The 46-year-old Oscar-winning actor, who plays Max Dillon/Electro in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2', said he was turned off by the creepy crawlies as he watched his favourite childhood show 'The Land of the Giants', reported Contactmusic.
"I am petrified of spiders... There was a television show called The Land of the Giants when I was growing up... And it was where these people had landed on a planet of giant people... And in one of the episodes he's (character) 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.
