I think, from every actor I've ever spoken to, they say the biggest thing they regret from life is not finishing school.
Tom Holland
I loved doing ballet. I trained for two years.
It was amazing for me to play a character opposite Benedict Cumberbatch - he's someone who I've looked up to for years - and the idea that I would work with him and then become friends with him was an amazing experience.
I don't like spiders, man, just because they are sneaky - they just really scare me. They are hairy - ugh.
There was times when I was bullied about dancing and stuff. But you couldn't hit me hard enough to stop me from doing it.
I'd like to be a director who gives my actors complete freedom while collaborating with them to find performances.
I try and let the film do the talking.
'Civil War' was such a whirlwind, and I didn't really know what was going on. I was thrown into the deep end.
I haven't seen 'The Empire Strikes Back' - I'm not gonna lie.
Marvel actually sent me to a school in the Bronx where I had a fake name, and I put on an accent, and I went for, like, three days. I basically had to go to this science school and blend in with all the kids, and some of the teachers didn't even know.
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.
One of the reasons why Spider-Man is my favorite superhero is because we both undergo big changes in our lives.
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!
It's quite difficult to take a superhero movie seriously because everything is heightened. A kid being bitten by a radioactive spider and getting superpowers is kind of ridiculous.
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.
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 have been given such a wonderful opportunity, and I want to share that with people. If I can share that with kids in hospital, then that seems like the right thing to do.
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 was an ordinary student at school and, at the same time, an actor. But I was not the popular kid, which helped me to play Peter Parker better.
If I can bring happiness to people all around the world, then I will try my best to do so.
I think, for me, I've realized the responsibility of being a role model for young kids everywhere.
I go to The Brit School, which is where Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Jessie J went.
My mom thought I could dance because I used to dance to this Janet Jackson song she'd play when I was a baby. Then she would take me to a Saturday dance school. I used to go every week and got spotted by a scout, who suggested I audition for the role of Billy in 'Billy Elliot the Musical.'
Spider-Man has always been a huge part of my life. I love the movies. I love the comics. And I always just wanted to be Spider-Man.
I can't even touch my toes!
There's too much we don't know about the ocean to make me feel comfortable around it.
I want to work with Bayona again. I keep emailing my agent about it. Even the smallest role, I'll do it.
My goal was to try and kind of be our generation's Marty McFly. That was what my all-time goal was.
Zendaya is the one. At serving looks, she is the one to go to for tips.
I've got a huge family back in Ireland, and I've made loads of movies in Ireland.
Colombia is so different to what I know, and every aspect of the country is different to England, and I loved it. I loved the culture and the food, and the coffee was amazing. The place that we were was stunning, and it really was quite an amazing experience to film out there.
When I'm on set, I don't really think about what an audience is going to think about a scene. I'm just thinking about how I can make it best. And how I can enjoy myself most.
It's important not to make Spider-Man masculine because he's a kid. As soon as you make him masculine, it's harder to relate to him if you are younger and are in high school. I definitely was not masculine in high school.
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.
It's definitely a good way to stay in touch with your fans. The main reason I really use Instagram is because I want to hear their thoughts and what would they like to happen and see if I can make that happen. Which is a really nice way of being in touch with them all around the world.
Adrenaline has always been my thing.
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.
The most important thing, in anything you do, is always trying your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it's not as good as you'd hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down.
Peter Parker's storyline hits every key point of growing up.
I don't want to be stuck to one character. I think that's what can happen when you take on a superhero movie.
Every kid goes through puberty, wondering what to do about girls and struggling with homework, and every adult has been through that.
I actually have videos on my phone of me interviewing people and asking them what they thought of the new Spider-Man in 'Civil War.' They were like, 'Oh he's great. I love him', and then some people were like, 'Nah, I don't love him. he's not great' - and I was standing right in front of them!
I get recognized more for my 'Lip Sync Battle' than I do for being Spider-Man.
Best thing about shooting in Atlanta at night is that it's not as hot as it is during the day.
'Infinity War' needs no teasing. That movie literally needs no teasing. It's going to be the biggest movie of all time. Believe me; no one is ready for this movie.
That's what I love about working for Marvel is how welcoming and kind everyone is.
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.
The 20-year goal is to be a film director. The 15-year goal is to win an Oscar. The five-year goal is to just keep enjoying myself.
I'm studying theater and media. I don't really know why I took media, because I'm so useless with technology, though it's fun. But, I do love theater and am having a great time learning about all the practitioners and getting to perform with my friends.
When I was young, my mom realized I could dance and hold a beat, and I really danced just for fun. It was good exercise.
