Tom Holland says Zendaya threatened to leave him if he chose Christopher Nolan’s movie over Spider-Man
“To be honest, when I got home after our meeting, I sat down with Z and was like, ‘I’ve been offered this movie.’”
“And she was like, ‘By who?’ And I was like, ‘It’s the big one.’ And she was like, ‘Chris?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, it’s Chris Nolan.’”
“Spider-Man was literally scheduled to go the same day that we would start shooting, and Z said, ‘I’ll leave you if you don’t do the other one.’”
Alan Ritchson says he pushed his body to the limit to gain 30 pounds for his role as Reacher, only to discover afterward that he had exhausted his testosterone levels.
“I was 205, 6-3, 205. I needed to put on 30 pounds for the role.”
“I built a gym in my house, and I worked my ass off. You cannot believe how hard I worked. Every day, like it was my life depended on it.”
“And I did it without any help. No steroids, no testosterone, nothing. Just hard work.”
“I go to the doctor, and ‘Let’s do a blood panel.’ He’s like, ‘Oh, you have no testosterone.’ I was like, ‘Okay, you know, I guess I beat it out of myself.’”
“So we started on testosterone, and it was like, ‘Oh my god, like a new me.’”
Tom Holland playfully tries to get Chris Pratt to name him as his favorite actor
Tom Holland asks Chris Pratt to name his favorite actor, but Pratt picks Denzel Washington instead.

After guessing Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Tom Hardy, Pratt finally gets it and says, “Hiddleston,” leaving Holland’s joke unanswered.
Tom Holland says he went pantsless for a virtual press appearance, but kept his socks on because his toes were cold
“That's yeah, it's only the waist up, man. And that's I I thought that was I thought that was rad.”
“I haven't grown hair on my legs yet. Hey, look, I'll give you a little little glance.”
“Yeah, cause it's cold. Of course. Of course it is. Yeah, I get it. Cause I can't wear this suit jacket, and the suit jacket's too hot. Yeah. But I have my legs out cause it's nice and freeing, but then my toes get cold, so I wear my socks.”
Tom Holland says he messed up a dangerous underwater stunt so badly that the crew had to fly to Barcelona to reshoot it
“I probably did that about four or five times, but I did it wrong, so I caused them to fly over and out to Barcelona to reshoot it.”
“The first time I did it, I belly flopped. A lot of cuts and bruises, yeah. I got a few scars to show for it.”
“I’d come home from work and be scrubbing off the fake cuts and realize that they’re real, and then they’d have to incorporate them into the film because of continuity.”
Alan Ritchson says he had to hit a drunk man who repeatedly confronted him and shoved him off his bike while he was trying to leave with his kids
“He's stepping in my grill and I push him back. And I get close to him, and I smell alcohol. And I was like, oh.”
“I go to leave, and he gets in front of my bike again. He shoves me, two-handed shoves me off the bike.”
“I've got to protect me and I've got to protect my kids and I've got to get us off the street safely, and that means getting him out of the picture.”
“I hit the guy. And as it's happening, I'm like, I really can't hurt this—I don't want to knock him out. I don't want to break a bone.”
“I make $750k a year, I own a business, and I’m drowning in $4,000,000 of debt… I feel like my whole life is about to collapse.”
Caller: “Dave… I’ve got SBA loans on the coffee shop, personal car notes, a mortgage, and even the IRS breathing down my neck. I’m making great money, but every cent is tied up. I am suffocating.”
Dave: “Stop. Right now. You are drowning because you’re trying to juggle ten flaming torches at once while standing on a unicycle.
You’ve got $750k coming in, but you’re treating your business like a playground. We are cleaning this up today.”
Caller: “Where do we even start? The numbers are massive.”
Dave: “First: Stop flipping houses. Cut out the shiny distractions and focus exclusively on your core coffee shop business to maximize profit.
Second: Immediate cleanup. We are wiping out that $250,000 in car debt and the $55,000 IRS debt right now. No hesitation.”
Caller: “And the big stuff? The SBA loans and the rest of the business debt?”
Dave: “Once the personal debt is gone, 70 to 80 percent of your coffee shop's monthly net profit goes straight toward aggressively paying down those SBA loans. You set aside a clean 20 to 30 percent for retained earnings, and the rest becomes a debt-shredding machine.
Stick to this, and outside of your mortgage, you will be completely debt-free in three years.”
Caller: “Three years? Just like that?”
Dave: “Just like that. And listen to me—once you are debt-free, you fund your business expansion with cash, never borrowing another dime. Take back your life.”
Jake Gyllenhaal says Marvel press tours feel like a “four-handed massage” compared to normal movie press tours
“Normal press tours are incredible, but a Marvel press tour is like a four-handed massage. A normal press tour is like a regular massage, which is really nice.”
When Stephen Colbert asked if he had actually experienced one, Jake clarified, “No, I’m just imagining what a four-handed massage would be like.”
The conversation then turned into a joke about spa treatments, with Colbert joking that the owner of the Patriots had supposedly experienced one.
