield recently discussed the web-slinging reboot
with The Times Of India, and the British star had some interesting things to
say about the way he prepared for the role…
“There is the first kiss between Peter and his love
interest, Gwen Stacy,” said Garfield when asked whether there were any iconic
moments to look forward to. “I got to practise for that - although on my own, I
must add! I practised kissing on my hand, arms and in the mirror. I was just
hoping I'll remember how to kiss when the moment comes and not fumble.”
Nice to see the man has been putting the hours in. As for
his efforts to understand the character, Garfield highlighted Spidey’s orphan
status as one of the key components of his persona.
“I have tried to explore Peter Parker as an orphan,” says
Garfield. "Orphans, I feel, are the strongest human beings on the planet.
The amount of things they have to deal with in their lives is amazing.”
“I have tried to capture how Peter copes with the feelings
of being an underdog, his confusions and his self-doubt ,” continues Garfield.
“This, I hope, has brought a certain empathy and sensitivity to his character
that helps him become the hero that he eventually turns out to be.”
So how will his Spidey compare to Tobey Maguire's
incarnation? "I love the work that Toby did," says Garfield.
"I've watched him in the earlier three movies as a fan and I feel that
what he did was perfect. I would never even begin to compare myself with him,
and I feel it's not the point either. This film is another chapter in the
legacy of Spider-Man and my responsibility was to remain true to the core of
the character . I've tried to do it as best as I could."
Big talk Andrew, but you did still admit to snogging your
own arm. The Amazing Spider-Man opens on 4 July 2012.
