“The day it leaked he might be involved, he was on my set. We were still filming,” Lin said, referencing their Netflix movie Tick, Tick…Boom!.

“And, between shots, I kind of quietly went over to him and was like, ‘Andrew, are you…in the new Spider-Man?’” Lin recalled, which took Andrew by surprise.

“His exact reaction was, ‘What?! Shut up! Shut up! Hahaha! Shut up!’” Lin imitated in a high-pitched voice. “And I walked away thinking, ‘Oh, he’s in the new Spider-Man.’”

According to Lin, Andrew got much better at denying his surprise appearance in No Way Home over time.

“Then, when I saw him on your show, he was a total pro at denying it,” Lin joked, referencing Andrew‘s appearance on The Tonight Show in September. “But…he had to get there.”

In another recent interview, Andrew revealed the only three people he told about his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
