Andrew Garfield has admitted that he is terrified by fame.
The actor is set become a household name next year when he takes on the role of Peter Parker in Spider Man, a reboot of the franchise.
He takes over the role from Tobey Maguire as Marc Webb takes up the director's chair.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Time Hero Complex Blog the actor said: "I don’t like to think about [the fame]. It terrifies me... The visibility thing... the being a more visible actor or just a more visible person in the world - was the one thing that deterred me.
"That was absolutely the one thing I questioned. Do I want to do this? I thought about it for a month, constantly... I did take the role, I took it on, and i don’t regret it.
"It’s meant something to me for all of my life. But I’m going to do my best to remain me."
Garfield has already enjoyed huge success over the lat year with the Oscar nominated The Social Network and Never Let Me Go.
The Amazing Spider Man is released 3rd July 2012.
