Tom Holland is getting candid about the challenge of promoting a film that he wasn’t exactly a fan of.
During a recent interview on the Dish Podcast, the actor said he’s been “absolutely loving” his press tours this summer for The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day because he’s really proud of those movies. But he can’t say that about all the projects in his filmography.
“When you’re doing press for movies you’re really proud of, it’s really easy,” he explained. “Because when they ask you questions about why should people go and watch this movie, you’re not lying to anyone. You really feel like people should go see it.”
“I’ve had experiences before when people say, like, ‘Why should you see this movie?’ And in the back of your mind, you’re like, ‘You shouldn’t, because it’s shit,'” he added with a laugh.
Holland didn’t name the specific films he was referring to, as he would have much rather continued the high praise of his latest pics. “It’s felt really like a bit of a victory lap, to be honest,” Holland said of The Odyssey and Brand New Day. “I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m super proud of both of the films.”
