He has gathered thousands of fans from all over the world who have fallen in love with him.
22
He and his best friends Harrison Osterfield keep the fans entertained by posting Instagram stories of each other, which has really hyped everyone up for the new Spider -Man film.
23
Now let's talk about why we love Tom Holland.
24
Where to start?
25
I guess it all began with Civil War as a Marvel fan.
26
I was kind of doubtful about him being Spider -Man at first, but that very soon changed.
27
He literally owned the role and that was the first thing that really attracted to him.
28
I found out it was real!
29
Where do I even start when it comes to Tom Holland?
30
Tom Holland is one of my absolute favorite people.
31
Going to see Civil War is one of my favorite memories as
32
that was the first time I saw him on screen and he captured my heart and from the start.
33
He's such an incredible actor and I'm glad that he's finding his place.
34
Me?
35
Yeah.
36
Now why do I particularly love Tom Holland?
37
Well, he's not just a 26 -year -old down -to -earth guy.
38
He continuously does nice things that he doesn't have to do, visiting children's hospitals as Spider -Man, stops for pictures, talks to his fans.
39
Also, he is such a meme.
40
Everything he does gets turned into a meme.
41
I was like, mom, I'm really struggling.
42
Like, I'm working every day and because I wear the suit, I can't go to the bathroom.
43
And then two days later the producer came up to me and was like, how are your kidneys?
44
Yeah, right.
45
I was like, yeah, my kidneys are fine.
46
Why are you asking?
47
He's like, well, your mom called us.
48
No She's very concerned about your organs on this shoot.
49
Yeah, so my mom called up the biggest studio in the world and was like,
50

51
Also his acting is amazing.
52
His first two films had me crying for so long because his acting is so amazing.
53
In the heart of the sea, I wanted to hug his character and tell him everything would be okay.
54
No! But you!
55
You see?
56
Come on!
57
In Civil War, his portrayal of Spider -Man had me laughing in the cinema.
58
The film Edge of Winter had me so scared because you could see how scared his character was.
59
And I'm so so excited to see him in Spider -Man Homecoming, The Lost City of Z.
60
How were you told that Iron Man is dead?
61
Tom Holland is such a dork.
62

63
He makes me laugh so much and he seems so so lovely.
64
Him and his best friend Harrison and Zendaya just seem like they are
65
so down to earth and it's so wonderful to see.
66
He makes me so happy I didn't start off as a huge fan, but then, through my best friend, I became a fan.
67
I'm so thankful that I did.
68
Tom Holland what a lovely human being.
69
I think everyone was nervous when it came to him playing Spider -Man
70
but he plays the role so perfectly and we can talk about how much he is like real life Peter Parker.
71
He's such a dork and he's so smart and he's such a fanboy.

welcome to the marvel universe see how effectively we avoided
84
that whole question there have been a lot of fighting seven
85
eight there have been a lot of moments where the cast of avengers
86
and the rest of the marvel cast was seen roasting him
87
and the best part about this is that Tom Holland does not really get offended by such roasting.
88
He is always such a sport and which is one of the reasons why everyone likes to roast him.
89
That's the, that's the, it's not that loud noises scare me, it's just that it annoys me.
90
Or like quick flying birds or.
91
Like if someone turns, if someone is talking too loudly.
92
Yeah.
93
Or turns, if someone is talking too loudly.
94

95
Or someone's playing music.
96

97
Oh yeah!
98
Even though I judge.
99
They choose the quads.
100
These videos of Jake Gyllenhaal
101
and Tom Holland roasting each other are one of my absolute favorites
102
because Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal are like the best friend that we always wanted.
103
And Jake Gyllenhaal also knows that Tom Holland can take all of the jokes that he does.
104
He doesn't really get offended so it seems very easy for Jake to roast Tom Holland.
105
Why would you choose Chris Hemsworth though?
106
I mean, Chris Hemsworth's not good looking in the slightest.
107
It's not like he's super tall or good at surfing or funny.
108
I'm pretty sure he smells really good.
109
He does smell, he doesn't smell really good.
110
So I don't understand why you would choose Chris.
111
It's just silly.
112
And maybe it's a sympathy vote.
113
That's the only reason I could think of why he would choose.
114
There are a lot of videos on the internet where we
115
can see some of the cast members of Marvel actually babysitting Tom Holland.
116
So the story behind this is that Tom Holland, who's known for spoiling Marvel movies, actually is controlled by some of his Marvel cast so much
117
so that one of the Marvel's panel member actually revealed
118
that it was mandatory for Tom Holland to be accompanied by one of the Marvel cast members
119
or the Avengers cast members so
120
that they can take care of Tom Holland not giving away some of the most important spoilers of the upcoming Marvel movies.
121
in there you know they're just I'm not judging it's only
122
them I'm jealous yeah all right guys that's it for today's video
123
and the answer to the question I asked you at the
124
beginning of the video is 27 years old yes Tom Holland
125
is 27 years old I had one funny experience I sat
126

127

128

129

Who Will Benefit from This Video?
This video is perfect for intermediate English learners aiming to boost their conversational skills, especially for IELTS speaking practice. The casual, chatty tone mirrors real-life discussions, making it ideal for practicing shadow speak—repeating phrases aloud to match rhythm and intonation. Whether you’re working on fluency or understanding pop culture references, the dialogue’s mix of personal anecdotes and celebrity talk keeps learning engaging.
Words & Idioms Worth Stealing
The video is packed with everyday phrases that feel natural, not textbook. Here are a few to add to your toolkit:
- "Come to the limelight": Become famous. Example: "She came to the limelight after her viral song."
- "Down-to-earth": Humble, relatable. Example: "Even though he’s a star, he’s so down-to-earth."
- "Hyped up": Excited or excited others. Example: "The trailer hyped everyone up for the movie."
- "Owned the role": Did an exceptional job. Example: "She owned the lead role in the play."
How to Get the Accent Right
The speaker’s tone is friendly and conversational, with a slight British influence (thanks to Tom Holland’s background). To practice, try shadowing—play a short clip, pause, and repeat, focusing on:
- Intonation: The rise and fall in questions like "Can you all tell us how old Tom Holland is?" (Notice the upward inflection at the end.)
- Reduced speech: Phrases like "kind of" and "sort of" are often shortened to "kinda" and "sorta" in fast speech—imitate this to sound more natural.
- Stress: Words like "incredible" and "memorable" have stress on the second syllable—emphasize these to match the speaker’s rhythm.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | has been · I've already done · has come |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | being roasted · been taken · was seen |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | video which is · other, which has |
| Superlatives the -est / the most … — the top or bottom of a group | his best · the biggest · the nicest |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
