Tom Holland needs a break from acting

Translation: All my non Marvel projects were duds and I’m not getting any offers?

Good, we need a break from him, and Zendaya.

Poor nepo baby. I hope he gets some rest during this difficult time.

He wants to get through puberty privately.

The AppleTV mini series, The Crowded Room, is at 11% on RT. The Hollywood Reporter gives it a tepid review.

However, he ain't Daniel Day Lewis or even a Christian Bale or Joaquin Phoenix. He was NEVER going to be able to save something from Akiva Goldsman whose storytelling and character development skills are on par with a turnip.

Unlikely. His new Spiderman contract is reported to be lucrative - upwards of $20mm per film for three more movies. Without RDJ and Evans, Marvel needs him.

The ONLY thing he needs to do is stay aware from major controversy and personal life drama to score.

Holland is hot, but he a small man, like Tobey Maguire before him, and though there are a few exceptions (like Tom Cruise), it can often be hard to get work as a small hunky man in Hollywood once you age out of teenage parts.

Pacino and Hoffman are only listed at 5'6" and they've obviously had huge careers as leading men.

James McAvoy and Mark Wahlberg are only 5'7".

Whoever is advising him on which roles to take should be fired. Someone clearly thinks that dramatic roles like this one and The Devil All the Time were good ideas. What he needs to do is something serious, but from someone like M. Night Shyamalan or Jordan Peele.

In that case I can take over his Spider-Man gig. I'm getting kind of tired of commercials anyway.

I wonder if Tom Holland wanted Dune. Did Chalamet need to audition or was he just offered the part? Was he the first choice?

I personally don't like him, but he is a much better actor than Holland.

R20, There is absolutely nothing "hot" or "hunky" about Tom Holland! Zendaya looks stupid and silly and GAY when seen with this Peter Pan!

A man can be short and still look like a man. Tom fails massively with the latter.

Whatever.

For the life of me, whether Beard/Merkin, Hetero, Gay/Hetero, Pen Pals, I don't know what the hell Zendaya is doing with Holland. And I actually find Holland to be an appealing person and performer.

Yet, she could have her pick of ANY man, woman, trans, furry, animal, mineral or vegetable and she's tying herself down with him?

At her age and peak, where she is now, she outta be sampling EVERYBODY. Mr. or Ms. Right Now.

Your query is stupid, r44. I'm simply saying that I can't take TH seriously as a mature actor or even consort to Z.

Kieran looked just as boyish as Tom when he was Tom’s age. He still looks pretty boyish for a 40 year old man, in my opinion.

… that’s a big part of why he works in the role, because he looks as immature as Roman is.

I thought he just danced around in his undies and humped RDJ's leg from time to time.

by Anonymousreply 61June 16, 2023 6:07 AM

I think TH's issue is that a good chunk of his young fangirls have moved on to the new teen idol (the new cutie on Bridgerton/ netflix hit pumped out every quarter). He is a commercial success though, didn't his Uncharted movie with Wahlberg do great in-cinema business considering it was released right after the pandemic?

by Anonymousreply 62June 16, 2023 6:42 AM

I like Holland and think he's perfect for Spiderman. But I wonder if he's any good for any other thing.

Still, he has that firm smackable butt going for him.

by Anonymousreply 63June 16, 2023 6:54 AM

All actors take a break when they're overworked, overexposed, and have too many flops in a row. Same thing happened to JLaw who still hasn't fully recovered. Holland is no different.

Heck, even Bryan Cranston announced his hiatus to save his marriage and career. Too many crappy roles leads to more crappy work. Seems like his wife was threatening divorce if he didn't spend some time at home.

As for Holland, he lacks range, he is simply no good at anything other than Spider-man, and his face is beginning to hit that British wall.

Has to answer question about " toxic masculinity"

[quote]When 'Lip Sync Battle' aired, Holland was obviously best known for being the hottest new addition to the MCU, meaning it probably came to a shock to some fans to see him give such an impressive performance — dressed in fishnet stockings, no less.

[quote]In light of this, the reporter asked if his appearance on the show was intended to be a “statement about toxic masculinity,” prompting Holland to set the record straight.

[quote]“I don’t give a fuck. I’ve grown up in the most non-toxic-masculine environment possible,” he said, referring to his days as a West End child star in London. “I didn’t realize what I was doing was so forward-thinking. I was just like, ‘Yeah, fuck it, I’ll put some fishnets on and dance in the rain. That’ll be really fun. I don’t care.’”

If he worked another job, it would be called short term disability. To be honest, I need a break from his acting as well.

[quote]As for Holland, he lacks range, he is simply no good at anything other than Spider-man, and his face is beginning to hit that British wall.

This is his major problem. Playing artsy "indie" roles isn't working because he doesn't have the gravitas to pull off that kind of acting like Andrew Garfield. If he plays a stronger leading role the project will likely bomb.

He also can't suddenly decide to start playing supporting roles in projects his people know will be successful, because he's "Tom Holland."

I think ultimately he's not a leading man unless he's playing Spiderman and even then the heavy lifting is done by the "character."

Zendaya on the other hand doesn't have that issue. She can be supporting. She can be lead alongside other leads and as much as I detest Euphoria she can act.

It seems like actors from the UK and Australia are about what they can bring to the project whereas US actors tell you what they want before they even consider the role. Plus, the latter is usually not formally trained in theater.
