Tom Holland thinks he was definitely addicted to alcohol. The British actor stopped drinking in early 2022 and only then realized what an obsession drink was for him.
The Brit revealed on his birthday on June 1 last year that he was six months sober. After a Christmas full of booze, he decided to leave the bottle in January.
But that decision left him “only thinking about getting a drink,” he says in the podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty. “That scared me a lot. I thought, wow, maybe booze is a thing for me after all.”
That realization made Holland decide not to drink in February either, but that was not easy. “I felt like I couldn’t be social,” says the actor. “I thought I couldn’t go to the pub and have a soda. I couldn’t go out to eat. I was struggling like hell.”
Holland began to wonder why he was “obsessed” with booze and decided to stop drinking. He has now been doing it without alcohol for about a year and a half and says he is happier than ever. “I slept better. I coped better with problems,” he explains. “I dare admit it: I was definitely addicted to alcohol.”
Holland recently announced that he will not shoot any films in the coming year, because the series will be filmed The Crowded Room exhausted him. He wants to use the time to travel and spend time with family and friends.
