Tom Holland shared his girlfriend Zendaya‘s reaction to a wild stunt in his new movie Uncharted on Monday during a talk show visit.
The 25-year-old English actor during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers was asked about a stunt in which he gets hit midair by a car.
‘Now, how do they bring that to you as an idea? And then do you just call your stuntman right away and say, “Bad news”,’ Seth, 48, asked Tom.

Tom replied that the Indiana Jones franchise was his favorite genre of film growing up.
‘So to do it myself was really exciting, but then I had to do it, and I broke myself,’ Tom admitted.
‘Like, they tell you, “Right, we’re gonna do this stunt where you’re gonna jump into the back of an airplane, and then you get hit by a car out of the airplane.” And you’re like, “Wow, that sounds amazing!” And then you shoot it, and you’re on take 12, and they’re like, “Can we go again?” And you’re like, “No I’m done”,’ Tom said.
‘But it was tough. I was actually on set on “Spider-Man’ pitching the movie to Zendaya,’ Tom said referencing his 25-year-old girlfriend and their hit franchise.

‘I was going through the film scene by scene, and I told her that I was like, “Oh, there’s this great bit where I get hit by a car out of a plane.” And she’s like, “I have to stop you there. What on Earth is this movie about?”,’ Tom revealed as the audience laughed.
He praised his two amazing stunt doubles and said their motto is that things should look dangerous while being safe.
Tom said his mum Nicola actually was on the set the day of the stunt and the next day for ‘Drown in the Well’ day.

He said it worked out because his parents in the past have visited him on sets when he was mostly stuck in his trailer.
‘So my parents are always like, “Why are you so tired all the time? What is wrong with our son?” and then obviously, coming to set on those two days consecutively, I was like, “This is why I’m so tired all the time,”,’ Tom said.
