Holland also expressed that he remains close to the loved ones he spent time with while growing up: ‘My friends from home are all my friends from when I was a kid.’
He then noted that they were very helpful to his career in the sense that they kept his ego in check.
‘My family are the first people to tell me if I’m having a moment of, I guess, movie stardom. And, you know, they just keep me grounded,’ he said.

Tom stars alongside Mark Wahlberg in the new movie Uncharted, and he confessed to feeling like the ‘son’ of the 50-year-old actor, who is famed for his muscular physique and intense workout regime.
He shared: ‘The only luxury of the lockdown for me was that we went on set for the day one of shooting and I realized that I looked like Mark’s 12-year-old son. He’s massive, right? He’s so broad. I mean, look at him.’
Tom was actually inspired by Wahlberg to get in better shape during the COVID-19 lockdown.
