Tom Holland revealed he's taking some much needed time off after an intense six months filming The Crowded Room.
In an interview with Extra, the actor who both starred in and executive produced the limited series opened up about his experience and the toll it took on him.
He explained:
“We were exploring certain emotions that I have definitely never experienced before."
“And then on top of that, being a producer, dealing with the day-to-day problems that come with any film set, just added that extra level of pressure.”
The Spider-Man star continued:
“I’m no stranger to hard work. I’ve always lived by the idea that hard work is good work."
"Then again, the show did break me."
"There did come a time where I needed a break and disappeared and went to Mexico for a week and had time on a beach and laid low."
"I’m now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was."
