10 June 2023, Mumbai: Tom Holland, best known for playing Spider-Man, was filming the AppleTV+ series The Crowded Room when he openly discussed his personal story. Holland recently revealed the emotional toll the show had on him and acknowledged that it had pushed him to his breaking point.
Tom talks about his experience filming The Crowded Room
“The show really did ruin me,” he revealed. In an interview, Holland admitted that there was a period when he needed a vacation and took off for Mexico for a week, where he relaxed on the beach. He had to take a year off to rest and recover because the job was so demanding. Despite the difficulties, Holland is still anxious to see how the series turns out and thinks that the effort put into it was worthwhile.
The life of Danny Sullivan, who is portrayed by Holland and finds himself in jail for a horrible act for which he insists on being innocent, is explored in The Crowded Room. Over the course of the 10 episodes, the show goes deeply into Danny’s background, revealing an intriguing web of mystery and culminating in a discovery that will change the course of Danny’s life.
Holland was profoundly impacted by the gravity of the situation and the role’s intensity. He admits that even after filming was over, it was difficult for him to separate himself from the role. When Holland would get home from work, he would look in the mirror and recognise himself as well as him (the character Danny Sullivan). He had to work hard and take some time to recover his independence from Danny Sullivan.

Fans may look forward to Holland’s victorious return to the big screen because of his obvious commitment and effort, eager to see how his transformational interpretation affects the story.
