I always wanted to be a stuntman. If acting went well and I was able to take a year out, I might train and get on the stunt register, which gives you qualifications so you can do more of your own stunts.
— Tom Holland
I don't read that many books - I tend to read scripts for projects.
When Ron Howard rings you up and says, 'I'd like you to do my film,' you do it.
I'm never quite cool, if you know what I mean. I'm basically the worst, best superhero.
'Spider-Man' was the best time of my life. I was there with my best friend. We shot in Atlanta. We shot every day and just had an absolute blast. 'Avengers' was crazy because you're on set every day with actors I never dreamed I would work with. I'm as much a fan as anyone else.
I actually have videos on my phone of me interviewing people and asking them what they thought of the new Spider-Man in 'Civil War.' They were like, 'Oh he's great. I love him,' and then some people were like, 'Nah, I don't love him. he's not great' - and I was standing right in front of them!
I think directing is something I would really enjoy.
'Infinity War' needs no teasing. That movie literally needs no teasing. It's going to be the biggest movie of all time. Believe me; no one is ready for this movie.
I love the process of making a movie so much as an actor that I can only imagine I would love the process of being the director.
'Avengers' was crazy because you're on set every day with actors I never dreamed I would work with. I'm as much a fan as anyone else.
I've always had an argument with my best friend that Spider-Man was way better than Batman. I was a massive fan growing up.
I have been given such a wonderful opportunity, and I want to share that with people. If I can share that with kids in hospital, then that seems like the right thing to do.
I've made 'The Pilgrimage' - where I actually had to speak Gaelic - and I was shooting in Belfast as well.
I've got a huge family back in Ireland, and I've made loads of movies in Ireland.
I can't even touch my toes!
Zendaya is the one. At serving looks, she is the one to go to for tips.
Fame is a beast that you can't control or be prepared for.
Me and my mates go free running all the time. It's not my mum's favourite sport. I've probably jumped four metres on to grass and two metres between buildings. It's nothing like you see on the Internet, with guys jumping off skyscrapers, but it's fun.
My goal was to try and kind of be our generation's Marty McFly. That was what my all-time goal was.
Teleportation would be the best because I live on airplanes. It would be super handy to be able to teleport around.
Like, 100 percent, I hate spiders. I thought I really liked them, and I learned that was just false. I really can't be around spiders. It scares me so much.
Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero, maybe ever, because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it's puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way.
The 20-year goal is to be a film director. The 15-year goal is to win an Oscar. The five-year goal is to just keep enjoying myself.
I think, for me, I've realized the responsibility of being a role model for young kids everywhere.
I'm a London boy, born and bred, and I'll be there for as long as I can.
I started dancing because of Janet Jackson.
'Civil War' was such a whirlwind, and I didn't really know what was going on. I was thrown into the deep end.
That's what I love about working for Marvel is how welcoming and kind everyone is.
It's very easy to relate to a kid who is having trouble in high school... less so to relate to a billionaire whose Lamborghini broke down.
I feel like I've been playing Spider-Man my whole life. He's a character I've been pretending to be in my bedroom since I was a kid - so I've been preparing for this forever, I think.
I've played a lot of wide-eyed kids.
I remember actually going to see the first 'Avengers' with one of my best mates from home. I'd never have dreamed that I'd be in one of these movies, let alone playing Spider-Man.
I try and let the film do the talking.
If I can bring happiness to people all around the world, then I will try my best to do so.
Performing on stage is such a buzz. I've done stupid things such as jump off a building, but I'd never experienced adrenalin like I did on stage.
It's quite difficult to take a superhero movie seriously because everything is heightened. A kid being bitten by a radioactive spider and getting superpowers is kind of ridiculous.
I often find that superheroes are the bachelors or the billionaires - and everyone loves them. Peter Parker is basically the complete opposite. I just think that's what a lot of kids feel like as they're growing up.
Bullies now aren't just jocks. They're rich kids in the nice cars with the fancy clothes.
'Fan' is an understatement. I had the Spider-Man costume, I had bed sheets, toys, you name it. I've always had an argument with my best friend that Spider-Man was way better than Batman. I was a massive fan growing up.
My mom thought I could dance because I used to dance to this Janet Jackson song she'd play when I was a baby. Then she would take me to a Saturday dance school. I used to go every week and got spotted by a scout, who suggested I audition for the role of Billy in 'Billy Elliot the Musical.'
I'd love to make a movie with Tom Hardy. If we ever got the chance to make a Venom movie together, that would be super-cool, but his movie would have to take place in the MCU because I'm not giving up my ticket in the MCU.
I like to consider myself a tech fan. That doesn't mean I'm a tech whiz, by any means.
Spider-Man is loved by a huge range of people. I think the real target audience is people younger than 16. It's because he's going through what they're going through.
Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero - maybe ever - because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it's puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way. That's why he's such a beloved character: because so many people can relate to him.
I am definitely the same person I was when I finished 'The Impossible.' That's one of the things I really strive to keep.
I feel like if you put something out into the universe, then you increase your chances of it happening.
Dublin is one of my favourite cities. It's an absolutely amazing place.
It was amazing for me to play a character opposite Benedict Cumberbatch - he's someone who I've looked up to for years - and the idea that I would work with him and then become friends with him was an amazing experience.
I personally think if something's not a challenge, there's no point doing it, because you're not gonna learn much.
It's definitely a good way to stay in touch with your fans. The main reason I really use Instagram is because I want to hear their thoughts and what would they like to happen and see if I can make that happen. Which is a really nice way of being in touch with them all around the world.
