Andrew Garfield was quoted as saying that playing Spider Man was his dream job. But he admits, “This role had been something I’d always, always wanted to do. Then you realise it’s like any other acting job.” He continued to explain that he probably never be entirely happy as far as his career is concerned. “Some days it’s great, others you feel lost. And I’d always felt that if I got certain roles then I’d be set for life, emotionally, professionally. It would be Utopia. But you never get to Utopia. The dream has become reality.”
The actor, who was bullied at primary school, said that playing 17-year-old high school geek Peter Parker “wasn’t actually much of a stretch”. He explained: “It’s a horrible time of your life. But I still feel like I’m in that chapter. I’m unsure, insecure, awkward in my body.”
