Tom Holland isn’t shy about admitting that his Spider-Man suits can get a little funky.
In a fresh chat with Esquire, the 29-year-old actor—who was just named Prada Beauty’s new Global Ambassador—was asked about his relationship with fragrances while promoting Prada’s refillable scent, Paradigme.
Though Holland called himself “a little bit fragrance-shy,” he laughed when interviewer Rosenberg brought up how his Spidey suits might get “a little musty” on set.
“Yeah, it definitely does,” Holland admitted. “I probably get a new suit every two weeks, I reckon.”
The actor is currently filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Tom Holland also revealed that he’s been doing a bit of “sneaky research” online, checking out fan reactions to his Spider-Man movies to help shape the direction of Brand New Day.
“[I] went to Marvel and said, ‘This is what I think we should be doing.’ And I think that’s exactly what we are doing,” Holland explained. “So it’s been a really fun process developing the movie. It’s the first time I’ve ever been allowed in that part of the process, and it’s definitely a stressful experience. But I think where we’ve got to, now that we’re shooting, we are shooting absolute gold.”
He added, “I have such a good understanding of who Peter Parker is, and I have been so lucky that the fan base has been so vocal about what they love from the franchise. We’ve been able to really lean into those things and capitalize on those things. So I love standing up for the character, being in the room, and making sure that the decisions we make are what’s best for Peter Parker, because he really does feel like one of my best friends. It’s a really weird experience diving into the character again. It just feels like you’re hanging out with an old pal.”
Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31, 2026.
