Tom Holland confessed honestly that he does not like Hollywood even though he is one of Hollywood’s famous actors.
On July 11th (local time), Tom Holland (27) appeared on “The Jay Shetty Podcast” and expressed his honest feelings about Hollywood. He said that the Hollywood entertainment industry is not for him and that it is a scary place.
Tom Holland said, “I really am a massive fan of making movies but I really do not like Hollywood. It is not for me. The business really scares me. I understand I am a part of that business and I enjoy my kind of interactions with it, but that being said, I am always looking for ways to remove myself from it, to kind of just live as normal a life as possible.”
Tom Holland shared that doing a long-form interview in which he touches on his personal life in his hometown of London “is not a thing I would typically do”, although he said he made an exception for author and podcaster Shetty, whom he is a fan of.
Tom Holland claimed that some of his friends working in Hollywood had lost themselves due to their careers. He added, “They are no longer my friends because they lost themselves to their job. Seeing those friends, I keep thinking, ‘Don’t lose yourself.’“
Tom Holland continued, “I want to focus on what makes me happy, which is family and friends.” He mentioned that during his free time, he engages in carpentry, golf, and charity work. He emphasized the importance of preserving what makes him happy.
Tom Holland has been involved in acting since he was 9 and gained worldwide fame for playing Spider-Man in popular Marvel films such as “The Avengers” and the “Spider-Man” series.
Last June, Tom Holland also announced his intention to take a break from acting and explained that he had already planned his Hollywood break.
