Tom Holland Parents: Meet Dominic Holland, and Nikki Holland – Tom Holland attended Donhead, an all-male Catholic boarding school in Wimbledon, south west London. He was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was seven years old.
His parents enrolled him and his brothers in a private school to ensure that he received the necessary attention. Although Holland enjoyed the new school, it began to strain his family’s finances.
Holland attended Wimbledon College, a voluntary aided Jesuit comprehensive school, before moving on to the BRIT School of Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon.
Holland considered several career paths as a child. As a child, he loved Janet Jackson’s songs and would frequently dance to them.
His mother, impressed, enrolled him in a dancing class advertised in the private school Holland was visiting at the time.
Holland briefly attended carpentry school in Cardiff, Wales, when he was in his teens. He considered becoming a primary school teacher because he enjoys being around children.
Holland began dancing at the age of nine in a hip hop class at Nifty Feet Dance School in Wimbledon, where he later performed with his school group at the 2006 Richmond Dance Festival.
He was spotted there by choreographer Lynne Page, a colleague of Peter Darling, the choreographer of Billy Elliot the Musical. Page arranged for Holland to audition, and the musical’s director Stephen Daldry thought he “had great potential and was a very natural actor.”
Holland won the role of Michael Caffrey, the protagonist’s best friend, after two years of training in ballet, tap dancing, and acrobatics, and made his West End debut in June 2008 at the Victoria Palace Theatre. Holland learned gymnastics while performing in the musical.
Holland reprised his role as Spider-Man in both Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), which were shot concurrently.
Each film grossed more than $2 billion, with Endgame briefly becoming the highest-grossing film of all time.
Tom Holland then directed Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), which received generally positive reviews and became the first Spider-Man film to gross $1 billion, finishing as the fourth-highest grossing film of 2019.
Empire magazine’s Ben Travis called Holland “a note-perfect Spider-Man — still funnier and more believably teenage” than Maguire and Garfield, who had previously played the character.
Holland voiced Percy Pig in a series of advertisements for Marks & Spencer’s Christmas food specials in November 2021.
The following month, Holland returned to the role of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Holland noted that after taking on mature roles in films such as Cherry, he found it difficult to return to playing Parker, owing primarily to raising his voice pitch and reverting to the mindset of a “naive, charming teenager.”
No Way Home was described by him as the “most ambitious standalone superhero film ever made.” Despite its release during the COVID-19 pandemic, No Way Home quickly became the most successful film of 2021 and the sixth most successful film of all time.
His father is Dominic Holland. His father is a comedian, author, actor, and broadcaster from England. In 1993, he received the Perrier Best Newcomer Award in Edinburgh. The Small World of Dominic Holland, his BBC Radio 4 series, won a Comic Heritage Award.
He started performing stand-up comedy in 1991, making his debut at The Comedy Café, Rivington Street, London.
Eddie Izzard managed him briefly in 1993. Holland’s one-man show won the Perrier Best Newcomer award and received positive feedback during his first year at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Holland later supported Eddie Izzard on her national tour in the autumn of 1993. Holland returned to Edinburgh in 1994.
His mother, Nicola (nicknamed Nikki) was a London-based photographer.
