Tom Holland admits he was once addicted to alcohol. However, he has now stated that he has stopped drinking after a long struggle. While talking on the podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Holland revealed that his efforts to stop drinking alcohol started after last year's Christmas celebrations.
"I didn't wake up one day and say, 'I'm going to give up drinking'. Like most British people, I was very, very drunk in December," said Tom Holland, as reported by People on Monday (10/7).
"It was Christmas and I was on holiday, I drank a lot and I always drink a lot," he continued. "I think I inherited the gene from my mother, I can drink. Then I decided to stop in January."
Tom Holland admitted that January last year was a very difficult time for him because all he could think about was drinking. Until finally he began to realize that he was starting to become addicted to alcohol.
"Wow, maybe I have a bit of a problem with alcohol," he said to himself at the time. "So I punished myself and said, 'I'm going to do it too [quit] in February. I'm going to stop for two months.'
