Hollywood's new Spider-Man Andrew Garfield is adamant he will never fall out with Robert Pattinson over a role - because the two actors are genuinely good friends.
The two British stars were both in the running to step into Tobey Maguire's superhero suit for the upcoming movie, but it was The Social Network star Garfield who eventually won the coveted part.
But Garfield insists there is no animosity between himself and Pattinson over the decision - and he has vowed to support his pal's career.
He tells Britain's ShortList magazine, "I don't see it that way (as a competition). Rob's a friend of mine and I care about him a lot. We're very supportive of each other."

I really like Andrew, Spidey 2.0 as I call him. All of Rob's friends are good guys. Nice.
Btw, I do not think the interview is fake. The writer just didn't do much research on his piece thinking Rob was seriously running for Spidey. Rob's management denied this last year. And Andrew answering to the 'competition' question was just about the fair game that they are both British, same age and are both actors - and not for Maguire's vacated spot.

I think Rpattz is a friendly guy..... Wait, VOTE FOR ROBERT PATTINSON AND KRISTEN STEWART AT SCREAM AWARDS! (Kristen is gonna be there)
I REALLY LOVE THIS SITE! GO ROBSTEN! Rob has many friends but mostly british, like Ed Westwick, Tom Sturridge, Andrew and many more.. LOVE YA ROBERT! And oh yes, i had already voted rob in scream so you should too, not only rob but kristen too!
It's nice that he has such close friends and that they all stick up for one another. But I didn't think the hole Spiderman rumour was true, I thought Rob himself had denied it in an interview, or am I wrong?
Really??? Rob was up for Spiderman??!! IMO.. Do not see him doing that role at all....a vampire and spiderman...ummmm no
Glad they remain good friends.
"in the running for spiderman"?
Uh, really? Somehow I dont believe that at all!
You gotta love somebody who loves Rob. Nice guy. Must be a Brit thing. All the dudes I've met in Cali are douchey.
(they're really not, I just like to use the word "douchey"!)
@Hope I think you're right. He would be something to look at in the outfit, though.
I don't think he'd want to be involved in another franchise.
Yea, I don't think Rob was ever in the running for Spidey at all. The media is always trying so either a)make up a story b)make a story have more drama than it does c)try to start drama where there is none d)do not have correct information but run with it anyway e)take things out of context and make it seem like a true/correct story. I believe Rob was asked about the "rumor" that he was in the running for Spiderman at the Remember Me UK premiere and he JOKED that he'd like to play a superhero that wore a mask so he wouldn't have to work out. So of course that was construed that he actually was in the running. I can't see him being interested in that role but its cool that Andrew is in it. I love how he and Andrew are friends. I love how all of Rob's friends are loyal to him and he to them. I think Rob is happy for any of his friends that have success in their careers too. Love the Brit pack and SO LOVE Rob!!
yeah even if he was in the running i dont see rob as spider man. Can you imagine?
well,I never thought that Rob was at all in the running to star in the next spider man movie.I do remember an article mentioning Rob and the spider man .".Robert pattinson doesn't need Spider man".."it is more like Spider Man needing Pattinson"!!anyway,i'm glad he is a friend of Rob,and now i know ..he is the next spider man because of Rob..see u only have to drop ,Rob pattinson's name in any of ur conversations/interviews ,and people instantly take notice..hehehe..hi to my favs and twilola!..@Calihi27..I totally agree in everything in ur comments!!!
@Twilightnan Of course Andrew didn't get the role because of Rob. I reread your comment and couldn't tell if you were making a joke. Anyway, to be fair to this young actor he is very talented as well. Ive seen him in a couple of movies (Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Boy A), also I don't think he is the name dropper-type of friend. He was just answering to a question. I know we have a running joke to all the name droppers but in this case it does not apply. lol.
And as I cleared in my comments, Rob wasn't in the running for Spiderman.
Andrew Garfield <3 I saw him in Boy A this week. And in The Social Network last week. He's a very good actor.
WAAWWW, you added a pic with Tom :)
I don't think any of the britpacks are name-droppers. They only mention Rob's name because they were asked questions pertaining Rob. The britpacks are a talented bunch and support each other and Rob is very lucky to have them at his side.
No one can hold a candle to our beautiful Rob!!!!!!!!!!!!! These comparison pics show that masterfully. And we know Rob would never seriously consider himself for Spiderman.
How old are these NÃkes anyway? Are they the same or a pair out of a bunch? Do they travel with him or he has a pair on each side of the pont?
So many crucial questions and I have just waken up.
@Dina They are the same pair bb. I actually miss them. lol I'm a big Nike fan.
@Shaui, thank you for filling me in LOL LOL LOL The things you know;).His things are all for keeps. LOL.
@Shaui/Robstenation,Hi..I am sorry if my recent comments came across as implying that Andrew Garfield got the spider man role just because he knew rob,I know that is not the case,I should have made it clearer that this current posting on your blog and Andrew mentioning that Rob is his friend,.. reminded me that he will be the next spider man,because to be honest I never remembered his name or his looks sort of never really have an impact on me after reading he was going to get the spidy role.I have never seen him in his previous role so I can't comment on his acting ability,but it seems he has got a breakout role in this new flick 'The Social Network'as a Maths wizzard ,so sorry to Andrew and his fans if my previous comments caused any concerns it was not my intention, I love this site and how it is drama free so it's not my intention to start any heated debate..hugs to all!
