Robert Downey Jr Treats Tom Holland Like His Own Son
Before portraying Tony Stark on-screen, Robert Downey Jr. had a long struggle dealing with alcohol and drug use. For years, Downey Jr. was cycling in and out of rehabilitation centres. He has often called that period his rock bottom. The actor was also on the verge of bankruptcy when his wife left him. It was then that Robert Downey Jr. decided it was time for recovery. He returned in 2002 with ‘Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang’ and ‘Zodiac’. Its success led Robert Downey Jr. to star as Tony Stark in Marvel Studio’s ‘Iron Man’ in 2008. His charismatic personality as Iron Man turned it into a franchise and an essential part of the ‘Avengers‘ movies.

Robert Downey Jr. treats Tom Holland like his own son THE BEGINNING OF ROBERT DOWNEY AND TOM HOLLAND’S BOND Tom Holland got introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016’s ‘Captain America: Civil War‘. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield played the role previously in two different franchises. It was the first time that a teenager got cast in the role of Spider-Man. His first standalone superhero movie, ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming‘, was released in July 2017. He reprised the role in 2019’s ‘Avengers: Endgame‘. Although many people love Holland’s character, fans will miss his camaraderie with Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man.

“As you can imagine, I was pretty terrified, and he came up to me and said, ‘Look, I felt exactly the same as you did when I did my test for Iron Man but just relax, let your body take over and, and if it is meant to be it will happen’â€, Holland recalled.
Well, Downey Jr.’s advice certainly worked for Holland since he got the part of Spiderman. The ‘Iron Man’ actor was not the only one that offered Holland advice. Chris Hemsworth, who played Thor and co-starred with Tom Holland in ‘The Heart of the Sea’, also gave him some advice. Hemsworth tried helping him with how to stay grounded after you get a role. Once Holland got cast, Chris Hemsworth sent him an email about how he should make sure to keep his feet on the ground and not let it affect him. He told Holland to keep his friends and family close, and that is what he did.
