Named as one of GQ's Men Of The Year, Tom Holland features on one of the covers for the magazine's latest issue - as photographed by Sharif Hamza, and styled by Mobolaji Dawodu.
On the future: "Now as I’m getting a little bit older, I’m like, It’s good to have things to work for. Just don’t give 100 percent of your energy towards it. I’m trying to live my life a little bit more freely."
On Zendaya helping him cope with fame: "Having her in my life was so instrumental to my sanity. She is so good at being the role model for young guys and girls. When anyone comes up, like, ‘Can I have a picture?,’ it’s never a bad time. Whereas my initial reaction was: ‘Why are you talking to me? Leave me alone.’"
On learning how to say no: "People mistake my kindness as weakness. Sometimes I see people trying to take advantage of me because I’m a nice person.
