“Really pi–ed off” is probably the last reaction fans would expect from Tom Holland while talking about Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Yet, as the Marvel blockbuster continues making headlines, the actor has revealed the surprisingly miserable preparation for one of its key scenes. Sometimes, the shortest moments on screen come with the longest stories behind them.
So, what happened that left Spider-Man himself so frustrated? Here is everything you need to know.
Why was Tom Holland “really pi–ed off” while filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
Speaking on the Dish podcast, Tom Holland revealed he tried the same dehydration routine athletes often use before weigh-ins to make months of gym work stand out on camera. Instead of delivering the sharply defined look he had hoped for, the process only left him unbearably thirsty. The actor admitted the routine did not do what it was supposed to and instead just left him “really pi–ed off,” making the experience far more frustrating than rewarding.
“It’s like what athletes do to try and lose weight really quickly. But one of the side effects of it is that it really accentuates the work you’ve been doing in the gym. And for me, it didn’t do any of that. It just really pi–ed me off cuz I was so thirsty,” Holland told on Dish Podcast.
