-Our first guest tonight is a talented actor
who you know from his work as Peter Parker
from both the "Spider-Man" movies
and the "Avengers" franchise.
His latest film, "Uncharted," is in theaters and IMAX now.
Let's take a look.
-Do you think it's another puzzle?
-Well, whatever it is, you better figure it out fast.
I'm gonna try and buy us some time.
Hey, can I get you a drink?
-Gin and tonic, por favor.
-This definitely isn't a gin and tonic, but it is on the house.
-Gracias.
-Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me guess, piña colada?

-[ Grunting ] [ Crowd gasps ]
-The eye.
-[ Grunting ]
-Think you're a comedian there, sunshine.
-Okay, I got it, I got it.
Sex on the Beach.
-Please welcome back to the show
our friend Tom Holland, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Welcome back, my friend.
-Hello, mate. It's good to be back.
-It's great to have you here.
Last time you were here --
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Oh. -This is very appropriate
because, you know, last time you were here,
you were promoting the new "Spider-Man" film.
-Yes, I was, yeah.
-And it's done quite well for itself.
-Yeah, the studio were happy.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
It's interesting, with your show,
I feel like you can do a, like,
through the ages of me growing up.
I came here, I don't know, I was maybe 19.
I'm 25 now. -Yep.
-It's always great to be back here, mate.
So thanks for having me back.
-And every time you come, I say to you --
I'm like, "I don't think it's going to work.
I don't think show biz is going to work for you."
And you keep ignoring me, and I'm so happy.
-Yeah, constantly [bleep] myself.
-But a tremendous -- I mean, a movie that is so deserved.
And one thing, of course, every time you're here,
especially if it's for anything Marvel, one of the problems is,
you have to promote a film that you can say very little about.
-Very true, very true, yeah.
I am a very honest person just by nature.
-Yeah.
-Which has got me into trouble in the past.
-Yeah. It seems like you're even nervous now
you're going to spoil a movie that everyone has seen.
-That is already out there. -Yeah.
-But every time I say, like, "So Tobey --"
I'm like, "Shh, shut up, don't say that."
But yeah, I'm just very honest.
So on the press tour, you know, journalists are like,
"So were Tobey and Andrew in this movie?"
I'm like, "No, they're not. Stop asking me that."
And I go home and I almost can't sleep
because I feel so bad for lying all the time.
-Yeah. -I'm, like, calling up my mom.
I'm like, "I just feel so guilty for all the lies."
[ Laughter ]
-Have you -- You should just go,
you should call all those journalists
and be like, "I'm so sorry." -I know, yeah.
-"I feel terrible about it. I hope you understand."
-Yeah, I don't feel that sorry, though.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
What was -- I mean, that is the spoiler that could not be said
that we can now let the world know.
But what was it like to work with Andrew and Tobey,
the previous Spider-Men?
-Honestly, mate, it was
the most incredible experience of my career.
To share the screen with them --
You know, playing Spider-Man,
while being a wonderful experience
and, like, completely life-changing,
it also can be quite alienating.
You know, when you're 19
and someone gives you this opportunity
and your life changes,
it's quite hard to figure out how to navigate.
So to almost have like two older brothers
that had been through it before me,
to be able to share that experience with them
was amazing.
And I remember we were shooting this scene,
which was really emotional --
like, a really, really emotional scene,
and I was struggling to find the emotion just because, you know,
when you make these big movies,
it can take two days to shoot a scene.
I'd been crying for days on end.
So I went up to Andrew and Tobey --
I nearly said Spider-Man and Spider-Man.
[ Laughter ]
And I basically just said,
"Thank you, thank you for being here.
Thank you for taking the time
to be a part of this, you know, incredible opportunity.
It means the world to me."
And we all embraced, and we all started crying.
And I remember the writers sort of seeing that,
being like, "Yep, that's how we're going to end the film.
[ Laughter ]
That's brilliant. Well done, Tom."
And then the end of the film is us having this moment
where I'm like, "Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it."
And then we have this beautiful hug, so it was's nice.
-That's really great that you can both talk about
the experience of playing Spider-Man,
which is obviously unique to you guys,
and also wearing the Spider-Man suit.
Because not a lot of people, you know, do it at that level.
It's just, like, the three of you
and that guy in Times Square.
-I'll give you a spoiler.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. -You don't want to hug him.
Do not hug him. -I'll give you a spoiler,
and I'm not going to tell you who,
but one of us has a fake ass in their suit.
-Really? [ Laughter ]
Wow.
-You can figure out that for yourselves.
-Well.
I mean, see, this is a real -- This is, you know --
Everybody thinks you're such a nice guy,
but you're all about ticket sales.
Because now everybody is going back out
to try to find the fake ass.
-I remember being on set and being like,
"Wow! Oh, hang on a minute.
No, that's not real." -Right?
At the wrap party, you're like, "Where'd his ass go?"
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-This is -- This is very fun, to do a film like this.
And I want to mention the clip real quick.
You actually looked like you had some bartending skills.
And I asked about it,
and you actually did take this seriously.
You did a little bit of bartending classes.
-Yeah, it was an interesting one.
Nathan Drake as a character
is someone who is incredibly capable
but in no way, shape, or form trained.
So I wanted to find something
where I could convince the audiences of his skill,
and I'd seen on YouTube this flair bartending,
and I thought it was always really cool.
So I thought that would be a great way
to demonstrate to the audiences that he's quite handy.
So I started taking bartending classes,
and I actually went to my favorite bar in London
and managed to convince the bartenders
to let me go behind the bar.
So I ended up working these kind of undercover shifts.
I had, like, the white tuxedo on and everything.
-Yeah. -But then the management team
found out, and I haven't been allowed back since.
-In what -- in what --
I was going to say when you had to convince them,
like, in what world do people say, "No, Tom Holland.
You don't have your bartender's license."
-I think the big part of it was that, like,
they're charging a lot of money and my drinks taste like [bleep]
-Oh, I see. -And the patrons weren't happy.
-Yeah, like on Yelp, they were like,
"While the espresso martini was made by Tom Holland,
it tasted like [bleep]"
Three stars. -Yeah, exactly.
-I have more questions about "Uncharted."
We'll be right back with more from Tom Holland.
