Andrew Garfield spoke about being a fan of Tobey Maguire's "Spider-Man" films in a new interview.
On the "Graham Norton Show," Garfield said he used to practice Maguire's lines in the mirror.
"He's my Spider-Man," Garfield said of Maguire during an appearance on the latest episode of "The Graham Norton Show," released on Friday. "I would practice his lines in the mirror when I was in drama school. I was very high at the time."
Garfield said that his friend — who he identified as Terry McGinnis — would "crack up" and the impressions and "would look at me like, 'Yeah, you'll never play Spider-Man, Andy.' And then here we are."
Maguire portrayed Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy released between 2002 and 2007, costarring Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson and Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin.
In various interviews, Garfield has said that of the three stars to play Spider-Man in a big screen, live-action project, he liked Maguire's version of the character the most.
In a video segment for GQ called "Actually Me," published in November, Garfield said that Maguire is his favorite because that's "my childhood."

"I think I watched that first 'Spider-Man' film back-to-back like three times with my friend Terry McGinnis and we were just incredibly high and we would do the lines to each other," he said.
