Andrew Garfield said that he wore his "Amazing Spider-Man" suit in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," but he had to exercise in order to fit into it.
"I still fit bruh," Garfield, 38, said when asked if he wore the "same suit" in a recent interview with Josh Horowitz for the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast.
"I had to get in shape," Garfield added. "I had to work on it with my trainer. I was very nervous about that. I was very nervous. I was like, no one wants to see an old, fat guy in a Spider-Man costume."
Garfield first portrayed Peter Parker/Spider-Man in 2012's "The Amazing Spider-Man," which was released three years after the final installment of Tobey Maguire's Spidey trilogy hit theaters.
The "Social Network" star reprised his role as the Marvel web-slinger for 2014's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," helmed by returning director Marc Webb and costarring Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro.
The sequel received mixed reactions from fans and critics. The ending of "TASM 2" also set up a third
Garfield himself has spoken candidly about feeling "heartbroken" by the direction his franchise went in, telling Amy Adams in 2016: "Story and character were actually not top of the priority list, ultimately, and I found that really, really tricky."
Seven years after portraying Spider-Man, Garfield suited up again for "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which marked Tom Holland's third standalone "Spider-Man" film as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Both Garfield and Maguire reprised their roles after a spell cast by Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) went wrong and resulted in visitors from the multiverse entering Holland's world. In order to cure multiple villains from the Spidey franchises, the three superheroes teamed up.
Garfield's role in the film gave closure for fans of the "TASM" movies, and many praised his heartfelt performance in "NWH" as a standout.
Since the movie's release, Garfield has shared plenty of behind-the-scenes details about his experience filming "NWH" and revealed moments that were improvised.
The "Tick, Tick ... Boom!" star also spoke about working with Maguire and Holland.
"There was talk about going to the bathroom and, you know, padding around the package," Garfield told Variety in an interview. "We talked about what worked for each of us."
Garfield also said that Holland was envious of one particular feature of his superhero suit.
"Tom was jealous because I have little zippers in my suit that I can get my hands out of very easily," he said. "To work his phone, he had to use his nose because he couldn't access his hands. We would have deeper conversations, too, and talk about our experiences with the character."
