\u201cI absolutely love it. I just find it, like, turns my brain off [after I\u2019ve] had a stressful day. I can\u2019t do anything else and do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike, I have to be like lasered in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holland gave up drinking in January 2022 and recently admitted alcohol was \u201cgetting in the way\u201d of his career at one point in time.<\/p>\n
He told USA Today: \u201cI\u2019ve been so lucky in the last four years that my career has really blossomed in a really lovely way, and I really love what\u2019s happening and what I have to come in the future. And I don\u2019t know how much of that would\u2019ve come to fruition had I still been drinking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holland faces intense scrutiny over his personal life, and he believes that alcohol actually makes the stresses of fame even worse.<\/p>\n
The actor \u2013 who has worked with Zendaya on the Spider-Man film franchise \u2013 shared: \u201cDrinking was something that was ultimately really getting in the way of my professional life.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing an actor and living your life on the big stage can be really stressful. And I think that alcohol, for me personally, really compounded that issue. And, since getting rid of the booze and feeling more like myself and waking up clear-headed every day and fresh to start the day, I just feel so much more confident in myself as who I am as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holland thinks that his own attitude towards alcohol is reflected more broadly among young people.<\/p>\n
He explained: \u201cAlcohol can be an amazing thing, but it can also be an incredibly dangerous thing. And I just love seeing that young people are turning away from booze and looking for alternatives. And it creates, I think, a safer environment, a more communal environment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI absolutely love it.
