Movie poster spiderman not film's star; he's a 35-year-old Nebraska gymnast

The fit gymnast in the Spiderman suit on video game covers, Kraft Macaroni boxes and movie posters all over the world isn't the film's star, Andrew Garfield.
     He's 35-year-old, single, Omaha native Nick Stanner, whose parents still run the Omega School of gymnastics in Papillion.
     From a profile by Bob Fishbach in today's Omaha World-Herald:
His mother recalls one night at the gym when she suddenly noticed... Nick on top of the pop machine in the lobby.
     “I don't know how he got up there, but he did a front flip onto the couch,” she said. “We were sort of speechless.”
Stanner was, at the time, three years old.
     The stuntman gave Fishbach a very familiar answer to the Dating Question: Not now. “I'm just focusing on my work.”
