Tom Holland Stole Something Random From The Set Of Spider-Man
"With great power comes great responsibility" is an adage that echoes resoundingly through the plethora of Spider-Man's multiverses. Uttered as some of his final words on-screen, Cliff Robertson's depiction of Uncle Ben in 2002's "Spider-Man" set the tone for every web-slinger appearance in film — whether Spidey was played by Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Tom Holland.
With 20 years past since Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's on-screen debut, the actor beneath the mask has changed several times. Bouncing from Maguire to Garfield, the Spider-Man suit is currently donned by the British-born Holland — who has excelled in the role with style and grace. Most recently appearing in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," Holland wrapped up his trilogy in truly groundbreaking fashion.
In a November interview with GQ, Holland cast doubt about his future in the Spidey series, though he is still signed on for at least three more films, per NME. Most notably, however, he told the outlet, "I have to remind myself that being Spider-Man is more of a responsibility than just having a job," adding that "There are kids out there who are bullied at school who don't fit in, and Spider-Man is their f*****g go-to guy, you know? And at the moment I'm that guy."
But despite having the great power and great responsibility of portraying Spider-Man, Tom Holland did partake in a bit of thievery that would certainly leave our favorite web-slinger's Spidey Senses tingling.
Tom Holland stole a blue screen from the set of Spider-Man: Far from Home
Yep, you read that right. Tom Holland, who currently plays Spider-Man in the titular Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, stole a blue screen from the set of "Spider-Man: Far from Home" — the second film in the Holland-era trilogy. While the British-born star didn't directly address the situation, his September 2019 GQ profile unearthed the secret.
GQ conducted the interview from Holland's home in England, which featured "a poker table" that was "covered with blue screen that Holland stole from the set of his second 'Spider-Man' [and] repurposed as gaming felt." Holland even hosted a poker tournament before the GQ interview, inviting dealers and all.
Holland, however, wasn't the only Spidey to lift something off the set. Andrew Garfield, who portrayed Spider-Man from 2012 to 2014, revealed he possibly stole a whole Spider-Man suit from the set of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Asked if he's allowed to keep his suits after filming, Garfield told NZCity, "They don't [allow you to, but] I may have stolen one and it may be in my luggage, it may be in my hotel room luggage. It may even be in my back pack in the car. It's possible."
Tom Holland has admitted to stealing from 'every job' he does in film
Tom Holland stops bad guys on-screen as Spider-Man, but off-screen, it's a whole different ball game for Holland. In fact, over the course of his career, the actor has even developed a bit of kleptomania. Though GQ noted the actor stole a blue screen from the set of "Spider-Man: Far from Home" and turned it into the perfect topper for games like pool, poker, and the like, Holland himself has admitted to stealing from movie sets that he works on.
In an appearance on BBC Radio 1 (via CinemaBlend), Holland admitted to his recidivist thievery, revealing that he's stolen from "every job I do." "My house is littered with props from films. Honestly, I've got a set of web shooters from the Spider-Man shoot, which Marvel don't know about, but they do now... These are big ones," he further added. The actor also nabbed "Tony's Stark's glasses" and mentioned he "tried to take a suit once, but it's a little bit difficult to walk out of the set in a Spider-man suit."
Despite his avid kleptomania, Holland revealed he hasn't "[gotten in trouble] so far," adding that they "always make loads of them because they break all the time." He's even told movie producers, "'Oh, I lost the Tony Stark glasses.' They're like, 'You what?!' Now they're on my mantelpiece." Curiously enough, the original Iron Man suit from the 2008 film had also went missing, with the Los Angeles Police Department considering it "a burglary" in 2018, per IndieWire.
