Tom Hollandis down to hostthe Oscars.
The 25-year-oldSpider-Man: No Way Homeactor is booked and busy at the moment, but when asked in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporterif he would say yes to hosting the 2022 Academy Awards if approached, he said he would make it happen. But at first, Holland felt his schedule might be too full.
“Honestly, I just don’t have the time,” continued Holland. “And you know I would love to do that — I love that kind of thing, I love being put under pressure and doing things that I feel uncomfortable doing. So I’m interested in it, but I just don’t have the time.”
According toTHR, Holland called back two minutes after the interview ended to take back what he said.
“I just wanted to quickly backtrack on what I said. You asking me aboutthe Oscars— you’re the first person to bring that up — and I’m sitting here going, ‘Of course I would host the f—— Oscars!’ " said Holland. “I just went to the bathroom and I was looking at myself in the mirror and I was like, ‘What kind of f—— idiot wouldn’t hostthe Oscars?’ "
“So yeah, if they ask me to, I would, and it would be very fun. I would really enjoy it,” he said.

Holland also explained whether he would like to host the awards show solo or with a partner. “Either/or. I don’t mind,” he said. “By myself would be great, and with someone I love would be even better. I think a shared experience is always better than a solo experience. I’m happy with either, but it would be a very fun evening — I’m sure very stressful, but it would be a lot of fun.”
