'The Social Network' actor makes the joke when sharing how excited he was upon learning that he has landed the coveted part in 'The Amazing Spider-Man'.
has joked he celebrated his "Spider-Man" casting by running around naked. The 27-year-old actor, who has replaced
Tobey Maguire as the web-slinging hero in the upcoming fourth movie, "
The Amazing Spider-Man", couldn't believe it when he received the news that he had landed the part he coveted since he was four years old.
"I just blacked out and ran around naked for a while or something," he joked. "Ha! I tried to climb walls and stuff and broke my wrist, no not really. I never expected to get it because it's something that you dream about when you're four years old and how often does reality match up with a dream."
"Never, but I've been very, very lucky. You never think you're going to get a chance to portray a symbol that has meant so much to you since you were old enough to understand the concept of justice. It's just an incredible thing."
However despite his excitement, "
The Social Network" star is trying not to think about the new role too much because it will "freak" him out. He said, "I've been very lucky and if I analyze it too much it freaks me out. I'm an actor and I love being an actor and it's very difficult to be a working actor, whether it's work that you're proud of or not."
