Actor Andrew Garfield says he was heartbroken by his Spider-Man character as his dream role was not what he imagined it would be.
The 33-year-old actor played the superhero in 2012's "The Amazing Spider-Man" followed by "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" in 2014, reported Female First.
"The story and the character were actually not the top of the priority list, ultimately. I found that really, really tricky. I signed up to serve the story, and to serve this incredible character that I've been dressing as since I was three, and then it gets compromised and it breaks your heart.
"I got heartbroken a little bit to a certain degree," Garfield said.
The actor said that despite having years of acting experience, looking back on his time, he believed he may had been too young to play the iconic character.
