Tom Holland, the 28-year-old Spider-Man star, has revealed his intention to take a break from acting once he becomes a father. In a recent interview with Men's Health magazine, Holland shared his vision for the future, stating "When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore."
The actor, who went public with his relationship with co-star Zendaya in 2021, expressed his desire to focus entirely on fatherhood and his passion for golf when that time comes. "Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth," Holland explained.
This revelation comes as Holland continues to build an impressive acting career. He is set to return as Peter Parker in the next Spider-Man film, scheduled to begin filming in summer 2025, and will appear alongside Zendaya in Christopher Nolan's upcoming project slated for 2026.
Holland's girlfriend Zendaya appears to share similar sentiments about balancing family life with fame. The actress previously expressed her wish to maintain a "safe and protected life" with her future family while selectively choosing her public appearances.
The couple, both 28, have been successfully managing their relationship while working together in Hollywood. Holland recently joked about the practical benefits of working with Zendaya on film sets, calling it "a saving grace" and "the best thing that's ever happened to me."
Before contemplating parenthood, Holland has already experienced stepping back from acting. He recently took a yearlong break, explaining, "It was just something I needed to do. I had been acting flat out since I was 11."
While fans may be disappointed by Holland's future plans to leave acting, his commitment to prioritizing family life demonstrates the same sincerity and authenticity that has endeared him to audiences worldwide.
