How tall is Spider-Man: Far From Home star Tom Holland? Even at the tender age of 23 Tom Holland has already amassed an extremely impressive filmography. Holland began his showbiz career early, playing the titular character in Billy Elliott The Musical on stage at age 12. From there, it was a swift transition to the screen, first appearing in J.A, Bayona's emotional tsunami survival drama The Impossible. One of the film's starring roles saw Tom Holland playing a young boy separated from his family during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
His well-received and precocious performance in the film led to additional roles, including the acclaimed BBC miniseries book adaptation of Wolf Hall starring Mark Rylance to Ron Howard's big-screen "real life" Moby Dick story In the Heart of the Sea - a film that's been referred to as "surprisingly forgettable." On 23 June 2015, Tom Holland was announced as playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the character's Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. A huge breakout for the young British actor, his rendition of the beloved Web-Slinger has been well received by both fans and critics alike, resulting in five on-screen appearances in the MCU to date, with more to come.
His audition process was lengthy, requiring five self-tapes and extremely nerve-wracking screen tests with both Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans before he landed the gig. Tom Holland was perfectly cast as the youngest Peter Parker, standing at a fairly average height of 5 foot and 7 inches, as revealed by Celeb Heights. Holland has gone on record as having lied about his height in the past, as "every actor lies".
Tom Holland's most recent project was lending his voice to the Pixar's Onward alongside fellow MCU alum Chris Pratt (Guardians Of The Galaxy). Before this, Holland had made supporting appearances in The Lost City of Z - also starring Charlie Hunnam and future Batman, Robert Pattinson - and in Robert Downey Jr's big budget box office flop Dolittle.
The Coronavirus outbreak has halted the production of the long-gestating adaptation of hit PlayStation game series Uncharted, with Tom Holland set to play lead Nathan Drake. The actor was also due to begin filming the third MCU Spider-Man in July, but Spider-Man: Homecoming 3, or whatever the sequel ends up being called, could be similarly affected by COVID-19 and have its production pushed back. The actor's long-delayed sci-fi blockbuster Chaos Walking, which also stars Daisy Ridley, is currently set for release in January 2021.
