Andrew Garfield has revealed that he is in 'heaven' playing Peter Parker in the new Spider Man movie.
The actor has landed the lead role in the reboot of the popular franchise with Marc Webb taking over directing duties.
And Garfield admits that it has been an emotional experience for him.
Speaking to Capital FM the actor said: "We have such an amazing cast, so I'm in heaven playing this role. I feel like a kid in the candy store, I'm one lucky boy I tell you.
"It's bizarre [wearing the Spider-Man suit] and I have to not look at my face. It's strange and surreal to be wearing it and I won't lie, I actually shed a tear when I first wore the spandex for the first time.
"I didn't expect to get so emotional but I did."
It's been a busy year for the actor as he has been heavily praised for his performance in The Social Network, picking up a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Golden Globes.
He will be back on the big screen later this year with Never Let Me Go, which sees him team up with Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan.
