Tom Holland has admitted that there were times when he had to pretend to love his film, even when he secretly thought it wasn’t very good.
The actor said that it can be really difficult to promote a film if he doesn’t really believe in it, but this year it feels completely different.
Talking about Platter from Waitrose podcast, Holland said he enjoys every moment of promotion The Odyssey and Spider Man: Brand New Day because he is honestly proud of both films.
However, he shared that it’s easy to talk about a movie when you really love it, but that wasn’t always the case.
The Impossible the actor laughed as he recalled being asked why people should watch certain movies.
Deep down, he said, he sometimes felt they probably shouldn’t. Yet he still had to smile, do interviews and convince everyone to buy a ticket.
Although Holland did not name the films he was talking about, some of his older films received poor reviews from critics.
Right now, though, he says things feel very different, calling this year’s press tour a “victory lap” because he truly believes in the work he’s done.
Holland also made headlines after being the first guest ever to throw up during Hot Ones spicy wing challenge.
Instead of feeling embarrassed, he laughed it off and joked that he loved being first.
As his busy press tour ends, Tom begins training for his next role as legendary dancer Fred Astaire, where he hopes to perform every dance scene himself.
