Tom Holland has shared a funny story from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The actor admitted one scene made him so uncomfortable that he ended up feeling “really grumpy” instead of looking his best.
The moment happened while filming a shirtless bathhouse scene with Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova.
Holland said he decided to try a dehydration trick that many actors use before filming.
He stopped drinking water before the shoot and then drank a lot later, hoping it would make his muscles stand out more on camera.
But things didn’t go as planned.
Zendaya’s husband said the only thing the routine did was leave him in a bad mood. While looking back, he believes all that effort made almost no difference on how he looked on screen.
The scene shows Peter Parker visiting Yelena at a Russian bathhouse while trying to find answers about the danger he is facing.
Before talking to him, Yelena tells Peter to remove anything he could be hiding, leaving him with nothing but his underwear while still wearing his Spider Man mask.
Holland also praised Florence Pugh for making the day fun, sharing that she kept everyone laughing and helped make the awkward scene much easier to film.
Moreover, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon were not on set that day.
