Not only does it appear to be as action-packed as the MCU movies, but his fans are also intrigued to see how he would portray Nathan Drake (especially since he is a beloved gaming character). But how did he prepare himself ? Strangely, it appears that Holland didn't have to do much if fans take an extensive look into his background and discover all the skills and interests he took while growing up. In fact, there are quite a few interesting things to happen in Holland's life that might actually surprise his fans. With Tom Holland and the MCU producers not completely confirming if the actor has left the iconic franchise or not, the world has taken great interest in the English actor's life. Since everyone has spent the last five years watching him grow and develop as an actor, many fans are curious as to what Holland will get up to next or if he will take up another role that will be just as defining. As he has just announced that he will be playing Fred Astaire in a biopic, Holland's followers are confident that he will make this movie a success as he has an array of performative skills he could apply. Hopefully, he will manage to walk away from that set with no damages. He does have a pattern of breaking his nose. Unlike some of his fellow superheroes actors, Holland isn't over 6 feet tall. According to the Independent, Holland is around 173 meters tall (which is about 5ft 8'). Just for comparison, Spider-Man isn't that much taller in the comics, as he's said to be 5ft 10'. However, this comic book inaccuracy isn't something the fans are bothered since the movies have diverted away from the source material numerous times and Holland has done a great job in developing his MCU character. Tom Holland's fans will probably know that he comes from an artistic family (as Ethnicity of Celebs mentions). His mother, Nicola Frost, is a successful photographer, and his father, Dominic Holland, is an established stand-up comedian and a writer. As for Holland's siblings, his younger brother, Harry, directs short movies. Holland has also revealed that Harry did have a cameo in No Way Home was cut in the final take (via Digital Spy). Getting his breakthrough role of Spider-Man took Tom Holland a lot of time and a lot of auditions. He told Wired (8:59) about how he ended up auditioning all over the world, more specifically in Ireland, Canada, Atlanta, Los Angeles.
The effort paid off, as everyone now knows, and Holland got the part - which he learned from Instagram first. He stated that when he's in the United States, he drinks coffee, but when he's home (in the UK), he drinks tea. Because, apparently, not drinking tea in the UK would be treason, as Holland put it. Before he became Spider-Man, Tom Holland's first major role was playing the part of Billy Elliot in a London musical of the same name. When playing the part, Holland spent six hours every day dancing for three years and unable to uphold the routine afterward.
