Tom Hollandis standing tall.
In an interview published Thursday forGQ’s Men of the Year issue, the 25-year-old actor, who is 5'8, said he used to do anything to look taller in person, like wearing lifts in his shoes.
“I’d do this thing on red carpets where I would stand closer to the photographers than the people behind me,” he revealed. As he’s aged, Holland said he’s found confidence in controlling what he can.
“I cannot do anything about my height,” he toldGQ. “Icanput on more muscle.”
The star has been at the center of theSpider-Manuniverse since he first stepped into the role for the 2016 filmCaptain America: Civil War. While he wore a muscle suit for his superhero debut, the need for the extra padding has dissipated as he’s gotten older and stronger.

In the same interview, Holland hinted at leaving his breakout role in the future, suggesting that “maybe it is time for me to move on” from the franchise.

“Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film,” he explained. “I have to take Peter Parker into account as well, because he is an important part of my life.”
That said, the actor added, “If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.”
