New Delhi June 25 (IANS) Actor Ranveer Singh says he got to play Spider-Man in a play in school just because he was "chubby".
"I have grown up loving many superheroes from both Marvel and DC universe. I remember playing Spider-Man in a school play but our play was a satire and it was a spoofy take on Spider-Man " Ranveer told IANS.
"I was a bit chubby as a kid which is why they decided to cast me in the version " added the actor who lent his voice to Ryan Reynold s Deadpool in the Hindi version of Hollywood film "Deadpool 2".
"Because it was apparently funny to see a chubby kid in a tight Spider-Man suit. I was only too happy to go out on the stage and be laughed at."
The actor known for films like "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl" "Lootera" "Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela" "Gunday" "Dil Dhadakne Do" and "Bajirao Mastani" says he never had a problem being a laughing stock.
"I still have no problem with being laughed at or (no problem) making a fool of myself."
On the film front Ranveer will be seen in movies like Zoya Akhtar s "Gully Boy" Rohit Shetty s "Simmba" and Kabir Khan s "83".
