Tom Holland

Before finding fame as Spider-Man, Tom Holland tried out for the role of Finn in the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy but his inability to be serious cost him a chance of joining the sci-fi franchise.

Tom told Backstage: "I remember my audition for Star Wars. I was like four or five auditions in, and I think I was auditioning for John Boyega's role. I remember doing this scene with this lady, bless her, and she was just a drone.

"So I was doing all of this, like, 'We gotta get back to the ship!' And she was going, 'Bleep, bloop bloop, bleep bloop.' I just couldn't stop laughing. I found it so funny. And I felt really bad, because she was trying really hard to be a convincing android or drone or whatever they're called. Yeah, I obviously didn't get the part. That wasn't my best moment."
