LOS ANGELES − It's hard to imagine a crowded sporting event on a sunny day in Los Angeles where nobody's drinking. But, at Tom Holland's padel tournament on April 29, that's exactly the case.
Holland caught up with USA TODAY ahead of BERO Padel Classic, a star-studded padel tournament hosted by his non-alcoholic beer and lifestyle brand, BERO. At this year's event, held at Pura Padel, Holland participated with other BERO higher-ups in a friendly tournament of padel, a racquet sport that's probably best described as a combination of squash and tennis. Zendaya − Holland's fiancé (or perhaps wife, if her longtime stylist Law Roach is to be believed) − also stopped by to support, in a stunning blue-and-white sundress.
Holland's connection to BERO is personal. He's been open about his own journey with sobriety after realizing he had an alcohol problem about four years ago. The "Spider-Man" star, 29, quit alcohol during a dry January challenge in 2022. That dry January turned into a dry February, which turned into a dry March, which turned into a sober lifestyle.
With BERO, Holland doesn't just want to offer non-alcohol-drinkers another beverage, but he aims to promote heath and wellness more broadly. The spirit of padel, he says, reflects that.
