But right after bringing them up, Holland brightens: “There will be good ones. Initial reviews of The Crowded Room seemed no better. But Cherry, a 2021 drama directed by the Russo brothers in which he played a strung-out heroin addict, drew a humdrum response. Uncharted, his first swing at a non-Spider-Man action franchise, was a win: The 2022 video game adaptation earned $400 million worldwide on a $120 million budget. But he knows that career longevity will ultimately hinge on every move he makes outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Meetings to determine the fate of his Peter Parker are in fact already underway. He certainly still looks young enough to don the Spider-Man suit once again, perhaps even for another trilogy. And at 27, Holland is already a savvy veteran of the Hollywood game. He’s wearing loose-fitting jeans and a Moscot T-shirt featuring a vintage drawing of a man taking an eye test.Įvery star learns to take their knocks in stride. He is pale, lean - whatever the ideal body fat percentage is, he has it - and delicately handsome. He makes rock-solid eye contact whenever he wants to convey a point. Speaking to a journalist, he’s serious and a bit guarded. Most of his characters are American and voiced in milder tones. Holland speaks loudly and confidently and in a thick London accent - he grew up there and still calls it home. That’s a bad review.’ Sometimes there’s a redeeming quality in there. “Rolling over, looking up the reviews, and then all of a sudden I was like, ‘Wow. “It was a kick in the teeth,” Holland admits, unprompted, over eggs Benedict on the quiet terrace of a hotel in SoHo. There is also a variety of sporting activities in the area, such as volleyball, tennis, cycling and a range of water sports.Tom Holland THR Cover Photographed by Isaac Anthony See more info about cultural events in the town.

Visiting Dubrovnik Old City – Things to Do:Īlthough Dubrovnik has much to offer in terms of historical sightseeing, part of its allure lies in the fact that it is still a lived-in city, vibrant and bustling with locals whose homes line the narrow streets and sunlit squares. Today, all new building work is strictly controlled, right down to the shade of green used on the shutters of the buildings in the main street, the ‘Stradun’. Many renovations were also done to return the city to its former splendour after it was attacked during the civil war of the early 1990s. The remarkable preservation of the neatly contained Dubrovnik centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the result of meticulous reconstruction after the earthquake of 1667. Dubrovnik’s Baroque churches, monasteries and palaces its Renaissance fountains and facades, are all intertwined with gleaming wide marble-paved squares, steep cobbled streets and houses, all of which have also remained unchanged for centuries. Today, these walls still enclose Dubrovnik’s historic centre and it is possible to walk along them to enjoy the best views of the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ and the surrounding lush green islands. For centuries, Dubrovnik rivalled Venice as a trading port, with its huge sturdy stone walls, built between the 11th and 17th centuries, affording protection to this former city-state. Jutting out into the Adriatic Sea with a backdrop of rugged limestone mountains, Dubrovnik Old Town is known as one of the world’s finest and most perfectly preserved medieval cities in the world.
