Tom Holland Plans Acting Break Post Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey in 2027: 'You Can't Do Your Best...'
Tom Holland has revealed he's planning to slow down in 2027 to avoid overworking himself. The Spider-Man actor shared with British GQ that after a packed schedule in 2026, he hopes to 'take a bit more time off' the following year. '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,' Holland told the magazine. 'You can't be in every movie, and you can't do your best work when you're burnt out.' The actor has already lined up two major projects for 2026: The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, where he plays Telemachus, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking his return as Peter Parker. Why Tom Holland is prioritizing mental health and rest Tom Holland shared how important it is to set boundaries. 'What I've learnt is that it's important to set boundaries, to be mindful about overworking,' he said. '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.' His comments follow a growing conversation around mental health in Hollywood. Holland previously took a year off in 2023 after working on The Crowded Room, saying it was something he 'needed' after acting non-stop since age 11. 'I had been acting flat out since I was 11,' he said. During his time off, Holland said the highlight was winning a golf tournament alongside his brothers and English golf pro Tommy Fleetwood. 'It was the best day of my life. I called my lady and was like, 'Listen, I'm thinking of turning pro,'' he joked. Here's what Tom Holland has said about stepping away permanently In a Men's Health interview earlier this year, Holland said he plans to retire from acting once he becomes a father. 'When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,' he shared. 'Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.' Holland, who is engaged to his Spider-Man co-star Zendaya, added that family and a quieter life are part of his long-term vision.

Tom Holland Addresses James Bond Casting Speculation
Yara Sameh Tom Holland is having one busy year with Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' and the Marvel tentpole 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' essentially filming back to back. The movies are Holland's first features since 2022's 'Uncharted,' and their theatrical releases next year will be the first time fans get to see him on screen since his Apple TV+ limited series 'The Crowded Room' in 2023. '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,' Holland recently told GQ UK magazine amid an intentional slow-down in his acting output. '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,' he added. '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 is back in busy mode, and he might get even busier if rumors about him being eyed to play the new James Bond turn out to be true. Denis Villeneuve is directing the next Bond movie for Amazon MGM with a script by 'Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight. Holland's name is often cited when it comes to speculation over who will take over 007 from Daniel Craig, which has only been heightened by reports of Amazon wanting a younger Bond actor this go-around. The new 007 movie is also being co-produced by Amy Pascal, who works closely with Holland on the 'Spider-Man' movies. 'Listen, there's speculation at the moment. We'll keep it to a minimum for now. We'll get there one day,' Holland recently told Gordon Ramsay , who then asked if Holland would 'love the opportunity' to play 007. 'Dude, I mean every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry,' Holland said. 'I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive you know, I could not have dreamed to have the career that I have.' Holland spoke openly in summer 2023 amid the release of 'The Crowded Room' about how he needed to take nearly a year off acting after filming the drama series because it took such an emotional toll on him. The series starred Holland as Danny Sullivan, who is arrested in summer 1979 due to his involvement in a shooting at Rockefeller Center. Holland was open about 'The Crowded Room' being tough to film and said 'that show did break me.' During his acting hiatus, the actor stayed busy by doing work with his charity The Holland Foundation and by launching the nonalcoholic beer brand Bero. He is back in full swing as an actor this year and even told GQ UK that he's eyeing an acting pivot in the future to a new genre. 'I think I'd love to do a straight-up comedy,' Holland added. 'That genre's really taken a hit over the last few years. We're seeing fewer and fewer of them. I'd love to do something where the question isn't, 'How do we bring emotion into this story?' but 'How do we make people laugh as much as possible?' That idea of coming to set every day with that mission sounds amazing to me.' Holland will have a busy summer 2026 when 'The Odyssey' opens in theaters July 17, 2026, followed by 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' on July 31, 2026. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

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

11 Actors Who Took Breaks From Hollywood And Why
Whether it's to focus on their personal lives or because they're incredibly burnt out, it's not uncommon for celebrities to take hiatuses from Hollywood. Here's a look at 11 actors' reasons for temporarily stepping back from the big screen: 1. Tom Holland took a year off from acting after his role in the series The Crowded Room took a huge toll on his mental health. 'I really enjoyed it, but then again, the show did break me… I'm now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was,' he shared in 2023. 2. Post-Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio took a break for a couple of years to escape the 'intense' public attention he was receiving. 'It was a very surreal time period. It was bizarre. I took a break for a couple of years because it was so intense. I needed to recharge and refocus,' he recalled in 2016. 3. In 2021, Jennifer Lawrence recalled stepping back from the spotlight after feeling like the public had gotten 'sick' of her. 'I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I'd gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn't do anything right,' she said. 4. Rachel McAdams took a 2-year break from acting in the 2000s after starring in a string of super successful films, like Mean Girls and The Notebook. 'I felt guilty for not capitalizing on the opportunity that I was being given, because I knew I was in such a lucky spot. But I also knew it wasn't quite jiving with my personality and what I needed to stay sane,' she shared. 5. In 2022, Sandra Bullock revealed that she was 'going to not spend time in front of the camera for a while' due to feeling 'so burnt out' and exhausted. 'I don't want to be beholden to anyone's schedule other than my own. I'm so burnt out. I'm so tired, and I'm so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions, and I know it,' she said. 6. Brendan Fraser stepped away from the spotlight after experiencing sexual assault in 2003 by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Phillip W. Berk. The HFPA found that Berk 'inappropriately touched' Brendan but it was "intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance." Brendan eventually made his comeback in the 2022 film The Whale, which landed him a Best Actor Oscar nomination. 7. Cameron Diaz took a 10-year hiatus from acting, focusing on her personal life. After marrying Good Charlotte singer Benji Madden in 2015 and becoming a mom of two, Cameron eventually made her return to screens, starring in the 2025 Netflix film Back in Action. 8. A few years ago, Emma Watson recalled taking a long break from the industry after she began feeling 'caged' and limited. Admitting that she 'wasn't very happy,' Emma explained, 'I think I felt a bit caged. The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn't have very much control over. To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, 'How does this align with your viewpoint?' It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn't get to be involved in the process.' 9. In 2022, Chris Hemsworth revealed he was taking a break from acting after discovering that he had a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease. 'I'm going home, and I'm going to have a good chunk of time off and just simplify. Be with the kids, be with my wife,' he said, later adding, 'I wanted to take off because I've been working for 10 years, and I've got three kids that I want to spend more time with.' 10. Matthew McConaughey once stepped away from the spotlight after feeling like he was being typecast in Hollywood and therefore struggling to bag the roles he wanted. After a 2-year hiatus, he eventually made his return in films like Dallas Buyers Club and The Wolf of Wall Street. 11. In 2023, Emily Blunt revealed she was taking a year off from acting to spend more meaningful time with her children. 'This year, I'm not working. I worked quite a bit last year and my oldest baby is 9, so we're in the last year of single digits,' she said. 12. Josh Hartnett — who was literally everywhere from the late 90s to mid 00s — stepped away from the limelight after finding his immense fame 'overwhelming.' He shared in 2021, 'I really enjoy making films, but the industry itself was overwhelming for a 21-year-old kid. The press was a little bit different back then; there was paparazzi around every corner — you couldn't really go anywhere without being sort of harassed.' 13. And finally, Daniel Kaluuya revealed that he took a break from acting for a year and a half after feeling 'disillusioned' by the lack of jobs he was being offered due to racism. 'I checked out, because I was just like, this isn't working. I wasn't getting roles, because racism and all this kind of stuff—so [Jordan Peele] reaching out was like, 'Okay, I'm not crazy. It's proper. It's going to be all right,'' he shared during an interview with Essence. Can you think of any more examples? Let me know in the comments.
