Actor Tom Holland has confessed that at the casting for the role of Spider-Man, he was told that he fulfilled a requirement: to be ugly.
Through his 60 years of stories, Peter Parker has had long relationships, and we could not classify him as a Don Juan. It’s not Tony Stark. However, he has not been described as “ugly” either, rather as “a normal boy”. Interestingly, to land the role of Spider-Man, according to Tom Holland, it seems that a requirement was to be ugly. At least a little.
In a recent interview on the UK’s Graham Norton Show, Holland recalls flying to Atlanta multiple times for different camera tests during the final casting to play Spider-Man. The actor recalled the following anecdote with the driver of the car in which he was traveling to his last audition:
“When I was going to my final audition, I was driving, I was very nervous, and there was this driver, a lovely guy, but too honest? And he was sitting there in the car, chatting with me, and chatting, non-stop… You know I’m a polite person, but I wanted to tell him ‘dude, please shut up, I’m trying to memorize my lines’. He was looking at me in the mirror and doing that [simula ajustar el espejo retrovisor] and he nodded ‘Yes’, looking at me in a really awkward way. And he said, ‘You know what, boy? I think you will. ‘ And I said, ‘Really? Why?!’ I was very excited to hear it. And he said, ‘You know what? I think you’re going to get it because the boy I just took there is very handsome. ‘
