It's been a busy time for actor Andrew Garfield. In addition to getting glowing reviews for his role as one of the co-founders of Facebook in
The Social Network, he's also set to star as the new
Spider-Man. But that doesn't mean he forgets who his real friends are:
He tells Britain's ShortList magazine, "I don't see it that way (as a competition). Rob's a friend of mine and I care about him a lot. We're very supportive of each other."
Flashback to 2008.. enjoy!

Well, I'm glad he didn't get the part... I LOVE Rob, but spiderman is not a good rol for him...
ReplyDeleteHe needs to be recognized as something more than the typical hero...
And going from one saga to another, is not going to help.
I can't believe Rob wanted to be Spiderman...Uh-oh, imagine him in that blue panty hose, outside with the red panties. Oh, no...and fly streched arm in the sky. No way. Maybe in a parody? No, no, no !!!
ReplyDeleteHugs all fans!
I wonder how many more of his friends will win roles just because they are his friends. Doesn't seem to go that way for women though does it? hmmmmjust sayin. seems awfully lucky that this Andrew Garfield gets a couple of spicey roles like these and we've not heard of him before...but then again as a friend of Robs he's most likely a good actor...Rob has proven that he hangs with talent not wanna bes so only time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine Rob actually wanted the role, he may have been offered the part, but I would think he would have turned it down, saying himself that he can't see himself in action roles. Although I am hearing real good things about Andrew even possibly an oscar nod for the Social Network. Rob is in good company and I think each role he selects will bring out more of his acting talent as well as being surrounded by very good actors.
ReplyDeleteI never thought Rob was in the running to be spider man,I remember reading an article about this rumour that he was going to be the next spider man..who ever wrote the article said"I don't think Robert Pattinson needs spider man,..it's more the case of 'spider man'needing Pattinson!,anyway it's good to know that they r friends,I never remembered it was him who was signed-up to the role..u see u only have to name drop or mentioned rob's name in any interview and people get u noticed ,well now I most certainly know who Andrew Garfield is now after this..only saying ..Hi to my favs and Twilola:)
ReplyDelete@twilightnan...ditto. he was never in the running but when asked about it he was kind of like...sure, i'd consider it. it was a huge rumor a few months back.
ReplyDeleteto 12:26, are you serious? Are you trying to imply that Andrew got those roles because he's friends with Rob? How obsurd. He was lucky enough to get these roles, just like Rob was lucky enough to get Twilight. They're called Breakout roles.
ReplyDeleteNo Rob was never offer the spidey role, he answer it during the RM press event. But he wd have been great in it.
ReplyDeleterob as spidey... i think not :)
