This Star Will Quit Acting When He Has Kids
By Movieguide® Contributor
SPIDER-MAN star Tom Holland is going to leave Hollywood when he has kids.
“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,” he said, adding that he’ll spend his time golfing and parenting. “Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.”
Holland has wanted to settle down for a while now.
In 2021, he said, “I’ve spent the last six years being so focused on my career. I want to take a break and focus on starting a family and figuring out what I want to do outside of this world.”
“I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait! If I’m at a wedding or a party, I’m always at the kids’ table hanging out,” he added. “My dad’s been such a great role model for me. I think I’ve got that from him. So I think I’d be a primary school teacher or something like that.”
In another interview, he hinted that might “disappear” forever when he has kids.
Holland has dated Zendaya since 2021. The actress also hinted that she wants kids and hopes they don’t have to “deal with” fame.
She said she’d like to “make things and pop out when I need to pop out, and then have a safe and protected life with my family, and not be worried that if I’m not delivering something all the time, or not giving all the time, that everything’s going to go away.”

The Brit said he loves starring with Zendaya, who’s performed in several SPIDER-MAN movies with Holland.
“It’s a saving grace. Best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he said.
He revealed ahead of Christmas that he’d be spending the holiday in America with her.
“I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun. Where we’ll be is a secret,” Holland said. “[Secret] to you guys,” he joked. “I’ll know where we’re going.”
They’ve been picking which family to spend Christmas with each year, but Holland wants to change that going forward.
“I think what we’d like to start doing is rather than spending it with each family each year is bring the families together,” he said. “That’s what I think we want to do next time.”
“This time, because we’re both actors, we’re terrible at organizing things, so it hasn’t happened yet. The thought’s there. The idea has been planted.”
