Tom Holland discussed his affiliation with Tottenham Hotspur last month
Tom Holland talked to SPORTBible about finding it "incredibly difficult" to support Tottenham Hotspur while comparing it with his recent television miniseries last month. He said, “Being a Tottenham fan is somewhat like being in The Crowded Room. It has taught me resilience. Tottenham have never won anything and supporting them is incredibly difficult. It’s no secret that my show has been so horribly reviewed, but I’m here to promote the show and I’m still here, so I’m very resilient.”
