hey guys and welcome to film artsy your number one source for all things films
2
and movies and we've really enjoyed on this channel since we cover
3
so much marvel stuff taking a look back at all of the MCU movies
4
and appreciating how great of actors some of the cast members are from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
5
And Tom Holland, though he is a newer face and interestingly enough, a face that is often compared to a lot of other actors who have played Spider -Man in the past,
6
does a phenomenal job at playing Peter Parker and Spider -Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
7
And we are really excited to see more of him in the future.
8
Though one thing that's great about Tom Holland though is
9
that he seems to be a very genuine person both on screen
10
and off screen and it can be a lot of fun to look at some of the funny
11
and hilarious moments that happen behind the scenes when filming a movie
12
when something accidental happens or a blooper ends up coming out
13
or a line gets forgotten along the way and sometimes some hilarity ends up ensuing.
14
So we wanted to take a look at some of the best
15
and most interesting moments of Tom holland maybe slipping up
16
and forgetting his lines a bit so let's go ahead
17
and jump into this now starting things off there's a lot of little cases
18
that we've seen with tom holland where he's acting in a role
19
and he's usually doing a great job at staying in character though sometimes he may slip up
20
and for whatever reason he forgets his line and he ends up improvising
21
and just making things up or just having a fun time with it and doing something funny, like break the fourth wall and talk directly to the camera.
22
Peter, it's Nationals.
23
Is there no way you could take one weekend on?
24
No, sir, I know I would if I could, but Mr. Stark and my internship,
25
you know, I got a lot of responsibility with great power and great responsibility.
26
There's also a lot of moments
27
that we've seen along the way where Tom Holland will be acting
28
and just messes up a line or just something funny happens and he can't stop himself from laughing.
29
And it's interesting always to see the perspective of whether
30
or not Tom Holland is the one actually causing the other actors to mess up
31
or if Tom Holland is just reacting to something that happened during filming a specific scene.
32
Oh no, so I can smile.
33
Yeah, yeah, you can smile.
34
It's been an honor.
35
hey you can't your whole body is moving maybe we don't shake hands and just do this thank you like a grandmother
36
oh my god that's so weird like a grandmother like a grandfather darling
37
nice to meet you i'll be a tiny bit closer oh god not that far come on Come back.
38
It's just a lot to take care of.
39
You just laughed at my performance.
40
You were looking around so far, so you couldn't look at me, which made me laugh.
41
Why me?
42
Because I want you to stop by that Chinese West Indian place, Wings and Chains, and pick us up some food before you come back.
43
Now take it.
44
Let's go with an extreme close up.
45
Extreme close up.
46
That's too close.
47
Back.
48
Back.
49
There's also a lot of times that we've seen Tom Holland, even if it's not something he's done,
50
just lose his character or just kind of cracks under some funny moment
51
that happens and it can completely derail the entire scene along the way.
52
And even though Tom Holland might be remembering his specific lines along the way, we've seen this happen in the past where just something funny will happen in whatever movie role he's in
53
and he just can't help himself but to laugh
54
and they usually end up having to do a couple other takes
55
because of his inability to stop himself from laughing at times.
56
It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
57
My face feels so good.
58
I don't know.
59
I was not supposed to say that a lot.
60
Hey guys.
61
I can't believe you guys throw parties like this.
62
I'm sorry.
63
They let you have parties, you know?
64
My parents are dead.
65
then if we look to a more recent project like spider -man far from Home, which was the last film to release in phase three of the MCU.
66
We can actually see some really unique moments with this,
67
where in general, it seems like the atmosphere around the set for Spider -Man Far From Home was incredibly upbeat,
68
and it seemed like whether people were messing up or just messing around on set, it seemed like for the most part, the cast had a really fun time.
69
I'm a virgin.
70
I'm so sorry, dude.
71
I was trying so hard not to see.
72
Then on the other side of things, if we go all the way back to some of the earlier things that we've seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's always really interesting to take a look at
73
when Tom Holland first joined up in the MCU to star in Captain America Civil War.
74
Besides just the audition tapes where we can see a very different perspective of Tom Holland acting.
75
I can only imagine what it is you're going through.
76
Anytime you're going to cast a role as being Spider -Man, there's a huge search involved and seraphine
77
and her team looked at 7 500 takes it was crazy
78
it was a pretty daunting process peter are you hiding something how dare you i've never been
79
so sold in my life tom peter's not british he's from
80
new york oh he is oh all right um give me
81
a minute let me okay peter are you hiding something oh
82
why won't you just give it a rest mate will you
83
you're tearing me apart maybe a little less dramatic about 200 boys
84
and there were so many of them that were so good
85
but tom was different than everyone else okay then there was just something about tom holland's performance
86
and it was just so energetic and real and grounded
87
and full of attitude peter are you hiding something yeah that's not delicious oh yeah I can't understand you, Tom.
88
Tom, let's do one without the chips.
89
Peter, are you hiding something?
90
Hey, Spider -Man doesn't do that.
91
Can we try something else?
92
Tom, how long was it from when we cast you to when you were in a costume in front of a camera?
93
It was like four days or something like that.
94
Oh, really?
95
Yeah.
96
Fastest turnaround ever.
97
And you had to screen test with him? with Robert.
98
Yeah.
99
And I remember meeting your double first and being like, wow, you look kind of different in real life.
100
We have gotten a little glimpse here
101
and there where we've gotten to see Tom Holland kind of jump into the role and maybe mess up.
102
And it could be partially because he's a little bit nervous about jumping into this role.
103
I snuck in the back.
104
Yeah, why, Polly?
105
Huh.
106
No reason.
107
Come on, Ian.
108
I know you're stronger than that.
109
Come on.
110
You can get out of this.
111
You just got to tap into your primal brain.
112
I'm not tapping into any brain.
113
Just let me go.
114
Okay.
115
I got to go.
116
Bye, Mom.
117
Tell you what.
118
I'll drive you to school. Who are you guys?
119
um i'm not tony now this is another thing
120
that we're going to continue to cover for sometime in the future just
121
because we think it's such an interesting perspective
122
if you're fan of the marvel cinematic universe we've actually recently taken a look at the mcu as a whole
123
and compared some blooper scenes that we've seen
124
and the outtakes to the actual shots that we see in the movie
125
and it's really cool to see the side -by -side comparison
126
so if you haven't seen that video you should go check
127
that out as well because we just did a video on
128
that and Tom Holland has a couple of parts in there
129
so you might like to check that out as well as seeing other cast members from the MCU too.

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.
