1
Can I just fix your shirt?
2
Yeah, thank you.
3
There you go.
4
Thank you.
5
Tom Holland, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
6
We ready?
7
He's continuing his stellar run as Peter Parker in Spider-Man Brand New Day.
8
The new movie for me is something that I am incredibly proud of.
9
But then it came with this added layer of pressure of should we do it again?
10
Well, and you were a little hesitant, right?
11
I was hesitant because I would describe myself as a fan first when it comes to the MCU and Spider-Man.
12
And I was really keen to make sure that we made a movie for the right reasons rather than just, these movies are doing really well, let's churn out another one.
13
It wasn't until I really sat down with Destin, our director, and he pitched me ideas of how he wanted to make a more personal story
14
that I really felt like we were investing in the character in a way that the fans would really respond to.
15
And you invested in it as well.
16
You went right into the writer's room.
17
Yeah, they let me into the writer's room, and it was a fascinating experience.
18
And I was so lucky that, you know, I guess I didn't realize the power I have as Spider-Man because I would pitch an idea, go away for a week, come back, and they'd be like, here's your idea.
19
You didn't realize that?
20
You're the star.
21
No, I'm always pinching myself.
22
They're like, I'm lucky that I'm doing this.
23
And there's a large portion of this movie.
24
There's a big kind of moment that is my brother's idea.
25
He came up with this idea that I went into the studio the next day and pitched as his idea.
26
I did not take credit for it.
27
But also I said that because I was worried it was a bad idea.
28
And they were like, oh, yeah.
29
You talk about being a fan first, and you really tuned in to what the fans were looking for in this film, didn't you?
30
It was something that was really important to me was to spend the time online
31
and really understand what it was the fans were kind of looking for in the character.
32
Huh, it's going to be like that.
33
You want to go?
34
And then I could bring some of the Easter eggs and stuff that I had seen online that fans really wanted.
35
Because at the end of the day, they are who we make these movies for.
36
These characters are such a large part of people's lives.
37
They really love these characters.
38
They feel like they're a part of this universe.
39
I didn't know you could get that big.
40
You turned 30 last month.
41
Right.
42
A few years ago you said if you were still doing Spider-Man at the age of 30, you were doing something wrong.
43
I'm sure you've gotten a lot of heat for that, but I think you actually, you beat it.
44
You filmed it before you were 30.
45
That's very true.
46
Do you know what?
47
I think that's probably a statement of a naive young kid who, you know, at the time, the idea of turning 30 felt like a lifetime away.
48
And you know, I've never taken this character for granted.
49
And I think there's a large part of that statement that was, I have this real hunger and desire
50
to kind of shepherd whoever is lucky enough to play this character next through that process.
51
Downey did that for me on set and off set.
52
And I don't want to hold on to this character.
53
I don't want to overstay my welcome.
54
And you said that this summer really feels like you're starting the next chapter of your life
55
and you're really starting it with a bang you've had such a huge year thank you both personally
56
and professionally congratulations on all
57
that what are you hoping for next just more challenges i
58
now feel like i'm starting this chapter where i can't quite get away with being a teenager anymore um
59
and for me what i love about my job is the
60
challenges you know we have fred astaire next is what we're you know planning on doing
61
and as soon as i finish with with these tours, I'm diving back into the dance studio.
62
And I did my first few rehearsals recently
63
and it both filled me with excitement and absolute dread
64
because I've got so much work to do to try and do Fred proud.
65
What does it mean to do Fred proud?
66
I have a desire to use no doubles to do all of the dancing, to shoot those dances in one shot, how he would have done it.
67
Your family always knew you were gonna be a dancer.
68
I guess your father wrote about it in his book.
69
Tell us the Janet Jackson story.
70
Is she really the inspiration?
71
The Janet Jackson story is essentially she had a song that
72
when i was a kid i was just obsessed with it and if
73
that song played i would bounce along to the song in
74
the rhythm of the song wow saturday street dance class you know all throughout our childhood
75
and that led to an audition and that audition led to billy elliott and that led to me getting an agent.
76
So without my mom seeing that rhythm, so I owe it all to Janet and my mom.
77
Janet and Nikki.
78
Holland, once again sharing the screen with Zendaya.
79
You two don't know each other?
80
No, I'm a neighbor.
81
Friendly neighbor?
82
The couple appearing in not one but two summer blockbusters.
83
Do you say she is the best actress out there?
84
I truly believe so.
85
I've seen her work for the last 10 years, and she is absolutely fearless with the way that she takes on characters.
86
She has this unique ability to completely go the distance without characters becoming caricatures, and there are only few actors that can really do that.
87
And I love her work ethic.
88
I love her passion.
89
She's really showing everyone up in the business.
90
As are you.
91
Congratulations on an amazing year.
92
Thanks for coming.
93
Nice to see you, George.

¿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.
