Tom Holland has opened up about one thing that was getting in the way of his career.
Speaking with USA Today, the Spider-Man actor said that alcohol once had a damaging impact on his professional life.
Holland, who made the decision to quit drinking in 2022, said, “Being an actor and living your life on the big stage can be really stressful.”
“I think that alcohol, for me personally, really compounded that issue. And, since getting rid of the booze and feeling more like myself and waking up clear-headed every day and fresh to start the day, I just feel so much more confident in myself as who I am as a person,” Holland added.
He said, “Drinking was something that was ultimately really getting in the way of my professional life.”
Tom Holland also noted that his professional life has “blossomed” in recent years. “I’ve been so lucky in the last four years that my career has really blossomed in a really lovely way, and I really love what’s happening and what I have to come in the future. And I don’t know how much of that would’ve come to fruition had I still been drinking,” he said.
On professional front, Holland is set to return as Spider Man in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to release on July 31, 2026.
