Tom Holland Has Got No Time For The Upcoming Academy Awards

Tom Holland recently shared his thoughts about hosting the 2022 Academy Awards, saying of the probable gig, “By myself would be great, and with someone I love would be even better”.

Fans are so grateful that the 25-year-old is down for the challenge despite previously arguing that his busy schedule would keep him from accepting the gig.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he revealed that he is so booked that hosting the 2022 Academy Awards is far from his mind at the moment.

“Maybe in the future, but in all honesty I’m just too busy right now. I don’t have the time,” he said at first. “I’ve got an Uncharted press tour to do, and then I start shooting in early March for this TV show which is going to take up a lot of my time and is definitely the hardest role I’ve ever taken on. So maybe one day in the future. But no, not right now.”

“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.”

Per THR, Holland called back two minutes after the interview ended to admit it was wrong of him to say that he wouldn’t be able to host the Oscars if approached with the honor.

“I just wanted to quickly backtrack on what I said. You asking me about the 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 host the Oscars?’ “

“So yeah, if they ask me to, I would, and it would be very fun. I would really enjoy it,” he said.

As for his preferred way of hosting the popular awards show, he shared that he didn’t mind if he did it solo, but a suitable partner would be gratefully accepted.

“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.”

Asked whether he would enlist costar Zendaya to co-host with him, he replied: “I could run it by her. But as for her answer, I’m not too sure.”
