Seems like Martin Sheen (who plays Uncle Ben) puts more favor to our man Andrew rather than his own son (you know who). In a recent interview with Total Film, the living legend talks a bit about Andrew who plays his nephew Peter Parker in "The Amazing Spider-Man", whom he seems to admire. Read the excerpt from Total Film below, it's so adorable!
Sheen also told us how TF favourite Andrew Garfield was shaping up as Peter Parker.
"He's quite the marvel, a very fine actor. He's a lovely guy, very disciplined, very focused.
"He called me up and said, 'This is Andrew Garfield' and I said, 'Who?' and he said, 'Uh, we're in the movie together...' and I said, 'Yeah, what part do you play?' and he said, 'Uh, I play your nephew!' I liked him instantly.
"We had a wonderful lunch and laughed and joked and he said, "Just feel free to bring whatever you like" and I said, "absolutely." The guy who's directing takes a beating because his last name is Webb! But he's lovely."
Questioned about how Garfield was handling the physical side of the role, Sheen said: "He's very athletic, he's in great shape. He plays basketball and he works out every day. He's fit. Very wiry, thin, tall, very physically focused.
"He works in a very organic way - he loves accidents, when something happens in a scene that causes him to do something else. I went through a couple of very emotional scenes and he was right there, focused.
"And he was the same off camera. He didn't slack off. No, sir! He was equally emotional off camera. Very impressive. He's going to be a huge star."
How can we not agree of what Mr Sheen told TF? I just love Andrew more and more!! "The Amazing Spider-Man" comes to theatres on July 2012!
