Andrew Garfield said on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast that he lied to his "Amazing Spider-Man" co-star Emma Stone when she asked him whether he made a cameo in "Spider-Man: No Way Home."
The truth was finally revealed when the movie came out and audiences saw both Garfield and Tobey Maguire, who played Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's original "Spider-Man" trilogy, reprising their roles.
"Emma kept on texting and she was like, 'Are you in this new 'Spider-Man' film?'" Garfield told Horowitz when asked if he had told Stone or "The Amazing Spider-Man" director Marc Webb. "And I was like, 'I don't know what you're talking about.' She was like, 'Shut up. Just tell me.' And I'm like, 'I honestly don't know.' I kept it going even with her. It's hilarious."

When asked if he eventually told Stone the truth, Garfield said: "No, and then she saw it. She was like, 'You're a jerk.' I didn't want to tell anyone. I took it super seriously. I told no one."
Garfield said: "It was rather stressful but also weirdly enjoyable. It was like this massive game of Werewolf that I was playing with journalists and with people guessing, and it was very fun."
Werewolf is a party game where members of the group are chosen to be werewolves and must hide that identity whilst eliminating the rest of the group.
"I will say the image of my catching [Zendaya's] MJ — that was really beautiful and it kind of sold me on the whole thing," Garfield said. "You know, the spirit that Zendaya brings to MJ is so heartfelt and pure and loving, and Emma brought that similar unique spirit to Gwen."
