8 Fun And Interesting Facts About Marvel’s Best Spider-Man Tom Holland

Whether you’re a die-hard Spiderman fan or someone who’s only seen the movies, you still have to agree that Tom Holland is the best Spiderman ever. I mean, yeah he’s not actually a guy from Queens, instead, he’s much more of a guy who might know the Queen (cause he’s British, get it?) but he’s definitely the best choice for the role. He’s been a Spiderman fan since his childhood and he’s doing an amazing job playing the part on the big screen. And the movies are doing great so you know it makes sense that people have a lot of questions about Tom Holland. Let’s attempt to answer them, shall we?

How did Tom Holland become Spiderman?

Tom has mentioned in many of his interviews that he auditioned for Spiderman multiple times. It was a very long process that took many months and each time they would tell him that the next audition would be the final one. In the end, they told him that he’ll know if he got it the next day, but he waited for 6 weeks and nothing happened, no one called him, but he did post on Instagram that he’s the next Spiderman and only then they called him. What a way to find out! But also, what has set him apart from other actors auditioning for Spiderman was not only his great acting ability but the fact that he’s also a gymnast and he did a backflip at one of the auditions as they were going through the scene and that really impressed the director.

How old is Tom Holland?

Tom is 23 years old. He was born on June 1st, 1996. Sure he’s not quite the teenager that Spiderman is meant to be but he definitely looks like a teenager and he’s the youngest Spiderman to date because both Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire were way older when they played the part. Andrew Garfield was 28 when he filmed the Amazing Spiderman. Tobey Maguire was about 27. Tom Holland was only 19 when he was cast to play Spiderman.

How tall is Tom Holland?

Tom Holland is 173 cm or 5′ 8″. So you know, pretty average. And it works to his advantage since he’s supposed to be playing a teenager. Can’t be too tall for that role.
