Going mano a mano with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby isn't nearly as nerve-racking for Joel Edgerton as sharing the screen with some eight-legged costars.
In his new thriller Wish You Were Here, which hit theaters this past weekend, Edgerton is among a group of friends vacationing in Cambodia when one disappears.
"I have a massive fear of spiders," says Edgerton. "In one scene I had six tarantulas crawling on me! Luckily they had be de-fanged, had they not I don't think I would have been able to do the scene."
When he's not fighting his fear of spiders, here's five more things the hot Australian star, 38, gets up to:

It was a setting worthy of the Great Gatsby himself.
After a week in which Leonardo DiCaprio was seen strolling the Seine with his mother and catching the tennis action at the French Open, on Thursday he and longtime pal Lukas Haas turned up at the Chateau de Versailles – and DiCaprio also had some female company.
She is a Victoria's Secret model, 20-year-old Hamburg-born Toni Garrn.
According to several eyewitnesses, Haas, DiCaprio and Garrn, arriving in the same van from Paris around 6:30 p.m., quietly walked the chateau grounds and garden, and she took pictures.

Two longtime, famous-name pals are back together.
After a two-year professional break to spend more time with his family, Tobey Maguire returns to the big screen by teaming up with his longtime pal Leonardo DiCaprio for director Baz Luhrmann's new 3D adaptation of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 classic, The Great Gatsby, opening May 10.
"We are like any other buddies. There's a lot of laughing and chatting between us," Maguire told PEOPLE at the film's New York City premiere on Wednesday. "We enjoy doing a lot of things we have in common, like basketball. We like to play and talk about basketball."
Best friends for nearly 25 years, Maguire, 37, and DiCaprio, 38, first met in 1990 during the casting for Parenthood, a one-season TV spin-off series based on director Ron Howard's movie starring Steve Martin (before it was revived for TV – successfully – in 2010). At the time, DiCaprio landed the lead teen role, while Maguire was handed only a couple of lines.

Fans can now get a sneak peek of Baz Luhrman's screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, as narrator Nick Carraway.
Based on the 1925 F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, the film is due to open Dec. 25 and centers on the mysterious, wealthy (and romantic) Jay Gatsby, played by DiCaprio. Mulligan is the object of his undying affection, Daisy Buchanan.
Though set in New York's Jazz Age 1922, the film, in typical Luhrman fashion, features modern music from Kanye West and Jay-Z, as well as Jack White, according to the 2½-minute clip, which also features lavish parties, costumes and fireworks. Twenty-three, skidoo!
