Tom Holland Says His ‘Spider-Man’ Suit Gets ‘Musty,’ and He Gets a New One Every Two Weeks

Tom Holland admits his Spider-Man suits can get a little gross.

In a new interview with Esquire, the 29-year-old actor and newly-minted Prada Beauty Global Ambassador was asked about fragrances.

Holland is currently in production for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and is the face of Prada’s new refillable fragrance, Paradigme. Although Holland admits he’s “a little bit fragrance-shy,” he might feel the opposite way when the cameras are rolling.

Rosenberg asked, “I was thinking maybe it gets a little musty in the Spider-Man suit and you needed a fragrance to cover it up.”

COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.

“Yeah, it definitely does. I probably get a new suit every two weeks, I reckon,” Holland responded.

Elsewhere in the interview, Holland admitted to doing “sneaky research” online to see what fans had to say about his Spider-Man films to “put together a vibe of what people were looking for” in the upcoming Brand New Day film.

“[I] went to Marvel and said, ‘This is what I think we should be doing.’ And I think that’s exactly what we are doing,” Holland said. “So it’s been a really fun process developing the movie. It’s the first time I’ve ever been allowed in that part of the process, and it’s definitely a stressful experience. But I think where we’ve got to, now that we’re shooting, we are shooting absolute gold.”

He continued, “I have such a good understanding of who Peter Parker is, and I have been so lucky that the fan base has been so vocal about what they love from the franchise. We’ve been able to really lean into those things and capitalize on those things. So I love standing up for the character, being in the room, and making sure that the decisions we make are what’s best for Peter Parker, because he really does feel like one of my best friends. It’s a really weird experience diving into the character again. It just feels like you’re hanging out with an old pal.”

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
