Tom Holland reveals Marvel Driver Insulted his Appearance

In a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Tom Holland detailed a story from his audition process for Spider-Man in Captain America Civil War.

"It was pretty typical, a typical process, it was just on a much grander scale. It was something that went over seven months, and I think I did seven or eight different auditions, I flew out to Atlanta multiple times for different screen tests. When I was going for my last audition, I was driving there, I was very nervous, and I had this driver. Lovely guy, but a little bit too honest. He’s sort of sitting there in the car, and he’s chatting to me, chatting to me, chatting to me, and I’m a polite person, but I also wanna be like ‘Mate, please shut up, I’m trying to learn my line.’ And he’s looking at me in the mirror and he’s doing that thing, and he’s sort of sitting there really awkwardly. He’s looking at me, and he goes, ‘You know what, kid? I think you’re gonna get it.’ I’m like, ‘Really? Why?’ I was excited to hear that. And he goes ‘You know what? I think you’re gonna get it. Because the kid that I just drove there, he is so good looking.’ And I’m like ‘Geez, that’s exactly the confidence booster I need.’ And then I got the part, I was lucky enough. I saw him a few months later when I was shooting the film, and he goes. ‘I told you.’ I was like ‘What did you tell me? That I was gonna get the part or that I was ugly?’”
