Tom Holland Hit Back At Taking A Break From Acting Rumor
The Crowded Roomactor claimed during an appearance onLive with Kelly and Markthat the dismal ratings for the Apple TV+ series had no bearing on his choice to take a one-year hiatus from the entertainment industry. In contrast to earlier inaccurate reports, he also stated that his hiatus from acting began eight months ago.
“It’s so funny. Obviously, ‘The Crowded Room’ came out. We didn’t have very favorable reviews. So the press story was that I have taken this year off because of the reviews,” Holland said. “But I’m eight months into my year off. I’ve been chilling at home in London, going to Grand Prixes, playing golf.”
He added: “I would like to say a massive thank you to my fans, and the people that have seen the show because we’re at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. I feel so grateful that I have a wonderful community of people that support me and are there for me, so I’m honored and excited for the rest of the show to come out.”
Tom Holland described his work onThe Crowded Roomas ‘the hardest job I’ve ever had’, but equally probably the most rewarding.
