00:00When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Spider-Man.
00:02And the first time I ever got a girlfriend,
00:04when I was comfortable enough around her, I was like,
00:06hey, do you want to maybe do like the Spider-Man kiss thing,
00:09like upside down?
00:09And yeah, I did it.
00:11Yeah, it was awesome.
00:12We were just talking about the moment I got my first callback.
00:31And we really thought like, oh wow,
00:32maybe I could actually get this job.
00:35And here we are today promoting Spider-Man 3.
00:37I am blown away.
00:42He's a superhero in real life, really.
00:56Oh.
00:56Ah, Spider-Man.

01:26On the stage of Billy Elliot, I played Michael, Billy's best friend and he required a lot
01:32of timing and I always asked my dad about how long should I leave this and stuff like
01:37that.
01:38The Young British Performer of the Year, yeah, it's pretty awesome.
02:08Being part of this franchise has been a dream of mine and I always wanted to be in the Avengers
02:37world and to be in these movies and if I was lucky enough, I'd like to have played
02:41a superhero.
02:42I just can't believe how lucky I am that I get to play Spider-Man.
02:44This is what it's like filming in a platter.
03:34I do this thing when I'm around him for a while where I speak with British inflections
03:45but not the British accent.
03:47Yeah.
03:48Ever since I got bit by that spider, I've only had one week where my life has felt normal.
04:01That was when you found out.
04:22My contract's up so finally I'm allowed to do things that I couldn't do before.
04:26As soon as I finished, I went snowboarding and I have an amazing photo of me FaceTiming
04:31you with blood all over my face.
