Tom Holland doesn't want to be overworked as an actor
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.'"

Yungblud plays surprise gig on London's famous Denmark Street as he opens store and fan club
Yungblud gave fans attending the launch of his Beautifully Romanticised Accidently Traumatized fan club in London a surprise street performance. The 27-year-old rocker announced via social media that he was set to open his "first ever store and fan club" in the city on August 7, at 20 Denmark Street. And those who headed down to the venue on Thursday (07.08.25) were in for a treat, as the topless Fleabag rocker put on an impromptu set dressed only in a Union Jack kilt. Fans were treated to performances of The Funeral, Strawberry Lipstick, Zombie, and Lovesick Lullaby. The famous street is steeped in music history, with the likes of The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Sir Elton John, The Kinks, Black Sabbath, and The Sex Pistols having all either recorded, rehearsed or lived there. Yungblud had an important message about keeping the street - which was nicknamed London's Tin Pan Alley - alive. He said: "I f****** love you. Welcome to Denmark Street. "Keep Denmark Street alive. Keep British f****** music alive. Keep British music powerful. I love you all so much. Get home safe and I'll see you tomorrow." Inviting fans to come on down, Yungblud - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - had penned on X: "I'm so excited to announce the opening of my first ever store and fan club. Welcome to 'beautifully romanticised accidentally traumatized'. Number 20 Denmark Street in the heart of central London. We open on the 7th of August and you're all invited. It's the biggest party I've ever thrown. (sic)" Yungblud explained to fans that the venue is "a place to be yourself and find people with similar ideas to you." He wrote: "This building is a literal physical space where you can place your hands upon its bricks and belong. Here we have built a place to be yourself and find people with similar ideas to you. Whether it be to buy the clothes we make, come for a coffee, buy a beer, watch music, do an art class or just come and play pool you're welcome, all we demand from you is that you spread the love." Yungblud subsequently explained the significance of the venue's location. He wrote on the micro-blogging platform: "This street, Denmark Street has paved the way for The Best of British music since the 1950s. I grew up on the street. It has always been my dream to have a building here. YOU made that dream come true and im eternally in your debt. I'm running this place with my best friends so so please come and support to keep this heart beating. "Come down and celebrate. "Sign up. I'll see you there. (sic)" Yungblud actually teased details of his plans in July, revealing that the venue will feature a "leopard pool table". Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, he explained: "I want people to hang out, meet and have a physical space to make real connections in this virtual world. There will be a leopard pool table downstairs."

The jaw-dropping fortune late cricket great Shane Warne left his three kids revealed including Mornington Peninsula estate and millions in foreign shares
The late Shane Warne left an extraordinary fortune to his loved ones, with court documents now revealing exactly how the Aussie cricket great divided his estate, and how his son Jackson is honouring him with a project they once planned together. Warne, affectionately known as 'Warnie', died suddenly on March 4, 2022, aged 52, after suffering a heart attack while holidaying in Thailand. His last will, dated December 3, 2021 and released by the Supreme Court almost a year after his death, stated that his three children, Brooke, 28, Jackson, 26, and Summer, 23, were each to inherit 31 per cent of his estate. The $20.7 million fortune included a Portsea home on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula valued at $6.5 million, a $1.2 million deposit on a St Kilda property, $5 million in a Commonwealth Bank account, more than $260,000 in shares, $514,000 in overseas bank accounts, and $2.85 million in foreign shares. The King of Spin's prized personal vehicle collection, a BMW, a Mercedes-Benz and a Yamaha motorbike, worth $375,500, was left to Jackson, whom he described as his "best mate". The remainder of his estate went to his younger brother, Jason (two per cent), and Jason's children, Tyla and Sebastian (two and a half per cent each). Nothing was left to his ex-wife and mother of his children, Simone Callahan, nor to his former fiancée, British actor Elizabeth Hurley. Warne, regarded as one of cricket's greatest-ever players, went on to build a thriving business career after retiring from the sport in 2007. He founded gin label 708 Gin in 2019, with one of its varieties winning gold at the Australian Gin Awards, and launched his own fragrance, SW23, in 2020. He was also a prominent fixture in the commentary box, primarily with Fox Sports (formerly Fox Cricket) and the Nine Network. It was perhaps his gift of the gab that was passed on to Jackson, who on Wednesday announced his new podcast, 'Warnes Way', inspired by his late father. Jackson revealed that the podcast was an idea the father-son duo had discussed back in 2018. "Dad was talking to Fox about doing one together and I liked the dynamic of a father-son podcast," Jackson told the Herald Sun. "It was in February this year that I fully committed to doing it." Jackson, a professional poker player, revealed that he set up a studio in his father's old office so it "feels like he's there". "We've got all his memorabilia, his book, his ashtray, it's really special," he said. Jackson's girlfriend, Kiah Broadsmith, is helping with filming and editing the series, which has already featured guests including Eddie McGuire, Aaron Finch and Andrew Bassat. "One of my biggest fears is I used to be so shy and be so introverted," Jackson admitted. "Ever since I got on stage at dad's memorial and did my speech it was a weight lifted off my shoulders and I felt comfortable to talk." The 26-year-old also described the podcast as "a bit of therapy for me". "I don't see a therapist, but when I talk to people like Mark Howard and Eddie McGuire, it's so personal and we talk about stories with dad," he said. After announcing the launch of 'Warne's Way' on social media, Jackson was showered with praise from family, friends, and fans alike. "So exciting so proud of you and Kiah," mum Simone, 55, wrote with love heart emojis. "SO SO SOOOO AMAZING! Proud is an understatement!!!!!! You and @kiahbroadsmithh have worked SO hard! So proud of you both xxxx," Brooke added, while Summer commented: "Go Jacko!!". Alongside the podcast, Jackson and his sisters continue their father's work through the Shane Warne Legacy foundation, which promotes heart health awareness and provides free heart checks.
