Tom talked up about the industry on Jay Shetty's podcast saying, "Look, I really am a massive fan of making films but I really do not like Hollywood, it is not for me. I'm terrified of the business.

Tom also admitted in the same podcast that he has seen so many people lose themselves in the company. "I definitely believe it has been a recurring thought, which is don't lose yourself. I've seen so many people come before me and lose themselves, and I've had childhood friends who are no longer my friends because they've lost themselves to this profession. I just want to concentrate on what makes me happy, which is my family and my friends," he explained.

Tom Holland began his acting career at the age of nine. He shot to fame after appearing in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017). He is presently dating Zendaya, the star of "Euphoria."
