Garfield started acting very early

Los Angeles, April 16 (IANS) British actor Andrew Garfield says he got involved with acting as a child, thanks to his father.

The “Spider-Man” star has revealed his love for acting dates back to his school days, when his dad would use a bulky video camera to make films featuring Garfield and his elder brother, reports contactmusic.com.

“My dad had this awesome old Vhs on-the-shoulder camera that he was very proud of. We made a boxing movie once, which was really good fun. Dad was a good director, actually, very nurturing and good to his actors. The films usually ended up with me crying, though, because my brother accidentally on purpose hit me too hard,” he told The Observer Magazine.
