Whether you’re a die-hard Spiderman fan or
someone who’s only seen the movies, you still have to agree that Tom Holland is
the best Spiderman ever. I mean, yeah he’s not actually a guy from Queens,
instead, he’s much more of a guy who might know the Queen (cause he’s British,
get it?) but he’s definitely the best choice for the role. He’s been a
Spiderman fan since his childhood and he’s doing an amazing job playing the
part on the big screen. And the movies are doing great so you know it makes
sense that people have a lot of questions about Tom Holland. Let’s attempt to
answer them, shall we?
How did Tom Holland become Spiderman?
Tom has mentioned in many of his interviews
that he auditioned for Spiderman multiple times. It was a very long process
that took many months and each time they would tell him that the next audition
would be the final one. In the end, they told him that he’ll know if he got it
the next day, but he waited for 6 weeks and nothing happened, no one called
him, but he did post on Instagram that he’s the next Spiderman and only then they
called him. What a way to find out! But also, what has set him apart from other
actors auditioning for Spiderman was not only his great acting ability but the
fact that he’s also a gymnast and he did a backflip at one of the auditions as
they were going through the scene and that really impressed the director.
How old is Tom Holland?
Tom is 23 years old. He was born on June 1st,
1996. Sure he’s not quite the teenager that Spiderman is meant to be but he
definitely looks like a teenager and he’s the youngest Spiderman to date
because both Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire were way older when they played
the part. Andrew Garfield was 28 when he filmed the Amazing Spiderman. Tobey Maguire was about 27. Tom Holland was only
19 when he was cast to play Spiderman.
How tall is Tom Holland?
Tom Holland is 173 cm or 5′ 8″. So you know,
pretty average. And it works to his advantage since he’s supposed to be playing
a teenager. Can’t be too tall for that role.
What is Tom Holland’s workout?
When it comes to Tom Holland’s workouts it
looks like he does a bit of everything. He clearly practices gymnastics to stay
in shape and because he loves it and it’s fun. He also does some boxing on the
side and he did work with a personal trainer for the movie to achieve a certain
shape. For that, he did 3 days of weight training and 2 days of circuit
training per week. Other than that he seems to lead a very active lifestyle.
He’s always moving, playing basketball, doing stunts, surfing. He’s just an
active guy and it shows.
What is Tom Holland’s diet?
Tom says he never followed any sort of special
diet. He just eats healthy-ish foods. But he does like to indulge in burgers
and other not so healthy things that he likes. But since he leads such an
active lifestyle and he’s pretty young, he stays in great shape no matter what.
Who is Tom Holland dating?
Tom Holland has been telling everyone that
he’s single, but a lot of people were gossiping that maybe that’s not true.
Lots of his fans shipped him with his co-star Zendaya. Recently the news broke
that he’s actually in a relationship with Olivia Bolton, who’s a family friend
and they’ve actually been dating for a little while now.
Where is Tom Holland from?
Tom, as we’ve mentioned is from Britain. He
was actually born in London, in the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. So
you know, he’s an English boy through and through but he does a very convincing
American accent in the movies. In fact, he sometimes jokes that since he has to
do so much acting with an American accent he sometimes forgets how to act without
an American accent.
Where does Tom Holland live now?
Despite his huge success in Hollywood Tom still lives in London. He bought a flat just around the corner from his childhood home and has no plans of moving to the States so far.
