16 Years Old Tom Holland, Outside Marvel, Gave an Impeccable Performance in His Film Debut, Streaming on Netflix
Sometimes, an actor gets recognition for outstanding performance and that stays with him/her forever. When we say Robert Downey Jr. our mind directly goes to Iron Man. When we hear Benedict Cumberbatch, our mind thinks of Dr. Strange, and when someone says the name Tom Holland… Yes, Spider-Man! But Tom Holland, like every other actor, has something unique and remarkable about him.
Of course, whenever we hear Tom Holland‘s name now, we directly imagine him as the Spider-Man. While he is our favorite spider-man, did you know he only entered the industry at the age of 16? Yes, Tom Holland made his debut film at the age of 16, in the movie named The Impossible (Spanish: Lo Imposible). He plays one of the lead child actors, Lucas.
