Joe Jonas has revealed he auditioned for the iconic role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man films in 2012, before eventually losing out to Andrew Garfield.
The actor-musician made this revelation during an interview with Variety's Marc Malkin on the Just for Variety podcast. During the interview, Malkin asked if there was a role Jonas auditioned for without getting that "destroyed" him. Jonas responded in the affirmative. He then went on to talk about his experience auditioning for The Amazing Spider-Man alongside Josh Hutcherson and Andrew Garfield.
In his words, "I can name probably a couple. In the moment, you're destroyed or you're defeated. But you realize this person was brilliant. I remember years ago I was up for Spider-Man and I was so, so excited and it was the year Andrew Garfield got it. Obviously, he was the right one. But I remember that was a big thing at the time, going back for callbacks and the director used to be a music video director. So, I was like, "I got an in here." But you know what? I love the process of auditioning and putting yourself out there and having to prove yourself."
