British Hollywood star Tom Holland has revealed he was an alcoholic and that giving up drinking was "the best thing I've ever done". Known for his roles in Spider-Man and the Avengers films, he opened up about his drinking struggles in the latest episode of the On Purpose podcast with Jay Shetty.
After what he calls a "very very boozy Christmas last year", Holland decided to take part in Dry January - an initiative set up by Alcohol Change UK in 2013, where people stop drinking alcohol for the entire month. It was then when Holland realised he may have a drinking problem.
The 27-year-old said: "All I could think about was having a drink … It really scared me. I just was like, 'Wow, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing'."
