"A Federer, Nadal, Murray love child" - Andrew Garfield opens up on his comparisons with Andy Murray
Renowned Hollywood star Andrew Garfield recently spoke about his comparison with former World No. 1 Andy Murray in terms of their appearances. He admitted that his friends claim that he does look like the British player and even referred to himself as the "love child" of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray.
The actor, who plays Spiderman in 'The Amazing Spiderman' series is also identified by fans as a doppelganger of Andy Murray. Many fans have previously even demanded that Garfield portray the Brit in the latter's biopic.
"If Andrew Garfield doesn’t play Andy Murray in a biopic I will never forgive Hollywood," wrote a Twitter fanpage.

On the Jonathan Ross Show, Garfield was asked about the comparisons with Andy Murray. In response, he highlighted that it's not just the fans or Ross who think this way. Apparently, many of the Hollywood actor's own friends also feel that he looks like the three-time Grand Slam champion.
"I do, yeah, my friends will be very happy you said that because they are always trying to convince me that I do look like [him]," said Garfield.

"But I also get a Federer and I get Nadal, like a Federer, Nadal, Murray love child, which would be amazing in tennis," added the 38-year-old.
