‘The Odyssey’s Tom Holland On Why He “Could Relax” After Robert Pattinson Casting: “You’re So Good At Being A Dickhead”

Tom:

“Rob and I have made three movies together now, all very different. I’ve loved every minute of working with Rob, and I’ve always felt like I’ve left the set a better actor because he raises the stakes of every scene. What was really exciting for me, and also really daunting, was that we get to establish the stakes of the movie for Matt’s [Damon] journey right at the beginning. I felt the weight of that pressure.”

“The friction between our characters is so important for my entire journey. I was really nervous about trying to make sure that that felt authentic and scary enough for my character to make this desperate decision to go on this journey.”

“I knew when I found out that you were playing Antinous that I could relax because you’re so good at being a dickhead.”

Hey Tom…your wife seems to be doing a lot of movies with Rob this year…more than she’s doing with you…
