This little moment came courtesy of a fan that tweeted that “Tom Holland is cute and all but he constantly looks like he is hiding a frog in his mouth” with a handful of pictures attached that left Holland eventually feeling a little self-conscious. The concept of the frog in his mouth is really quite funny and his humility about the whole situation is very cute.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Holland discussed his role in stopping Sony from pulling Spider-Man from the MCU. At a time when there were fears that Spider-Man would not be allowed to exist in the MCU anymore, Holland reached out to Disney CEO Bob Iger who called the actor whilst he was at a good old-fashioned British pub quiz with his family. The actor reportedly was drunk during the call and his emotional outburst helped push the two companies toward making a deal.

This whole interview is classic Tom Holland from start to finish. The Hot Ones show has become well known for its premise of getting actors to eat increasingly spicy wings to the point where they can’t think coherently whilst host, Sean Evans, asks truly great questions of his guests.

Sometimes people are surprised to learn that Holland is actually from across the pond, from the good old British Isles. His flawless American accent as Peter Parker has fooled many, but if there are any doubts lingering this video certainly shows where his loyalties lie. The actor tried American drinks and snacks next to British drinks and snacks to see which were better, whilst throwing out classic British slang such as “minging” and discussing his love for Gregg’s pastries.

5. Tom Holland pants-less interviews (The Tonight Show)

During the pandemic, everyone was locked down, including celebs, which meant that the interview techniques had to adapt to suit the times. With working from home becoming the norm, it became well known that most people were only dressing up their top half which was in view of the camera. Holland also adapted this model, showing Jimmy Fallon his new interview style and showing off his near-hairless legs much to Fallon’s and the audiences’ amusement.

In another Graham Norton interview moment, Holland discusses meeting Madonna at a club after presenting at the Academy Awards. His recollection of the awkward encounter is adorable as he talks about how he tried to dance with the megastar after a friend bigged up his dancing abilities. Safe to say Holland felt like he was in an awkward situation and simply bailed, leaving Madonna on the dance floor much to his families amusement the next day.

The bromance between Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal has become something the internet has fallen in love with. The two genuinely love one another and their banter during interviews is hilarious to watch. In this interview with Cinépolis, it starts immediately with Gyllenhaal covering Holland’s mouth to stop any spoilers, only for Holland to lick his hand much to the ‘feigned’ disgust of the former. Any interview with these two is a blast though.

8. Any interview with Benedict Cumberbatch babysitting Tom Holland

During the press junkets for Avengers: Infinity War Cumberbatch was assigned to closely monitor the young actor to ensure that no secrets for the biggest Marvel film of all time were leaked. You can see just how vigilant the older actor is, jumping in before Holland can even answer in some cases. It must have been an exhausting time for Cumberbatch to watch the puppy-like Holland, Tom Hiddleston had to step in occasionally to help, but it made for some hilarious moments.

9. Tom Holland and Zendaya on what they wish they could make people forget

Whilst discussing past cringe moments with Melissa Nathoo, Zendaya teases Holland for an interview he gave when he was a young boy starring as Billy Elliot on stage. The moment in question saw an adorably small Holland on television singing some lines from one of the songs, but what viewers really love is the playful teasing between the couple about their past fame and acceptance of each other’s cringey past.

10. Tom Holland goes to school (Jimmy Kimmel Live!)

Despite playing Peter Parker, an American High School student, Holland is in fact British so hadn’t experienced what life was like in an American school. On Jimmy Kimmel Live! he discussed how he had joked with Marvel execs that he should go spend some time in one, which they then took very seriously enrolling him at the Bronx School of Science. His recollection of his time there, including outing himself to one disbelieving female classmate was hilarious.

Holland is as sweet as they come, and his wholesome nature is adored by fans, even if he sometimes gets in trouble for it. With three Spider-Man solo films under his belt plus appearances in other Marvel films, he is a firm fixture in the MCU and after the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home we can’t wait to see him again. Though the actor is taking a little break from the acting world and social media we can’t wait for his return so we can get more gems like these.
