Transcript

Hey I'm Tom Holland and I am going

undercover on the internet.

It's Actually Me.

[keyboard clicking]

Let's begin.

First up, let's take ourselves to YouTube [clicks].

From Courtney, she says Tom needs to drop

his skincare routine 'cause I'm trying glow like that.

When you say drop, do you mean I should stop doing it

or I should drop a video?

Because if you want me to drop a video, it's been shot.

We're just waiting for the right time to release it.

That's a joke, I haven't shot my skincare routine.

I don't actually have one.

I'm just so lucky that I have amazing make up artists

that I see almost everyday for work

and they look after me really well.

Am I the only one who feels like Tom Holland drinks

a dozen cups of coffee a day with how energetic he is?

I drink tea darling.

Well I do drink coffee if I'm in the States,

but when I'm at home I drink tea,

because that would be treason.

Do you think that both Miles and Peter could co-exist

in the same universe or do you think Peter

would have to die first before they establish Miles?

Well I hope that doesn't happen because I would love

to share the screen with Miles.

I think that'd be really cool and I don't wanna die,

because I really love playing Peter Parker.

So that would kind of be a bit of a bummer, posted.

Anyone else notice how he speaks with

a very light English accent?

It's like halfway between English and American,

maybe being Spider-Man is rubbing off on him.

[inhales] I don't think I have an American accent.

I talk like I'm from London, but occasionally,

I will say things like the garage,

or I will say things like where are my pants?

We say trousers here in England.

So I'll say American words,

not that those aren't English words, but.

Wikipedia [clicks].

Holland is a supporter

of the English football club Aresenal.

This is not true at all.

I played for the Arsenal Vets once and that's

not because I'm good at football.

It's because they were short of that many players.

I am a fan a football club,

but I will not tell anyone what it is,

because I don't wanna make people angry.

You could probably guess who it is

if you are a football fan,

but I've kept that pretty secret.

I don't know why,

but no one really knows.

So me being a fan of Arsenal it's not true,

so [clicks] let's delete it.

Quora [clicks], never heard of Quora.

Don't know what that is, but let's explore it.

What makes Tom Holland so endearing?

[exhales]

[giggles]

I don't know.

I don't know.

Awe, that's really nice.

Thank you Quora.

It's my new favorite website.

Can someone clarify where Spider-Man's webbing

actually comes from?

In Tobey Maguire's version it seems to come

from his actual self, but in Tom Holland's version,

it is from his web shooters?

Yes, in Toby's one it comes out of his wrists.

He must have like little holes in his wrists,

which is kind of gross,

and in my one, we have web shooters which Tony Stark

made for him and he presses a little button

and it sprays out of his wrists.

[horn blowing]

And also when he clicks it a foghorn blows out the back.

[giggling]

Why is Tom Holland's Spider-Man shown

to be weaker, naive, and foolish

compared to Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man?

Hmm, because it makes me

more interesting I guess.

Gives me more room to grow.

If you start out a bad ass, there's no where to go.

I don't know.

Probably just pissed off a load of Tobey Maguire fans.

I love Tobey's movies.

They changed my life growing up.

Did Tom Holland learn acrobatics before or after

playing Spider-Man for the first time?

I learned acrobatics way before doing Spider-Man.

I did gymnastics from when I was a little kid

in the show called Billy Elliot,

and then I just kept it up while I was just kind of messing

around and then I was lucky enough to get Spider-Man

and it's been super helpful.

How good would Tom Holland be at playing Batman?

Well I wouldn't be as good as my friend Robert Pattinson.

He's gonna kill it as Batman.

I don't even know if that's actually true.

Is he actually playing Batman?

He is, that's sick.

He's gonna kill it,

and I wouldn't want to go up against him,

'cause he's a bit of a beast.

What is your favorite Tom Holland role and why?

I'd have to say Spider-Man: Far From Home.

I think that's my best work.

I've like grown a lot as an actor through the years

and I've played lots of different types of roles,

but Spider-Man: Far From Home was like the first time

I got to play a character who is exploring

so many different crazy things.

So I'd have to say that's my best work

that I'm most proud of.

Let's go to Facebook.

I know what Facebook is.

Ooh, that's a picture of me in fish nets.

I watch this every single time this comes across!

He freaking killed it!

I seriously would love to know what Rhianna

thought about this!

I'm sure she thought it was pretty mediocre.

But I've never met Rihanna, I don't know.

I think she probably liked it.

I would love to see a Lip Sync Battle between Tom Holland

and Channing Tatum because he brought out Queen B.

See that's why Channing is the winner.

He wins the Lip Sync Battle.

But I would love to do a Lip Sync Battle

with Channing Tatum, but as a team.

It's a romance and I'm jealous.

It is a romance.

We are in love.

He's my husband and we're really happy together.

I miss him.

[sniffles]

So much, anyway.

Imagine Deadpool walking up and starting the bromance

we deserve Spider-Man and Deadpool,

Spider-Man and a Deadpool series.

Wow I can't read, I'm dyslexic by the way,

so this is stressing me out massively.

There is already a bromance between Spider-Man and Mysterio.

So I wouldn't want to break that up.

Things are going really strong for Spisterio.

What would you, what would be our star name?

Myspide, Mysterioman, Spiderio.

Up next, Instagram.

Now I know all about Instagram.

I like Instagram,

but I am gonna delete my Instagram,

not like get rid of my,

well I'm gonna delete the app,

because I need to take a break from social media,

it's taking over my life a little bit.

It's going, after this interview, I'm gonna do it.

I hope one day Tom Holland would have his own TV show

because that would be amazing.

Well you might not have to wait that long.

It is so cool that you're doing animated films too!

Maybe animated series are next?

Spies in Disguise is a really, really cool movie.

When they pitched me the idea,

it was a no brainer.

It was something I really wanted to be a part of.

Will Smith and I kind of team up and we are at the front

of this film throughout and it is really funny.

And I'm seeing it, what's the day today?

I'm seeing it in two days, which is exciting!

Please try to become agent 007 in the near future.

I'd love to see you kick ass as Mr. Bond!

Well me too.

That would be sick.

[clicks]

Here we go to Twitter.

[clicks]

Remember when Tom Holland improvised this scene?

Vote for our talented baby.

Well it is improvised,

because basically we did a long improvise

and it wasn't great, but it sparked a great idea.

And then we reworked the scene and then this was born.

So it is kind of improvised,

and a technique I do if I'm trying to cry,

is I'll say a phrase over and over again.

So for example if I was in a scene and I was talking

to someone and the undertone of the scene was I love them.

I would say in my head I love you so much,

I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you so much,

and then it like, it just kind of brings ups emotion.

And in that scene, it was I don't wanna go,

and I just thought I would say it out loud,

and it works.

It's really good, really fun.

The way Tom Holland says Ello mate, you all right?

will always be on of my favorite things.

Well interesting if you

watch Spider-Man: Homecoming again,

I say Ello mate. You all right?

I don't know why.

I'm supposed to be a kid from Queens.

But we've dubbed it, so you can't hear the accent,

but I think you can probably spot the mistake.

So that is my challenge to you, chillingspidey.

Go and see if you can find that moment.

How is Tom Holland?

Is he okay?

Does he drink plenty of water?

Does he get enough sleep?

Well I've been sleeping a lot recently [gulps].

I've been drinking lots of water,

and I'm feeling okay.

Thank you so much for asking, boom.

Tom Holland 1996, Is it true that you are being considered

for a live-action Atlantis?

Please tell me that this is true!.

Atlantis was my childhood!

Yeah sure I am.

Yeah, we're doing it next fall.

It's gonna be massive.

We're all, yeah, totally, we're totally doing it.

We're not.

Didn't Tom Holland say he wanted Spider-Man to be gay?

The question asked was do you think

there should be a gay Spider-Man?

I think that would be a very progressive way to

kind of create a new character,

so yeah, I don't see,

I think there should be one day and I hope that I get

to share the screen with that person.

Reddit [clicks].

Tom Holland needs facial hair.

No I don't, because when I grow facial hair,

it's disgusting and I really look like I should be

on a wanted poster.

It is not good.

That picture actually looks better than the facial hair

that I can grow and that's saying something.

That is not a good look.

What if there were four Tom Hollands?

Then I could do a quarter of the amount of work

I have to do,

and we could split the work equally

between the four of us,

and that would be pretty great [clicks].

That's it, I'm signing off the internet.

I hope you enjoyed and learned a little about me.
