Joe Jonas’s ‘destroyed’ after missing starring role
Joe Jonas has spoken out about losing the role of Spider-Man to Andrew Garfield.
The possible web-slinger, 33, said the part was ‘the one that got away’, adding he was ‘destroyed’, after he failed to get the part.
However, Jonas recognised Garfield was the man for the job.
Asked for the podcast Just For Variety With Marc Malkin about which film part was “the one that got away”, Jonas said: “I could name a couple.
“In the moment you’re destroyed or you’re defeated, but you realise this person was brilliant.
“I remember, years ago, I was up for Spider-Man and I was so, so excited and it was the year… Andrew Garfield (got the part). So obviously, he was the right one.
“But I remember that was a big thing at the time, and going back for callbacks… And the director (Marc Webb) used to be a music video director, so I was like ‘I got an in here’.
“But you know what? I love the process of auditioning and putting yourself out there and having to prove yourself.
“It should never be a shoo-in for anyone.”
He said he didn’t try the Spider-Man suit but he had one “back in the day”.
Joe is currently starring in Korean war film Devotion alongside Glen Powell and Jonathan Majors.
