On the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home, love was officially born: no, not romantic love. Let’s talk about the great friendship between Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield!

Andrew Garfield, in every interview he has given over the past couple of months, has done nothing but speak well – if not very well – of his experience of him on the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

In particular, an affectionate friendship seems to have arisen between the two most “mature” spideys: Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. In fact, in the last interview, Andrew spoke in a very emotional way about his experience on the set of No Way Home in the company of his colleagues.

The interview that thrilled fans and even Andrew himself is the one released on The Jess Cagle Show, in which he opened up a lot about his admiration for Tobey Maguire. The return to Spider-Man: No Way Home of the original Spider-Man has in fact moved Andrew, a big fan of his acting skills. 

Garfield confesses that he was very disappointed with Tobey’s choice to leave the screen, has always found him a great actor. Luckily for him, the sweet Amazing Spider-Man had the opportunity, a few weeks before the shooting, to work on their respective characters with Tobey, building a deep friendship.

Here’s what Andrew Garfield said about his experience on the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home: “I felt protected. It was really very strange. I didn’t feel like we were shooting this epic Spider-Man movie. Instead, I felt like Tobey and I was working on a relationship between our characters through imagination and play. 

The atmosphere was very, very playful as if we were two friends playing Spider-Man imagining when it would be cool to do this or that. I think that he too, through this experience, reconnected with acting, his love for it, as if time had never passed! “
