Being an actor can be downright humiliating.Hollywood up-and-comer Tom Holland has dished the dirt on what he had to endure while shooting some of Spider-Man Homecoming's most pivotal scenes.
It's time to suit up.
The British actor told media all he was allowed to wear underneath his Spiderman costume was a G-string. After all, the iconic red and blue outfit doesn't leave much to the imagination.
"They brought them in on my first day, like, 'Here are your thongs," he said. "I had serious misgivings - would my arsehole ever be the same again? But I had to get used to it. Even though I was thinking, no way, no way!"
But what Holland had to wear underneath the costume wasn't the most uncomfortable part about the costume - far from it.
For starters, there was the question of how to stay hydrated on set. As fans of the Marvel comics and movies will know, Spiderman's mask completely covers his mouth.A clever crew member eventually figured out how to feed a plastic tube through the mask's eye socket so an assistant could squeeze water in Holland's mouth when the studio lights were starting to get too hot.
"You have to completely disrobe and then put a dressing gown on ... you can't walk around in just a thong, can you imagine?" Holland said. "And then you race across the lot to the toilet then come back, get into it - it's such a mission."
However, the news isn't all grim, with the 21-year-old pointing out the awkward bathroom adventures were all worth it in the end.
"Any discomfort is immediately outweighed by the privilege of wearing it," he said.
Tom Holland in a scene from 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'The pay cheque, and big boost to his career, also wouldn't have gone astray. To date, the Spiderman franchise has webbed more than $4 billion at the global Box Office.
Spider-Man Homecoming hits cinemas on July 6.
