Zitat des Tages von Tom Holland:
I was joking with my agent that I'm going to get typecast for a water-disaster actor.
I can't even touch my toes!
On stage you need to emphasize every emotion. But on screen you need to tone everything down and make it believable.
Like, 100 percent, I hate spiders. I thought I really liked them, and I learned that was just false. I really can't be around spiders. It scares me so much.
I am definitely the same person I was when I finished 'The Impossible.' That's one of the things I really strive to keep.
I come from very creative parents.
Fame is a beast that you can't control or be prepared for.
I feel like I've been playing Spider-Man my whole life. He's a character I've been pretending to be in my bedroom since I was a kid - so I've been preparing for this forever, I think.
There are so many things we have not seen in 'Spider-Man' yet... I want to use bad guys never seen in movies. The first films were so traditional and so scrupulously followed the character's classic plot... So there's a lot of stuff left in stock. 'The Clone Saga,' for example.
On 'The Impossible,' I was taught how to act. Naomi Watts was there every day constantly teaching me. That was where I discovered I wanted to be an actor.
I'd love to make a movie with Tom Hardy. If we ever got the chance to make a Venom movie together, that would be super-cool, but his movie would have to take place in the MCU because I'm not giving up my ticket in the MCU.
I really am having the time of my life. But as far as my future goes, I want to stretch myself as an actor in a way that Jake Gyllenhaal, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Meryl Streep do.
I completely and utterly rely on my mum. Without my mum, I would not be anywhere at all. I'd literally just be a couch potato.
When I was in 'Billy,' I always knew that I wanted to do something in performing. I always knew that I wanted to have a future in the performing arts. I had no idea that it was going to be acting in movies.
I don't want to be stuck to one character. I think that's what can happen when you take on a superhero movie.
That's what I love about working for Marvel is how welcoming and kind everyone is.
I remember actually going to see the first 'Avengers' with one of my best mates from home. I'd never have dreamed that I'd be in one of these movies, let alone playing Spider-Man.
'Civil War' was such a whirlwind, and I didn't really know what was going on. I was thrown into the deep end.
Spider-Man is loved by a huge range of people. I think the real target audience is people younger than 16. It's because he's going through what they're going through.
When Ron Howard rings you up and says, 'I'd like you to do my film,' you do it.
I've played a lot of wide-eyed kids.
I remember watching 'Avengers 1' for the first time and thinking, 'God, one day I want to be in one of those movies.' I just want to be in the movie.
I met two of my movie heroes. I met Tom Hanks, and I met Steven Spielberg. Oh and Quentin Tarantino.
I'm not a very good swimmer, and every time I'm in the water, I'm constantly reminded of that because I feel like I'm going to drown!
I always wanted to be a stuntman. If acting went well and I was able to take a year out, I might train and get on the stunt register, which gives you qualifications so you can do more of your own stunts.
There is so much to sailing a ship. There's about a thousand different lines on a brig ship, and knowing what each one of those does, it takes a long time, and that's why you have these cabin boys that start on the ship, and they learn throughout the years, and that's why it takes so long to captain one.
I don't like spiders, man, just because they are sneaky - they just really scare me. They are hairy - ugh.
Zendaya is the one. At serving looks, she is the one to go to for tips.
The ocean, to me, is one of the most terrifying things on the planet.
I have a photographic memory.
I went to an ordinary primary school, and then I started performing in a show called 'Billy Elliot' on the West End, and that was sort of my drama school.
I feel like if you put something out into the universe, then you increase your chances of it happening.
When I'm acting, it's like I am the character - no one can talk to me. But I'm not so method I'd sell my house and live on the street to play a tramp.
I've got a huge family back in Ireland, and I've made loads of movies in Ireland.
It's very easy to relate to a kid who is having trouble in high school... less so to relate to a billionaire whose Lamborghini broke down.
Me and my mates go free running all the time. It's not my mum's favourite sport. I've probably jumped four metres on to grass and two metres between buildings. It's nothing like you see on the Internet, with guys jumping off skyscrapers, but it's fun.
