‘Spider-Man’ Star May Soon ‘Disappear’ From Public Life for Family
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, British actor Tom Holland, known for his role as Spider-Man in the Sony/Marvel franchise, expressed his desire to step back from Hollywood’s spotlight in favor of a more customary family life. At 28, Holland stated that once he has children, he plans to retire from acting, prioritizing family time and leisure activities like golf.
He also shared his ongoing transition towards sobriety, which includes the launch of his non-alcoholic beer line called Bero. Reflecting on his past experiences with alcohol, Holland acknowledged that his drinking habits frequently enough impaired his next day. Having started his career as a child actor, Holland has previously voiced concerns about the Hollywood lifestyle, indicating that it is indeed not for him and expressing a desire for a more private existence.
Recently, Holland proposed to his girlfriend and Marvel co-star Zendaya in a romantic, low-key manner, further underscoring his commitment to a more settled life. Amidst a culture that often glorifies fame and fortune,holland’s perspective on prioritizing family offers a refreshing counter-narrative,serving as a positive example for young people navigating similar choices.
British actor Tom Holland recently revealed that he seeks to set aside the chaotic and fast-paced life of a Hollywood rising star once he has a family.
The actor, who played Spider-Man in multiple Sony/Marvel movies, said in an interview with Men’s Health that he is actively seeking a transition away from the big screen and toward a typical life.
“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,” the 28-year-old declared.
“Golf and dad [duties],” he emphasized. “And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.”
Holland does not yet have any children, but he is already opening career doors beyond starring in blockbusters: he is currently launching a non-alcoholic beer line called Bero, which reflected a recent pivot he made toward sobriety.
“Every Friday after work was a write-off: Let’s get drunk and have a good time. I didn’t have bad experiences, but I would drink enough so that I would ruin my next day,” Holland recalled.
This is not the first time Holland, who at one point was a child actor, has cast a wary eye toward being a celebrity or expressed a desire to take a step back into a more private lifestyle.
“I really do not like Hollywood,” Holland said on a podcast two years ago. “It’s not for me. The business really scares me.”
“I understand I’m a part of that business and I enjoy my kind of interactions with it,” he continued. “But, that said, I am always looking for ways to kind of remove myself, to kind of just live as normal a life as possible.”
Holland took a step toward that normal life just a few weeks ago by proposing to girlfriend and Marvel co-star Zendaya over the holidays, as first reported by TMZ.
The outlet revealed that the proposal was intimate and romantic rather than flashy, perhaps indicating the life trajectory Holland wants to have with his bride-to-be.
The fact that such a young and prominent star is publicly and unashamedly taking steps toward marriage, family, and children is most certainly an encouraging sign.
Many in our culture tend to have the opposite expectation for their lives, preferring fame and fortune over the more common but more fulfilling experiences, like settling down for a quiet but peaceful life while setting family above everything else.
But Tom Holland has lived that life of fame and fortune. He knows firsthand how destructive such a lifestyle can be, and as a role model to other young people, he is leading by way of example.
Let us hope that many follow in his current course.
