SPIDER-MAN 3 villain THOMAS HADEN CHURCH was so attached to his SANDMAN character in the film, he suffered a minor bout of depression when the shoot was over.
The Sideways star spent so long getting into character as comic book superhero Spider-Man's nemesis, he struggled to release the bad guy when filming wrapped.
He says, "I'm not out of that mindset yet. I know that sounds like actor bulls**t, but you kind of lock into somebody, and Sandman was a very big part of me.
"I told my fiancee, 'Man, I kind of have this weird postpartum thing.' "It was such an intense part of my life for the past two years."
