Hollywood actor Tom Holland (27 years old) said he has spent 8 months off acting after appearing in the movie “The Crowded Room”. Holland will continue to take time off acting to fully “let go of his role”.
Take a year off from acting due to trauma after playing rape suspect
In Tom Holland’s latest film , the series The Crowded Room, Holland plays a young man suspected of rape.
The role took a toll on Holland’s mental health. After completing the film, Holland felt he needed a year off to “de-role” and regain his balance.
The psychological thriller series initially received little positive feedback from critics, leading many to believe that Holland had decided to “hide” for a while out of frustration.
In his latest TV interview, the actor confirmed: “I’m just enjoying a relaxing break, playing golf, going to watch sports matches… I’m giving myself a year off because The Crowded Room is a difficult project.
I participated as the male lead and producer of the film. The film’s content was quite heavy, making me feel like I needed a break to regain balance and prepare for the next projects.”
After the film appeared on an online entertainment platform, the responses to the film gradually became more positive. This made Tom Holland feel very excited because finally, his efforts were recognized.
In the film, Tom Holland plays Danny Sullivan, a young man arrested on suspicion of rape. Details begin to emerge as Danny is investigated. Danny himself is a mentally fragile person and there are many hidden twists and turns behind the case.
Holland shared: “This role is really difficult. I have to go through emotions that I have never experienced in my whole life. Besides being the male lead of the film, I am also the producer of this project. I have to deal with problems that arise on set every day.
These are common things for any film project, but in fact, I had to endure a lot of stress and pressure. I had an interesting experience, learned a lot as a film producer. But in fact, this film affected me a lot, so after finishing everything, I needed a break.”
Will only continue playing Spider-Man if one requirement is met

Talking about the possibility of continuing to play Spider-Man, Tom Holland expressed: “If I continue to play Spider-Man in the future, I will be the luckiest person in the world. I love the character Spider-Man, this role has changed my career and life.
But we’re going to need to find a way for Spider-Man’s story to compete with the movies that have already been made about the character. If we don’t, Spider-Man will… ride off into the sunset.
What I need to do now is to continue creating interesting stories around this character, making the character more meaningful. If I can do this, I will continue to stick with the role.”
