Tom Holland has never been shy about a bit of self-deprecating humour, and this time he is bringing his entire The Odyssey family with him. As Christopher Nolan's epic continues its press tour, the actor has been juggling all sorts of questions about his castmates, including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya. Yet it was one unexpected answer on the Dish podcast that had fans laughing even harder than anything seen in the trailer.

During a rapid-fire round of questions ranging from dinner-party hosts to restaurant reservations, Tom Holland delivered what quickly became the interview's funniest moment, cracking a joke about himself that stole the moment.

Speaking on the Dish podcast, Holland did not hold back when asked which cast member he would trust with something as basic as booking a table.

"To be honest, I wouldn't trust any of us," he said. "We're all a bunch of useless actors that have assistants and all that sort of stuff." He even added that just thinking about making the reservation himself was enough to make him nervous, driving home just how used to having help this ensemble has become.

When asked about who would make the best dinner party host, Holland did not think twice before naming Hathaway.

"I think she'd have, like, good crockery, tablecloth," he said on Dish, before turning the joke on himself. "I don't think I have two of the same plate in my house," he admitted, laughing at the state of his own kitchen. As the rapid-fire questions continued, Holland was asked who had the best taste in restaurants, and he named Zendaya.

Calling his wife his go-to for restaurant recommendations, Tom Holland praised Zendaya's adventurous palate. He revealed that she uses the restaurant discovery app Beli to keep track of new spots. The praise continued when Holland was asked who he would take on a holiday to Greece. He quickly chose his partner again, then joked about how awkward the alternative would be.

"It would be strange to say, 'Sorry, babe, I am going to take Matt.'" He then imagined a boys' trip with Damon instead, laughing, "Actually, imagine having 10 days in Mykonos with Matt Damon."
