Tom Holland Stepping Back from Acting
MarvelSpeaking with Extra TV, superstar actor Tom Holland announced that he"s about to take a break from acting in the near future.Holland addressed how much he felt an "extra level of pressure" through his work as the leading actor and producer of Apple TV+"s The Crowded Room, specifically mentioning "exploring certain emotions" he hadn"t dealt with before:
"Yeah, it was a tough time, for sure. We were exploring certain emotions that I have definitely never experienced before. And then on top of that, being a producer, dealing with the day-to-day problems that come with any film set, just added that extra level of pressure. But I really enjoyed it. I loved the learning curve of becoming a producer. I’m no stranger to hard work. I’ve always sort of lived by this idea that hard work is good work. "He admitted that the series broke him in a way, leading him to take a week off in Mexico. He then revealed that he"s "taking a year off" from acting due to the difficulties of making that series, although he"s still excited to see the results:
"But then again, the show did break me. There did come a time where I was sort of like, ‘I need to have a break.’ I disappeared. I went to Mexico for a week and had some time on a beach and lay low. And I’m now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was… I am excited to see how it turns out and I feel like our hard work wasn’t in vain."The Crowded Room wrapped filming in September 2022, although it"s unclear when exactly Holland started his year-long break.
The Hollywood Reporter also shared in February that Holland"s Fred Astaire biopic movie from Sony Pictures found its director a few months prior, meaning that this movie could mark his comeback in the near future.
