Andrew Garfield Was a Finalist For The Role of Caspian in "Narnia"

Andrew Garfield was told he wasn't "Handsome Enough" to play the role of Prince Caspian in 'The Chronicles of Narnia.'

Garfield noted, “I remember I was so desperate. I auditioned for Prince Caspian in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ and I thought, ‘This could be it, this could be it, And that handsome, brilliant actor Ben Barnes ended up getting the role. I think it was down to me and him, and I remember I was obsessed...Ben Barnes is a very handsome, talented man. So in retrospect, I’m not unhappy with the decision and I think he did a beautiful job.”

Instead, Garfield starred in many other films and eventually "back-to-back turns in 2010 dramas “Never Let Me Go” and “The Social Network." These films lead to him landing the role as Spider-Man in 2012, and recently Garfield has been seen in Tom Holland's, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' reprising his role as the web slinger.
