Andrew Garfield revealed during an interview that he had to lie to ex and former Amazing Spider-Man co-star Emma Stone, about starring in the latest Tom Holland led Spider-Man: No Way Home film.

The 38-year-old actor went on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast on Monday and talked in detail about his character, Peter Parker's, return in Marvel's latest Spider-Man adaption. The actor talked with Josh about how hard it was to keep the Marvel secret and even had to keep his return a secret from his old co-star and ex-girlfriend, Emma Stone.  

"Emma kept on texting me. She was like, 'Are you in this new Spider-Man film?'"  Andrew began. "And I was like, 'I don't know what you're talking about.'" Andrew and Emma both starred in both Amazing Spider-Man films, with the first being released in 2012 and its sequel in 2014. The co-stars went on to date for four years in real life, after being cast as love interests in the Marvel movies.
