The Amazing Spider-Man 2 star Jamie Foxx was perfectly chosen to play the villain Electro since he really hates spiders. And it’s all thanks to a TV show he watched as a child.
He said: “I am petrified of spiders… There was a television show called The Land of the Giants… and it was where these people had landed on a planet of giant people… and in one of the episodes he’s running through a drainage pipe… and he runs into a spiderweb and then all of a sudden the music changed and this spider just starts coming at it. Now, if a spiderweb hits me I will take off all of my clothes… It’s the worst… I get in my car and run over them if I have to.”
