Tom Holland doesn't want to be overworked as an actor
Tom Holland is concerned about "overworking" as he has two big movies lined up for release in 2026.
Tom Holland is wary about "overworking".
The 29-year-old actor has a busy year in store in 2026 with movies The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day both scheduled for release and he has suggested that he will "take a bit more time off" the following year as he looks to manage his workload.
Tom told GQ magazine: "I feel really blessed to be at a point in my career where I can take time off, reset, and come back ready to go.
"You can't be in every movie, and you can't do your best work when you're burnt out.
"What I've learnt is that it's important to set boundaries - to be mindful about overworking. I've got a slightly busy year next year, and then I'll probably take a bit more time off in 2027. We'll see."
Holland has been tipped as a potential replacement for Daniel Craig as James Bond and admits that playing 007 would represent the "pinnacle" of his career.
He said in conversation with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay: "Dude, I mean every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry.
"I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive you know, I could not have dreamed to have the career that I have."
Tom - who is in a relationship with his Spider-Man co-star Zendaya - revealed earlier this year that he intends to quit acting once he has had children as will be happy spending time with them and playing rounds of golf.
He told Men's Health magazine: "When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore.
"Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth."
Tom previously took a year-long sabbatical as he felt he "needed" a break from acting work after appearing in the TV series The Crowded Room.
He said: "It was just something I needed to do. I had been acting flat out since I was 11."
The Uncharted star recalled that the highlight of his time away from the spotlight was coming out on top in a golf tournament with two of his brothers and English pro Tommy Fleetwood.
He quipped: “It was the best day of my life. I called my lady and was like, 'Listen, I’m thinking of turning pro.'"
