Tom Holland is a 27-year-old British actor who has become a household name thanks to his portrayal of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, his recent project, The Crowded Room, has challenged him in ways he has never experienced before.
In an interview, Holland opened up about the pressures of mega-celebrity, his superstar girlfriend Zendaya, and the future of Spider-Man.
On “The Crowded Room”
Holland revealed that The Crowded Room has been the “hardest thing” he has ever done in his career. The series is based on the true story of Billy Milligan, a man who was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID). Holland plays Milligan, who has 24 different personalities.
The series received mixed reviews from critics, but Holland is proud of the work he did on the project. He said that it was important to him to tell Milligan’s story and to raise awareness about DID.
On His Personal Life
While Holland’s professional life has its challenges, his personal life with girlfriend Zendaya remains private and sacred. Holland described their relationship as something they are “incredibly protective of.” Although they have busy schedules and are often on opposite sides of the world, they make time for each other whenever possible.
On The Future of Spider-Man
In terms of his future as Spider-Man, Holland revealed that meetings are already underway to determine the fate of his character, Peter Parker. He acknowledged that career longevity depends on the choices he makes outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Holland’s previous non-Spider-Man action franchise, Uncharted, was a success, while his drama Cherry received a more muted response.
Overall, Holland remains focused on his love for his job and his happiness. He emphasizes that he cares more about how he feels than what others think. As he continues to navigate the challenges of fame and the entertainment industry, Holland remains optimistic and excited for audiences to see his latest project, The Crowded Room.
