Watch: Spidey Envy? Just Where Is Andrew Garfield Looking in 'Spider-Man' Meme Shot?

On "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on March 17, Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield explained how the meme of himself, Tobey Maguire, and Tom Holland was shot. The pic features the three actors in their Spider-Man suits in a comic stand-off in which Garfield looks a bit awkward.

He explained that the shot occurred before filming their footage for "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which has gone on to become the year's highest grossing film. "We were all kind of thrown onto a set and told to point at each other," he explained to Kimmel according to the Daily Mail.

"I think we got one good shot and that's that, cause the rest of the time we were just laughing trying not to stare at each other's crotches, just comparing bulges," Garfield said.

"The original meme dates back to a 1968 episode of the Spider-Man animated series dubbed Double Identity, where a Spider-Man lookalike was on the loose," the DM said.

The meme was posted by the official @SpiderManMovie Twitter in February to promote the digital release on March 15

Garfield explained he met Tom Holland on the set for the first time.

He also said that the scene in the film that is similar to the pointing meme was a group effort. "We were all putting our heads together about it."

"We were all like, 'Where do we put the meme? Where do we put the meme?' We had a writers room going on between the five or six of us," he said, along with Tom, Tobey, director Jon Watts, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon."

The Daily Mail continued: "The scene happened in a lab when, 'we're all kind of like saying, is it me Peter? No we're all Peter, and Jacob is getting frustrated. Yeah it was so much fun."

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" became the biggest movie of the "pandemic era," and also one of the biggest movies of all time at the box office.

It opened with a massive $260.1 million in December – the second biggest debut of all time behind Avengers: Endgame ($357.1 million) – en route to $793.8 million domestic (third biggest of all-time) and a global $1.878 billion (sixth biggest all-time).

Garfield is nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as the late Jonathan Larson in the musical "tick, tick...BOOM."
