J'ai passé une partie de l'après-midi avec Zendaya et Tom Holland.
4
J'adore ça !
5
Et on était en pleine canicule.
6
Dans cette interview exclusive, on a parlé de leur début.
7
Vous devez se développer très rapidement.
8
C'est bien de faire ça, donc vous savez, aller à la promesse.
9
Ils m'ont partagé des anecdotes.
10
Pourquoi vous avez appris ça ?
11
Discuté de leur travail.
12
Si vous ne travaillez pas, vous allez aller à la travail.
13
Parce que c'est fun !
14
Mais aussi comment chacun voyait l'autre.
15
Il est très.. je ne sais pas comment...
16
Il est...
17
Qu'est ce...
18
C'est...
19
C'est génial.
20
Yes, so many great words out there.
21
This interview is also available in audio podcast.
22
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel, but it's not yet done.
23
Spider-Man, a brand new day, it's coming on the 29th of the cinema.
24
Good video to all.
25
When you work in the business, when you start as young as we did, you have to grow up really quickly.
26
You've got to learn how to set boundaries for yourself and learn how to be an adult, really.
27
One of the reasons why I struggled so much at school, I think, is because I was in a professional environment, I was treated like an adult, I was working like an adult,
28
and then I went back to school and felt like I didn't fit in
29
because all of my peers were kind of behaving like their age.
30
There's nothing wrong with that.
31
I was just a little grown up like, I'm just gonna do as I'm told because that's what the teacher's saying.
32
So yeah, it definitely shapes who you are for sure.
33
That's especially something, Tom, you were training for Billy Elliot at the time and I've heard that, you know, and you've said that some kids
34
when you were training for Billy Elliot sort of used to make fun of like you dancing and everything.
35
Of course, years later you did so many things, you did Spider-Man and so many things.
36
Do you have a message maybe for like little boys
37
or little girls who are afraid to follow their passion because of this social pressure that might exist?
38
Yeah, I mean, it's so much easier said than done to kind of block out the haters.
39
You know, I think that it's something that, you know, even today is something that I know that we work on and our peers work on.
40
And, you know, we've been dealing with things like that for a long time.
41
But it's important to find your community and find your tribe and the people that you feel comfortable with.
42
And most importantly, the people that you feel comfortable being yourself with.
43
You know, expressing yourself is something to be really proud of.
44
And whether that's dance or art or acting or sport or, you know, or reading books, whatever it is.
45
You know, if you find your group of people where you can be yourself with, then, you know, you'll always find happiness.
46
But before we continue the interview, we'll talk about something that we use every day, electricity, in collaboration with EDF.
47
You know maybe, electricity in France was a long time a monopoly.
48
In 1946, the state created EDF, whose publics fix the price with a regular price of the sale of electricity.
49
But EDF doesn't offer that only.
50
In fact, since the opening of the market to the competition, EDF also offers offers and they can be 10% more expensive on the annual TTC.
51
And according to your habits of consumption, some can be even more interesting.
52
Imagine a building.
53
Here, a young couple does the work and consumes a week in a day.
54
In another apartment, a young active is also present on the weekend.
55
There, a family recently passed the electric car and the recharge each night.
56
In short, everyone has their own habits of consumption.
57
And EDF offers even more advantageous offers in terms of their habits.
58
To discover the offers that can correspond, you can scan the QR code that is on the screen or call EDF at 34 04.
59
And don't forget, the energy is our future, let's get into it.
60
Because I think that's also something, I guess, young people struggling with the social pressure often see people like you and they're like, oh, they managed it.
61
They managed to deal with that social pressure.
62
They managed to go through all of this.
63
And I guess also some people sometimes wonder if that social pressure sort of turns down in a way through the years.
64
Or if, no, it's always there.
65
Sometimes it's even bigger, but you just have to live with it and cope with it.
66
Yeah, I think it's always there.
67
It's always present.
68
Yeah.
69
I think it's just about the skills
70
that you develop to like to know better you know it's like know better do better
71
but yeah it's funny because i think that
72
that like without trying to be like oh let's bring it back to the movie
73
but it is so much about what peter's going through you know um
74
and you know to like sum it up
75
or make a joke about it is like work-life balance you
76
know it's like who am i am i like betraying myself by worrying about all the pressures
77
and the things that i i have to live live up to
78
or who I'm trying to protect or who I'm trying to take care of?
79
Am I ultimately doing a disservice because I can't do my best work if I'm not taking care of myself?
80
I think we all do that sometimes.
81
I think there is such an importance of, like you're saying, having a community,
82
having friends, having people to lean on and support you through things.
83
Life is hard sometimes, you know?
84
Like we need other human beings to get through it, so.
85
And you can just have bad days sometimes for no reason.
86
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
87
That doesn't have to be something.
88
It just be like that.
89
Yeah, it doesn't have to be for any particular reason.
90
Sometimes I just wake up, I'm like, ooh, I want to go back to bed and I'll start again tomorrow.
91
You've been playing those roles, MJ, Peter Parker, for a few years now.
92
Does coming back to a Spider-Man movie feel like coming home something you're used to now?
93
Yeah, I really think it does, you know.
94
Our jobs and our, you know, we're really blessed in our careers that there's like real variation.
95
And sometimes our variation can be quite scary.
96
But then coming back to a character that you know and love and that you've played, you know, really since we were kids is a really lovely privilege.
97
Even on set, you know, there's such a warm familial vibe.
98
And I think it's funny because Destin, obviously this is our first film with him, and it feels like we've known him like our whole lives.
99
You know, he's like an older brother, a cousin, like it feels like a true— He fit right into the family right away.
100
So it's been really, really special.
101
That's great.
102
That's also something, Tom, when of course you were announced as the new Spider-Man, everyone was like, oh, he's the new Spider-Man.
103
Now a few years have gone by.
104
Do you still feel like yourself, you're the new Spider-Man?
105
You're like, no, I'm Spider-Man myself.
106
And I assume this for all of you.
107
I do want to say too, like literally my mom was there.
108
Well, those days that we were seeing, remember that scene?
109
My mom was there and she was crying.
110
Oh, yeah.
111
Watching us.
112
Yeah.
113
Yeah.
114
Why did you bring that up?
115
No, because I was saying it's like a family event.
116
Oh, my mom was literally on set.
117
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
118
Following that, yeah.
119
Yeah, my mom came.
120
Oh, yeah.
121
I was bringing her mom to work day.
122
So she was there laughing, crying.
123
She was used to like...
124
She really dove in the deep end.
125
She sat down and was like, what are you shooting today?
126
We were like, buckle up, right?
127
Yeah, this is a tough day for her.
128
This is a big day.
129
Sorry.
130
Just to...
131
No, no, no. It's interesting to me.
132
Like it's something important for you, yeah.
133
Do I feel like the new Spider-Man?
134
Not anymore, no. You know, Spider-Man, it's almost like harder to remember a time where we weren't making these movies, if you know what I mean.
135
The thing that I am really excited for is like figuring out what happens next, you know, and who do we pass the baton on to and,
136
you know, what does that look like?
137
I think that's a really exciting question and something
138
that I really hope I get to be a part of and I'm very excited about it.
139
That's great.
140
And why do you think Spider-Man is such a cultural icon for so many generations?
141
It's like young boys and girls today, but it's also like older generations.
142
How do you explain that Spider-Man is that huge and that big for so many people in their lives?
143
I guess for me, it's always been that he felt, I mean, I hate to say the word relatable, but he feels the most like someone that you know.
144
Normal guy, yeah.
145
You know, he's just that friend that everybody would really want to have.
146
He feels like he could be your brother, your cousin, your, you know, whatever.
147
And there's so many qualities, I think, that he has that hopefully we all strive to have inside of ourselves as well.
148
And it makes us feel like we all could.
149
Like, if Peter can do it, we can do it.
150
And I think that uniqueness in the fact that he is so normal
151
makes him feel so special to so many people and feel like he is a part of their family.
152
He is someone that, you know, and I feel like we feel that way for sure.
153
But that's what I think, at least.
154
We've seen you in the drama, which was amazing.
155
We've seen you, of course, in Emporia, Spider-Man, there's the Odyssey with both of you in a few weeks.
156
Dune, of course, coming back.
157
I can't wait for the next Dune.
158
It's going to be great.
159
It's going to be so crazy.
160
And how do you manage to keep up this rhythm with like such amazing movies, but with, you know, different roles?
161
I mean, that's not the same role in Spider-Man that it'll be in June or in the drama.
162
It's so different.
163
How do you manage to keep up with this?
164
And, you know, how do you avoid burnout or like those challenges you can face?
165
Um, I think I've gotten lucky because I get to do it with people that I really care about.
166
And I've also just been, you know, blessed with really special characters and crews that I really love.
167
I think a huge part of our job and what, you know, brings me my own social life is like having great crews.
168
And you end up kind of building these little families and every kind of crew you work on.
169
Specifically like Euphoria, like they've seen me since I was a kid going through, they've seen me in all the ways, you know what I mean?
170
I don't know if I've necessarily figured anything out or if I have a clear answer or anything, but I just really love what I do do
171
and I love my job and
172
so you know the actual creative part of making it doesn't
173
always feel like a job you know it some days you're like okay we're ready to clock out you know
174
but most of the time it's a joy like if
175
if I'll go to set
176
if I'm not shooting all the time I just want to
177
be around sets I want to you know watch everyone work
178
I want to learn I love I just love the process of making And she really does do that too.
179
Like if you're not working, you will go to work.
180
Yeah, because it's fun.
181
I mean, I remember like they were shooting this incredible opening sequence for Dune, and I was like, you know, is it cool if I just...
182
I was there early in Budapest, and it was cold, and they had this crazy setup, and I was like, I got to see this.
183
Like, I want to see this, you know?
184
So it's just cool.
185
It's just cool as a fan alone, you know, it's just cool to be able to watch.
186
And by the way, I think it's interesting for you to say that, like, yeah, sometimes you don't have everything figured out.
187
And I feel like it's also refreshing for probably people who are watching this interview to understand that like, yeah, you can be hugely successful in your career and everything
188
and still like struggle in some aspects
189
and like we'll still ask yourself all those questions
190
so i feel like it's super inspiring a few words now
191
about um mj your role of course in the movie mj
192
feel like she's not only the love interest in the in the movie she's way more than
193
that i was wondering um was it something
194
that you sort of consciously you know fought for as an actor is it the way of course this
195
and then all the look at it and sees it.
196
The fact that she's not just the love interest in movies, she's way more than that.
197
Well, it's been cool
198
because I think John had a very clear perspective from the
199
beginning about his interpretation of what MJ was gonna be in our Spider-Man movies.
200
And he kind of took some big swings and I was excited to be a part of that.
201
I think giving her a very unique sense of humor and personality and very strong sense of self.
202
I think although maybe sometimes different from the comic books, there are a lot of things that, you know, I do feel that MJ is a very confident personality,
203
you know, in herself.
204
And in our own way, our MJ is that too.
205
And it was nice to kind of speak to Destin
206
because now we're maturing and learning new things about the character
207
and developing her in a way and trying to understand her at a mature point in her life, but also still holding on those core elements that we built from previous movies.
208
And it was fun to blend those things.
209
And I remember my first chat with Destin, he was just like, so tell me all the things
210
that you've ever wanted to do or were hoping and maybe didn't make it to other movies.
211
And I feel like this is...
212
You got it.
213
Okay, it went away.
214
This is probably one of the, you know, I guess the most we've been able to explore and to really try things with this character,
215
I think at least.
216
I think so too.
217
It's also something we often hear that playing a character long enough eventually makes you resemble them.
218
Is there something of Peter or MJ that you've absorbed yourself in your daily life?
219
I think everyone that's worked on these movies could say that there's a part of Peter Parker in them.
220
His positivity is something that I think is infectious.
221
Especially in the way that we make the movies.
222
The film sets are such happy, fun places and everyone gets along
223
and we do the work with a smile on our face and everyone's always laughing all the time.
224
It's just such a really, it's such a happy place.
225
I think that the character brings that out in everyone.
226
And you, about MJ, do you feel like you're close to MJ in a way? Of course.
227
I think it's very rare that you get to live with a character this long.
228
Usually we only, you know, you just have one movie or you know, you, I don't know, it's It's more brief, your interaction with your character,
229
and you don't have 10 years that you get to live with them and really form this connection with these characters.
230
And also the fans who also love them and care for them in the ways that we do.
231
So yeah, I definitely think I have some MJ-ness.
232
And it's funny, it was funny trying to, after five years or however long it's been, or six years, going, oh, where is she?
233
to find her again and and find in fact there was a like a little
234
when we first got to set well you first got set you were working before i was
235
and i had a like a week off of dune
236
and i came to visit for your first week of work
237
and i was reading through the script
238
and i remember being in the tent with justin keritskis who
239
came on um spider-man to kind of really figure out some nuance of the character
240
and we he's a dear friend of ours um
241
because he we did challengers together and we we were just talking about how I can add in some more MJ-ness,
242
you know, because we had built this kind of quirky character, and I was like, I feel like she's just not weird enough.
243
You know, we need to do a little MJ pass and bring some of that back.
244
It's also something, Peter Parker gives up a sort of a normal life in order to save the world
245
and save many people.
246
What's the biggest sacrifice you'd say you've made, whether it's your own life or in your career?
247
Cool, that's a tough question.
248
I don't know how I could answer.
249
I'd have to really think about that.
250
Is it like, yeah, because it could be something specific.
251
It can be like in your daily life, in your way of, I don't know.
252
It's hard because, you know,
253
so much of it is a blessing and a gift and I wouldn't give it back or I wouldn't trade for anything.
254
And I don't want to, you know, you don't want to seem like you're complaining.
255
It has a negative connotation.
256
And I don't think that we're in any position to be complaining about the sacrifices we've made when people make real sacrifices.
257
It's more like a choice you made.
258
So, you know.
259
Yeah.
260
Well, I will say like, and I wouldn't say it's a sacrifice, but like maybe being really young and being in this industry,
261
I think is sometimes a little bit of a, yeah, sure.
262
There's, you know, it would have been nice.
263
It's going to be a weird one at times.
264
It could be a weird one.
265
It would have been nice to like, you know, go to prom and maybe not have, you know, those embarrassing videos of yourself when you're a kid and you haven't really figured it out.
266
Not that I ever have, but, you know, it would be nice.
267
Yeah.
268
But, you know, you got to live with something.
269
What's the best advice Tom has ever given you in the year?
270
And the other way around, what's the best advice you received Tom?
271
I think something I am always impressed with Tom about, which I feel like I want to inherit more of, but he's very...
272
I don't know how to...
273
He's...
274
What's the...
275
Awesome?
276
Legendary.
277
Yeah, so many great words.
278
But you really stand on your big stickler for respect and kindness,
279
and not to say that I'm not doing that, but I just...
280
Super respectful.
281
But you just make sure that that is in the front, and then if that line is crossed,
282
I think sometimes he's better at drawing boundaries and making things clear.
283
And I'm a little bit more like, okay, guys, you know, it's all right, everything's all right, you know what I mean
284
and you're good at being like no no this is we're
285
not doing this you know yeah you're you're good at like setting the boundaries really clearly really strong
286
and i'm like kind of like i'll put the boundaries like hey guys can we just you know
287
if that's okay if i could just put the boundary there okay we're good we're good you know
288
so i like
289
that you you have you know you really know what you feel is right for yourself
290
and you and you do it and for others you're very like protective in that way.
291
Thank you.
292
I appreciate that.
293
What did you the other way around?
294
How would you see it?
295
Speaking of boundaries, I'm not going to share my most valuable piece of advice I got.
296
That's great.
297
That's a perfect example for this question.
298
To end this interview, we've got two for each of you, a sort of a 60 second format.
299
The idea, I think we did it at the time for June is like I'll ask him some questions
300
and you can answer yes, no or pass if you want to pass, no problem.
301
Are you ready?
302
I love this.
303
Was Spider-Man your favorite superhero when you were a kid?
304
Yes.
305
Is New York the best city in the world to be a superhero?
306
Yes.
307
Would you like to be able to teleport?
308
Yes.
309
Would you rather spend a year in ancient Greece than in the multiverse?
310
What kind of Am I a prosperous person in Ancient Greece?
311
That's a nice answer.
312
But also, aren't we living the multiverse, really?
313
That's a...
314
Well, we don't really... Who knows?
315
We don't know.
316
We could be in it now.
317
I think it'd be pretty cool to go and sit down with, you know...
318
I'm good on that.
319
The great thinkers, what are those guys?
320
The great philosophers?
321
Why can't I think of their names?
322
That's why I need to sit down with them.
323
I'd go to Ancient Greece for a year, that'd be cool.
324
Love it.
325
Peter Parker survive Odysseus journey?
326
Oh, yeah.
327
Did you cry at the end of...
328
Helpful.
329
Did you cry at the end of shooting No Way Home?
330
Yes.
331
Is Peter Parker the most relatable superhero?
332
Yes.
333
Could you direct a Marvel film one day?
334
Yes.
335
We could.
336
If you wanted to, you could.
337
Yeah, I guess I could.
338
Totally could.
339
Yeah, yeah.
340
Great.
341
Would you do a fifth Spider-Man without hesitation?
342
Pass.
343
Okay.
344
Maybe two or three to finish.
345
We're about to talk about football.
346
Could you survive without football for a month?
347
Yeah.
348
Is PSG the best European team?
349
No. Okay.
350
Is England winning the World Cup in your lifetime?
351
Yes.
352
Okay.
353
Well, I don't know when it's going to be published, but we'll have to follow this.
354
I don't know if we have time for the other one.
355
Yeah, very quickly.
356
Okay, very quick.
357
Let's go.
358
Is MJ smarter than Spider-Man? In some ways, yes.
359
In some ways, yes.
360
Is comedy harder than drama?
361
Ooh.
362
Yes.
363
Could you ever play a villain in the Marvel Universe?
364
I don't know about that.
365
Would you trust Peter Parker with a secret?
366
Yeah.
367
Would you rather have Spider-Man's powers than Doctor Stranger's?
368
Ooh.
369
Eee.
370
Yeah, I don't know.
371
Not sure about that one.
372
I feel like you could do a lot with Doctor Strange's powers.
373
You could do a lot.
374
Which is also like, do I want that much?
375
Do you know what I mean?
376
Like maybe I should just, you know what I mean, be super strong and...
377
Could be something.
378
Did the Spider-Man set feel like home after three movies?
379
Yes.
380
Would you rather travel to the future rather than the past?
381
I don't know.
382
Both are kind of, I don't know.
383
Oh, I don't know.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
