Tom Holland reveals how his sober lifestyle has helped him achieve success in his acting career.

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day actor, who stopped drinking in January 2022, told USA Today, “I’ve been so lucky in the last four years that my career has really blossomed in a really lovely way.”

“I really love what’s happening and what I have to come in the future,” explained the 29-year-old.

Tom went on saying, “I don’t know how much of that would’ve come to fruition had I still been drinking.”

The Uncharted actor noted that drinking was something that was really getting in the way of his professional life.

“Being an actor and living your life on the big stage can be really stressful. And I think that alcohol, for me personally, really compounded that issue,” stated Tom.

After getting rid of the booze, the Odyssey actor admitted he started feeling more like himself and even waking up clear headed every day and fresh to start the day.

“I just feel so much more confident in myself as who I am as a person,” he added.
