Tom Holland is joined by some of the most famous faces in Hollywood in Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d<\/a> \u2014 and the actor isn\u2019t afraid to admit that he was upstaged by one co-star in particular.<\/p>\n

While talking with VT<\/a> ahead of Friday\u2019s premiere, he and Matt Damon were asked which of their fellow actors challenged them the most while shooting the star-studded epic. Holland was quick to mention that it was actually the dog who played Argos that had the biggest impact on the crew.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scene that we really can\u2019t talk about because it\u2019s such a huge moment in the movie,\u201d Holland began. \u201cThe dog probably gives one of the best performances ever done by a furry animal on screen. And then my close-up was right after that, and every crew member is literally weeping because this dog just f\u2013king nailed it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember we were chatting about the scene because we had shot your side of it the night before. Then we came back the following day, and I thought, \u2018Oh, well, we\u2019ll start with my coverage, right?\u2019 And then Chris was like, \u2018No, we\u2019ll start on the dog.\u2019 Shoots the dog. Dog nails it,\u201d he continued. \u201cEveryone is crying, and then I\u2019m chatting to Matt about the blocking. We\u2019re discussing it, and then Chris just pokes his head in and he\u2019s like, \u2018Oi, thespians, get on with it. I\u2019ll be on the f\u2013king dog.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Odyssey\u201d opens in theaters<\/a> on Friday, also starring Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel, Charlize Theron, Elliot Page, Benny Safdie, Lupita Nyong\u2019o, Samantha Morton and many more.<\/p>\n
