Tom Holland's drinking turned him into an 'un-wild' Hollywood partier
Published in Entertainment News
Tom Holland has insisted his "version of wild" before he quit drinking was "very un-Hollywood".
The Spider-Man star decided to give up alcohol in January 2022, but admitted that even when he drank to excess, the results weren't what you would typically expect of a world-famous actor.
Speaking to his The Odyssey co-stars Robert Pattinson and Matt Damon, as well as director Christopher Nolan, for GQ magazine, Tom explained: "I wouldn't necessarily describe it as wild, and more at times lonely.
"I had my times, but I wasn't necessarily the nightclub-going person as much as I could sit at home in my hotel room and finish a minibar and go to work the next day.
"So my version of wild was very, I guess, un-Hollywood. I was always pretty sensible. I just drank too much."
Tom's comment came after Robert remarked that those of his co-star's generation are "sensible" compared to him, as he "really stretched mine out".
Robert mused: "I feel like he kind of lived out his sort of crazy years in the amount of time which you're supposed to, which is maybe, like, eight years, and I really stretched mine out.
"I'm like, 'I'm going to be 22 till I'm 39.' But it's weird. I feel like everyone from his generation is very…. they've got quite sensible."
Tom kicked his drinking habit four years ago, when he took on the Dry January challenge, and had originally planned to give up alcohol just for the month.
However, when he realized how dependent he had become on drinking, he decided to extend his pursuit of sobriety for the foreseeable.
Tom will return to the spotlight in The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, both of which are due to hit cinemas this July.
In the GQ interview, he admitted that he had made a conscious decision to step away from work for a while, as it became somewhat overwhelming.
He said: "I needed a break, and I felt like I'd overworked and I needed to do some growing up in my personal life, which required me to have some time at home.
"And then also I just wanted to make sure that I was always in love with what I was doing. I think to do what we do, we're so lucky, and the moment it becomes a chore, there's something wrong.
"I don't know if there was a moment where I doubted being in love with it, but it just felt a little bit like I was not doing my best work, because I was just going to work."
