Tom Holland Says There Was 'Quite a Lot of Animosity' on The Crowded Room Set: 'Not a Very Harmonious Place'

Tom Holland's last project had him rethinking his sobriety.

The actor, 28, who starred in Apple TV+'s limited series The Crowded Room, revealed that the set of the thriller series was less than pleasant in a new interview with Men's Health.

“There was quite a lot of animosity on that set. It was not a very harmonious place, and there was a lot of arguing and butting heads,” he said.

According to Holland, the disagreements weren't over creative differences, which the outlet noted he welcomes, regardless of whether or not they become heated.

The Spiderman: No Way Home star, who has been open about his chosen sobriety, admitted that being sober helped to navigate the stressful dynamic, but the stress also made him consider having a drink.

“I thought, 'If I start drinking again now, with all this going on, it’s gonna get worse, right?'" he recalled.

Nevertheless, Holland said that he was "quite strong-willed. When I decide to do something, I’m really gonna do it."

“I leaned on close ones a lot: family, friends, old colleagues, new colleagues, people that reached out that I didn’t know who also were sober," he added of his sobriety.

In The Crowded Room, Holland plays Danny Sullivan, an unsuspecting man who is arrested after a 1979 shooting in New York City. After a series of interrogations by detective Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried), Sullivan's unusual history is revealed.

In addition to Holland and Seyfried, the series also stars Emmy Rossum, Sasha Lane, Will Chase and Lior Raz. Jason Isaacs, Christopher Abbott, Zachary Golinger and Seyfried's real-life husband Thomas Sadoski are also guest stars.

Holland's comments about the series come after the British actor revealed he would be taking a year-long break from acting in 2023 after a "difficult" time on The Crowded Room.

"'It was a tough time, for sure," he told Extra of working on the project. "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."

"I'm now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was," he added at the time.
