Tom Holland has opened up about his insecurities and revealed that he's struggled with his height throughout his acting career.

You don't have to be a huge Spider-Man fan to know that Tom Holland is one of the most famous actors in the entire world. The 25-year-old first rose to fame playing the titular role of Billy Elliot in the West End musical. Since then, he's become a household name thanks to his portrayal of Peter Parker in the M.C.U. and fans worldwide have fallen in love with him.

However, in spite of his success, Tom has insecurities just like everyone else. He's self-conscious about his height.

How tall is Tom Holland?​

Tom Holland is 5 feet 8 inches tall. Chatting with GQ about his flaws, Tom explained: "One of my biggest faults is that I'm an impossible people pleaser. I don’t like the idea of people not liking me. So I will do whatever I can do to make that not the case."

Tom revealed that this led to an obsession with his height and body. He said: "I'd do this thing on red carpets where I would stand closer to the photographers than the people behind me [to look taller]."

He added that he's since learned to focus on what he can actually control: "I cannot do anything about my height. I can put on more muscle."

Speaking about his upcoming film Uncharted with Mark Wahlberg, Tom said: "I saw him walk onto set in his costume and I was like, 'F***, he is twice my size.' After the [COVID] lockdown, we had five months off, and I just ate and trained and ate and trained. When I got back on set, the first thing he said to me was, 'Wow, somebody has been training.'"

We love you whatever size you are Tom!

[God of Nothing]

This little cracker is rich and famous. Height no longer affects him.

You don't have to be a huge Spider-Man fan to know that Tom Holland is one of the most famous actors in the entire world.

literally who?

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

1. Find tall women to mommy you, and pay them for it with Marvel money.
2. Take horrifying cocktails of drugs and growth hormones and become 8 feet tall.
3. Whole body transplant.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

literally who?

Some faggot. Damn it feels good to be completely unmoored from pop culture for the last five years.

 

[Red Hood]

I'd tell him to don't sweat it and enjoy it while it lasts, kid. You won't be a heartthrob forever but you will be a Britbong Manlet forever.

 

[Internet's Boyfriend]

Tom Holland is 5 feet 8 inches tall

His Hollywood height is 5'8. I guarantee you he's no taller than 5'6.

Anyway it's weird that he's focusing on his height when he should worry about the whole frog-in-mouth thing he has going on.

 

[Crazedking]

im sure all the soylet fat short balding consoomer will identify with this rich white hollywood elite's plight.

He can always stack enough money to be over 6ft tall.

 

[OttoWest]

Never stopped manlets emeriti Tom Cruise or RDJ.

 

[Frostnipped Todger]

Isn't 5'8" the height that Ben Shapiro pretends that he is?

 

[BlueSpark]

There are actually surgeries to increase height. They're apparently very painful and physiotherepy is required for a long time afterwards (and there's a large risk that there will be leg problems later in life):

Is There a Surgery to Get Taller?

Surgery to get taller, also known as limb-lengthening surgery, involves using surgical approaches to stimulate bone growth in the legs. We explain methods, outcomes, and more.

[Hereitis]

Its true he can't do anything about being a Manlet. I feel sorry for height challenged people.

Just remember tho. Being 6ft technically makes you tall. Or the other way to look at it is you are the shortest of the tall people.

However I would rather be bald than short.

 

[Transniglet]

Cute girls literally throw themselves at you if you're over 6ft and have a noticeable bulge down there. So easy to pick up. I feel sympathy for the manlets, life is pretty unfair to the vast majority of them.

 

[Llama king]

Sounds like a first world problem

 

[Dagobert]

God I wish that were me. I've got a thing for tall women, and being taller than 99% of women is pain. Manlets don't understand the possibilities they have, all but actual midgets get to chose between women who are shorter than them or taller, or of the same height. Even decently tall men will always be taller than women.

Anywho, as faggy as it is, I can't be too upset. Being unhappy with your body can happen to anyone even if it doesn't really make sense, and he isn't being a huge cunt about it.

 

[Sex Cannon Lupa]

lol you can look at that little bastard and tell he's not 5' 8".

Adding three inches is a very hollywood thing to do. Marky Mark claims to be 5' 10" but is really 5' 7". Justin Beiber is 5' 6" but claims to be 5' 9". Holland is 5' 5". He needs to embrace it like Prince and Robert Downey Jr., chadlets who embraced their shortness and strutted around in pumps while getting all the pussy.

 

[Baroque]

He should be more self conscious about his face if we're being honest. He's already cracking pretty noticing in the face profile photo above He's British so he's got droopy-dog tendencies in his genes already and that's clearly running unabated.
