Tom Holland has been candid in a recent interview on Jay Shetty’s podcast, saying that the Hollywood industry “scares him” and he really doesn’t like it.
In a recent interview on the “Jay Shetty Podcast,” British star Tom Holland admitted that the Hollywood entertainment industry was not for him, and even “scared him.”
“I’m a big fan of filmmaking, but I really don’t like Hollywood. It’s not for me. I’ve seen so many people come before me and lose themselves. I’ve had friends that I grew up with, but they’re no longer my friends because they lost themselves in this business. Really, I just want to focus on what makes me happy like family, friends… Those are the things that make me really happy and that I should protect,” Holland confided.

Earlier in June, the actor announced that he would be taking a break from Hollywood to rest and recuperate after producing and starring in the series “The Crowded Room”. The actor said that after finishing “The Crowded Room”, he will spend time with family and friends and also allow himself to rest and travel.
Tom Holland also admitted that he felt lucky to have discovered his alcohol addiction and been able to quit before it was too late. The actor tried to quit drinking in January 2022 to join a campaign to not drink at the time. However, the 27-year-old star quickly realized that he could not control this desire.
“I woke up and immediately thought about alcohol. I checked my watch and it really scared me. So I decided to punish myself and not drink alcohol for 2 months,” the British actor confessed.
After 2 months, Tom Holland felt extremely miserable when using alcohol. Finally, the Marvel star decided it was time to quit. Up to now, Tom Holland has been successful in not drinking alcohol for the past 6 months.
