Spider-Man actors Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield share a group chat, named The Spider Boys.
In the world of Spider-Man, it's not just about the web-slinging hero but also the camaraderie shared among the actors who have donned the iconic red and blue suit. A testament to this bond is the group chat named "The Spider-Boys," which unites Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield.
When Tom Holland was cast as Spider-Man at the tender age of 19, he found himself caught up in the excitement of landing the role. However, he later regretted not reaching out to Andrew Garfield, the previous Spider-Man, out of naivety and focus on the role. Holland admired Garfield's resilience, particularly after his movies didn't perform as expected, and wished he had communicated with him to acknowledge the significance of the role [1].
The "Spider-Boys" group chat is more than just a place for the actors to discuss their experiences as Spider-Man. It's a platform where they bond, share lighthearted moments, and even compare their Spider-Man costumes. One such moment was during a photo shoot for the iconic pointing Spidey meme. The actors' laughter and attempts to avoid focusing on each other's crotches made it a challenging yet memorable experience [2][3].
Despite their different cinematic eras, the trio considers each other as brothers due to their shared experiences. Their friendship is a reflection of their mutual respect and the shared connection to the Spider-Man legacy. The group chat, still active, ensures that the actors stay in close contact [4].
Tom Holland has expressed his delight at being in contact with Garfield and Maguire, calling it "wonderful." He has had deep conversations with Garfield about playing the role of Spiderman, but admitted that he never took the time to think about what it must have been like for Garfield when he was the Spiderman [5].
Andrew Garfield, now 39 years old, once admitted during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live that they formed a friendship over their tight costumes and recreated the iconic pointing Spidey meme. The group chat was created during the filming of Spider-Man: No Way Home [6].
Their unique experiences as Spiderman have forged an amazing bond among the three actors. They have faced the challenges, shared the triumphs, and created memories that will forever be associated with the Spider-Man legacy [7]. The "Spider-Boys" group chat symbolizes this camaraderie and supportive relationship among these three actors who have each portrayed the iconic superhero.
