Early Years

Speaker: Tom Holland·Original video
I was really lucky that like my life changed slowly.I started when I was really youngand then I had about 10 years before the Spider-Man thing happened.The Spider-Man of it all was the, that was the big turning point, of where everything changed.And I was lucky that I had those formative years to sort of grow up,make mistakes, learn about set life,learn about the world of movie making,and then Spider-Man happened.But it definitely was a steep learning curve for sure.
