Tom Holland gave up drinking to prove he didn’t have a problem. Six months later he found out something else entirely.
In this clip, Tom Holland and Jay Shetty talk about the dry January that turned into a year and a half, the Instagram post that the press turned into a story about his mental health, and what it costs to have a version of yourself that strangers get to have an opinion on.
Tom opens up about the night he decided to delete his Instagram in the middle of shooting The Crowded Room, the line he lives by when people talk about him, and the moment on set when the whole production nearly walked away.
Learn about why he waited until June 1st to prove a point to himself, and why he still won’t tell anyone else to get sober.
