Interview
Andrew Garfield
‘The Amazing Spiderman’
Viva Press (C) 2012
He hit the jackpot when he landed the role in The Social Network, and now Andrew Garfield, 28, is in the leading role in The Amazing Spider-man. Without question, the unassuming actor is Hollywood’s next big action hero. The American-born, British-raised actor is starring opposite his alleged off-screen girlfriend, Emma Stone, who plays his romantic interest, Gwen Stacy . In person, he’s low key, quietly spoken, and isn’t like most of his brash Hollywood counterparts.
Q: How’s life? Do you have to walk around in disguise yet?
Not yet. I can walk around still. I have started talking to paparazzi. If I see them and try to form a relationship that’s of human to human it might be better than the alternative. You get defensive when you see someone. It’s kind of violating. You feel violated so you get defensive especially if you’re with people that haven’t entered that business and you want to protect that. It creates a very animal response as you’ve seen in the history of the world of paparazzi versus the people they shoot.
Q: Are you a tech geek?
No, no. I’m more a build a cabin in the woods kind of guy.
Q: How different is Peter Parker this time from the other incarnations? Can you make that judgment of what you did versus Tobey?
No. (laughter) No, really because I’m so close to it. Like, I can’t explain. I don’t know what it is I did. I can’t describe what I did, I can only say that it was personal to me, and I love Tobey (Maguire), and I loved what he did and I don’t want to compare or contrast or say what’s different. I think the point is that it’s just another chapter and we’ve brought our own personal relationship to it.
Q: What kind of training did you have to do and also in terms of the harness and in terms of the swinging are you an expert now? Can you Cirque du Soleil?
No, I wish. I got pretty good at it. I enjoyed it a lot, and it was just like being in a playground. It was just pure fun but the guys I was working with are experts and geniuses, and technical geniuses and physical geniuses, and thank God for them, you know? And they allowed me to play with it and be in as much of it as I could manage and as much they wanted me to do and we split the difference. We all split the responsibility and we owed it as much to each other as the three other stunt guys.
Q: Were you eating a lot of bad food?
Oh yeah, that was rubbish, that was tough. It was a lot of bland food and existential dilemmas with weights in my hands; it was a confusing time in my life. (laughter)
Q: How much per day did you work out?
For four months prior we did seven hours a day for four months. Like two hours was body work, and then like the next three or four hours was all the other stuff like the harness stuff and the gymnastics and the Parkour training, wirework and all that. So it was like summer camp. It was like circus school, it was just pure fun.
Q: What does that make you feel now when you look at your body?
Oh, now I’ve let myself go. Like, now I am back into my life. No, I’ve sustained it a little bit, but at the time, you get high on yourself. You really get high on yourself, you can’t help it, because it doesn’t belong to you. You’ve never associated yourself with having a body, for me anyway, I was always just a skinny kid and then when you realise you can manipulate your body, it’s empowering. But it takes so much work and you are like, ‘Fuck, I don’t want to do that ever again, I’d rather eat donuts,’ (laughs) like we all would.

A tough, street-smart private eye is hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority.Miley Cyrus: “Anytime there was drama, instead of it being on Facebook it was the cover of AOL, Google or whatever it was. I think people relate and teenagers can relate to me more than they actually think.”
Growing up fast, Miley Cyrus, 19, stars in LOL, a coming-of-age romantic comedy opposite British actor, and Burberry model, Douglas Booth, as well as Hollywood legend, Demi Moore, who plays her mother. In real life, the Tennessee-born popstar-actress is going out with Australia’s Liam Hemsworth (Hunger Games) and she chats a little about him, as well as her onscreen boyfriend and preparing for their sex scenes. She also talks candidly about growing up in the public eye, and the need to have a safe haven for her and Liam away from prying eyes. Today she’s dressed casually in jeans and a shirt, no makeup, and looks as cute as she does onscreen.
Kristen Stewart: “At the same time I haven’t gone, ‘Oh, I am a woman. Oh, I am an adult now.’”
Starring as Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart stars in her first movie since the Twilight saga phenomenon. As famous for her relationship with Rob Pattinson, which she still refuses to discuss, she’s slightly less guarded than usual about her life. In Malibu with some of her fellow cast-members, Stewart is wearing dark jeans, a long sleeved shirt, long hair and eyeliner.
Chris Hemsworth: “You can’t really put a clock or a time on it and say, ‘Okay, I’m ready to do this now. I’ll have that one.’ I’ve been blessed with the way it’s been turning out.”
Blonde and blue-eyed, Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth, 28, tipped as ‘the next Brad Pitt,’ who recently starred in Thor, opposite Natalie Portman, stars in the upcoming Snow White and Huntsman, opposite Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman. Married to Spanish actress, Elsa Pataky (Fast Five), 35, and together they are looking to raise their firstborn child, due in the near future.
Kristen Stewart: “I still find it hard to feel at ease in situations where people know so much about you…”
ANAHEIM/LOS ANGELES – The Kristen Stewart parade marches on. The sensationally gifted Twilight actress raises her game to even greater heights in her new film, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, which is a revisionist retelling of the classic fairytale. Stewart soars as Snow White, investing the porcelain princess with a feral charm and dark gravitas that goes well beyond anything in Bella’s imagination. Though she seems to have been part of our cultural fabric for ages, Stewart has only just turned 22. She’s still massively uncomfortable with her celebrity and is undoubtedly the most nervous interview subject one could conjure, but in front of the cameras she disappears into her performance with the grace that only the best actresses can achieve.
