The Amazing Spider-Man's Andrew Garfield: I'm Nude Under Spidey Suit!

By Radar Staff

Here's something to stir those Spidey senses.

Andrew Garfield, the hunky English star of the upcoming summer blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man, says on Tuesday's edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that under his Spidey suit, all he's wearing is his birthday suit!

Garfield, 28, tells Ellen he had to work out "like a literal crazy person" to get in shape for the coveted role (which Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Daniel Radcliffe and Zac Efron were all considered for).

"It was a life change: I get frustrated with those Men's Health magazines," The Social Network star said. "It's like, 'In five minutes, you'll be as fit a as fiddle if you just follow those three simple steps and only eat cucumbers.' This was hard work. I wouldn't be able to do it with out someone."

Garfield said while his Spidey suit might look good, it was quite uncomfortable to wear.

"It's made of something that is designed to make you irritated," Garfield said. "I don't know what that material name is but that's the description underneath."

Ellen asked him, "Was there anything under that suit? It's so skin tight it seems you would see lines of underwear or something like that. Is there anything under there?  Nothing under there?"

"It's just me," Garfield said. "Yeah, It's the worst."

Watch the preview on RadarOnline.com

In the film, Emma Stone plays Gwen Stacy and the nemesis Spidey will be webbing it out with, Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard, is played by Rhys Ifans.

Fun fact: According to iMDb, Garfield wept tears of joy the first time he donned the iconic costume.

The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters July 3.

Greenville Lions fall to Mount Pleasant; Lady Lions win 12-2

GREENVILLE — Mount Pleasant 7,

Greenville 0

  Michael Kopech pitched a four-hitter along with 10 strikeouts to lead the Mount Pleasant Tigers to a 7-0 baseball victory over the Greenville Lions at John Mason Field Monday.

  Mount Pleasant is now 8-12 overall and 5-4 in District 13-4A, while Greenville drops to 0-8 in 13-4A play.

  “We started out too slow,” said Greenville coach Cody Salyers. “We’ve got to play the game with more intensity and cut down on our errors. Playing catchup is hard on anybody.”

  Hayden Stuart went 2-for-3 for the Lions, while Luke Dyer and Travis Koger went 1-for-3.

  The Lions made five errors and could never mount any kind of rally against the Tigers’ right-hander Kopech.

ArtScience Museum marks 100 years since Titanic's maiden voyage

SINGAPORE: It's been exactly 100 years since the Titanic made its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to America.

To mark the occasion, Singapore's ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands lit exactly 2,228 "Kong Ming" or sky lanterns.

That's the total number of passengers the ship carried in its first voyage.

The lanterns were originally used in China for signalling, but they now carry the wishes of visitors to the Titanic exhibition, currently on at the museum.

Visitors were invited to pen their wishes since April 1.

Over 11,000 visited Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the ArtScience Museum during the three-day Easter weekend.

Throughout the month of April, visitors can also enjoy Titanic-themed fringe activities such as Irish dances, caricatures, paper cutting portraits, interactive dance performances and a choral concert by PsalmiDeo Chorale.

Visitors can also dress up in Edwardian-themed costumes and have their photos taken at the Grand Staircase.
