The Spider-Man actor used a podcast appearance to speak about his struggles with alcoholism, and how giving up drinking has made him ‘the happiest I’ve ever been’
Tom Holland, the British actor best known for playing Spider-Man, has opened up about his battles with sobriety. Speaking to the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, the actor, 27, said that quitting alcohol was “the best thing I’ve ever done” after he’d been “scared” by realising the extent of his dependance.
After a “very, very boozy” Christmas period in 2022, Holland found that having resolved to complete a dry January, “all I could think about was having a drink … It really scared me”.
