Tom Holland: Spider-Man Stunts Tougher After 30

Tom Holland, who has reprised his role as Spider-Man for the seventh time in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," has openly discussed the physical demands of the superhero stunts. The actor admitted that performing these stunts is more challenging now than when he first started playing the character at 18, requiring him to take more breaks.

Interestingly, Holland's need to stretch and take breaks directly inspired a memorable gag in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." This scene, where his character performs a stretching routine before a fight, was a direct reflection of Holland's own physical experience. He and director Destin Daniel Cretton even considered extending the bit further, showcasing a collaborative and fun set environment.

Holland, who turned 30 in June, has previously expressed sentiments about aging out of the role, having once stated he would have "done something wrong" if still playing Spider-Man after 30. He recently humorously revised this, suggesting the age might need to be closer to 37. Despite these comments, the actor continues to embody the character, demonstrating his commitment and physical readiness for the role.
