established himself as one of the most talented young actors and deservingly was
mentioned on the list. Along with him, Florence Pugh
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/florence-pugh] was also on the list, who will
later join the actor in MCU as Yelena Belova. Another familiar name on the list
is Peaky Blinders [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/peaky-blinders] and Queen’s

A big reason they selected Holland for the role of Peter Parker was his
gymnastic skills. The actor revealed he somersaulted in and out of the frame
while auditioning. Joe Russo even confirmed this while talking about it to
Entertainment Weekly.
[https://ew.com/article/2015/12/03/spider-man-captain-america-civil-war/] He is
also a trained ballet dancer, something for which they bullied him a lot. He
shared [https://www.gq.com/story/tom-holland-superhero-of-the-year-2021], “To a
bunch of 10-year-olds who all play rugby, Tom Holland doing ballet in the gym
isn’t that cool.”

TOM IS PRETTY OPEN ABOUT HIS DYSLEXIA DIAGNOSIS

While many may try to hide their shortcomings, the Chaos Walking
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/chaos-walking] is one of those people who wear
them on their sleeves. Hence, when it comes to his diagnosis of dyslexia, we see
that he is pretty open about it. In 2021 he appeared on an 11-year-old reporter,
Jazlyn Guerra’s show, “Jazzy’s World.”

The young reporter asked many amazing questions. One of them was about the
impact of dyslexia on his career. Holland gave an exquisite answer for it. Tom
Holland [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/tom-holland] said, “It’s just about taking
your time. The better prepared you are for anything, the more you will be able
to do and accomplish things that are fantastic.”

Yeah, that is actually true. Or beloved Spider-Man

up carpentry in case acting didn’t work out for him. His mother had signed him
up for carpentry school as many of their family members were carpenters and it
seemed like the right thing to do. Holland still auditioned for a couple of
movies after joining the school, the last of which was MCU’s Captain America:
Civil War. According to him, he was still in his class
