Actor Andrew Garfield says he talked his way out of trouble during a street robbery by pretending he was heading home from his mother's funeral.
The 28-year-old, who will be seen in the reboot of Spider- Man series "The Amazing Spider-Man", says that he has been a target for tyrants all his life and had a stifling time at school when he was been frequently picked on.
