He may have gained widespread recognition for portraying superhero Spider-Man.
But bagging sought-after roles has not always been a given for Tom Holland, as he lifted the lid on a Peaky Blinders audition failure during a new interview.
The actor, 25, told LADbible that he didn’t make the cut for Birmingham-based series and admitted he would love to appear on reality TV show I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

However Tom admitted he may ‘struggle’ in the jungle due to his ‘short temper’, revealing he is likely to find other contestants annoying.
The Kingston native was presented with the public’s perception of him via an onscreen questionnaire – and there was plenty of talking points surrounding, ‘What TV show would you most like to see Tom Holland in?’
When the gangster-centred programme was listed in third place, Tom said: ‘I actually auditioned for Peaky Blinders and I did not get the part.’
With survival show I’m A Celeb placing first, the BAFTA winner admitted: ‘I actually would love to do that. I find the eating stuff really difficult, that would not be fun, but I would be alright in the small spaces and good at the athletic challenges.
‘But I also have such a short temper and I am so impatient, so I would find some of the people in there very irritating.’
