Andrew Garfield recently recalled his experience portraying the role of the web crawler in two of the "The Amazing Spider-Man" films. The actor looked back and shared the beautiful moments, as well as the sad moments that happened in his life during his involvement with the film.

In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Garfield revealed that along with the good things that came with his portrayal of "The Amazing Spider-Man," there were also the "disenchanting" experiences.

"There were beautiful things about it and also privileged things about it which I struggled with and then some really disenchanting things that happened," he said.

The 32-year-old then recalled what fame brought to his life following his portrayal of Spider-Man. Garfield realized the strains of being a celebrity and came to a certain conclusion.

"I started to feel the separation of myself from the world and from my community and it really hit me in a very sad and scary way, and I thought: 'Oh f**k, I can't live like this. I can't be this thing that I'm being asked to be. Its just not real. If I chase that then I'm not being true to myself, and if I act as if I am somehow better, we all know that's bulls**t.' I was really scared to be on some kind of forced pedestal," he told The Independent.

The actor then shared his opinion on how Hollywood values its movie industry. Garfield told The Independent that a film can only be a success if it makes good, and not because of how it brings meaning to its viewers.

"Hollywood is the epicentre of worldly values where a piece of art is judged, not on how many lives it touches or what change it makes, but as long as that film makes money. Only then is it a success. Or as long as that film gets awards then it's a success," he said.

However, despite the negative experience Garfield shared, he also learned some valuable lessons from his experience being "The Amazing Spider-Man." Considering it as his "words to live by," Andrew said that experience made him aware that some things have the capacity to separate him from the world.

The actor had previously told Indie Wire that working on "The Amazing Spider-Man" was like being in "prison." He also expressed his gladness that he no longer has to portray the character again in the Sony and Marvel produced film in 2016. That role has now gone to young star Tom Holland.
