Andrew Garfield admitted that keeping his "Spider Man: No Way Home" cameo a secret wasn't that hard -- in fact, he found it quite easy to lie to fans.
"It was rather stressful but also weirdly enjoyable," Garfield told TheWrap.

I don't like to lie and I'm not a good liar, but I kept framing it as a game," he continued. "And I kept imagining myself purely as a fan of that character, which is not hard to do."
The 38-year-old actor added, "I placed myself in that position of, 'Well, what would I want to know? Would I want to be toyed with? Would I want to be lied to? Would I want to be kept on my toes guessing? Would I want to discover it when I went to the theater? Would I want to be guessing, guessing, guessing?'"

"I would want the actor to do an incredibly good job at convincing me he wasn't in it. And then I would want to lose my mind in the theater when my instinct was proven right," he explained. "That's what I would want.”
Garfield appears in "No Way Home" -- which has surpassed $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office -- alongside fellow Spidey alum Tobey Maguire and current web-slinger Tom Holland.
