Andrew Garfield: Spider-Man Is Important for 'Skinny Boys'

Andrew Garfield keeps warm in a beanie while walking around NYC on Saturday (January 7). Below are new stills from the 28-year-old actor’s upcoming action flick, The Amazing Spider-Man. Earlier in the week, more new stills were released. “I’ve been thinking about the responsibility of [playing Spider-Man] since I read the comics, and what the character’s always meant to me,” Andrew told Empire (via Comic Book Movie). “He’s a reassuring character, and a character who I think is important, for whatever reason, for skinny boys around the world,” Andrew added. “I think it’s compelling he’s a teenage superhero. It’s an interesting dilemma to be going through. That’s a very cool and specific struggle to try to capture.” 10+ stills inside of The Amazing Spider-Man
