I mean, it's things like, I told a story the other day of Graham Norton, and the Graham Norton YouTube even made some bullshit clickbait thing about the story.
2
The story is essentially saying that the guy I was up against for Spider-Man was really good looking, and the clickbait that they put was like, Tom Holland explains how he wasn't good looking enough to be Spider-Man.
3
How does that make any sense?
4
I am Spider-Man!
5
We all know that Tom Holland has always been one of those people that constantly makes jokes during interviews, or in this case, roasts everyone around him.

And he goes, you know what, I think you're going to get it because the kid that I just drove there, he is so good looking.

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.
