In case anyone ever needed an argument in favor of making superhero costumes out of spandex–or perhaps an argument against it too–Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield has provided both.
Garfield, 38, stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to discuss some of his recent acting projects, including his Oscar-nominated performance in tick…tick…BOOM! The pair also got onto the subject of his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which he played opposite current Spider-Man Tom Holland and former Spider-Man Tobey Maguire.
According to Garfield, before the three even shot their scenes together, Marvel Studios asked them to do a photoshoot recreating an infamous meme. The image in question shows three versions of Spider-Man pointing at one another. Though the pose seemed simple, according to Garfield, it proved more distracting than anyone anticipated.
Related: One actor wanted this beloved Spider-Man character to be queer. Marvel nixed the idea.
“Me and Tobey landed on set, they put us in the costumes, and they said, ‘We’re going to do the meme really quickly,’” he told Kimmel. “It was before we had shot anything.”
“We were all kind of thrown onto a set and told to point at each other,” he continued. “I think we got one good shot, and that’s [the one released] because the rest of the time, we were just laughing, trying not to stare at each other’s crotches. Just comparing bulges.”
We won’t ask what happened after the shoot, or how that might have affected the relationship between the three actors. We’ll just use our imaginations.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is available for purchase on Amazon, VUDU & YouTube.

Love him too…or ugh, rather I used to. Does anyone else feel like marketing/preview people – whatever you call them – need to be “schooled” a bit these days like I do?! They showed the freaking long ass, seemingly endless same previews for “Super Pumped” SO.WAY.TOO.MANY.TIMES. before it came out. They also stupidly kept doing so before shows I was “tuning” in to watch so often and for so long before showing the show I actually wanted to see and was attempting to watch, that my once hot sex dreams of JGL turned into nightmares of wanting end him. To this day I’ve only made it through one ep. of “Super Pumped”, and though it was well acted and entertaining, I’m still SO sick of him in that role from all the damn, forever, and on my way previews, I can’t want to bring myself back to watch anymore!!!???????? Much like endlessly repeated/over reported news that networks force feed us over and over again, good lawd stop berating ya with previews and trailers ad nauseam! There’s something to be said about a little freaking mystery guys!!!
**Just for clarification here: I do realize that that last statement – of my crae lil/big diatribe – is really only applicable to the latter, not the former about the news as obviously the “ignant” ?’s would go on a new tirade. Most likely claiming that it further proves they’re idiotic asses are in fact correct, as they continue to endlessly spew disgusting, uneducated bs about vaccines being fake or just “flu” shots (most recent imbecilic bs I recently read) and COVID being a myth (PS I live in Massachusetts ??????…and we’re doomed), so many stupid asshats here saying these things I don’t even want to leave my house even now after WFH for over two years!**
Whoa tangent! Sorry. So yeah pls stop with excessive previews and such…I’ll work on my insane verbosity. However, I don’t think either (networks and def not ME…ha), will be successful in these endeavors.?????

What he said was, they were trying not to stare at each other’s bulges.
The real Bruce
For me, I think the best Spider Man was Nicholas Hammond. A while ago, but still pretty hot. Anyone else remember?
