U-Tom Holland uthanda igalofu. Uhlale ecabanga ngakho. Udlala imizuliswano ezifundweni zomphakathi nasezifundweni ezaziyisifundazwe samakhosi kuphela. Udlala ngenkathi esohambweni lokunyathelisa amafilimu e-Asia naseYurophu nase-United States. Uma okwamanje akadlali igalofu, cishe kuhlale kunengxenye ethile yomqondo wakhe elindele isikhathi esizayo lapho ezokwazi khona. “Angazi ukuthi kwenzekeni,” kusho uHolland, “kodwa sekuphenduke umlutha wami. Ngilala ngicabanga ukudlala igalofu ngakusasa.” Sobabili, empeleni, singemuva kweSUV, sidabula e-Holland yaseLondon lapho sisendleleni siyodlala khona manje.
Okujabulisayo ngalokhu kulungiswa ukuthi uTom Holland kungashiwo ukuthi unezinto ezingcono okufanele azenze. Eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, lapho eneminyaka engu-18, wayephakathi kwezinsizwa ezicishe zibe ngu-7,000 ezahlolelwa impinda yesithathu yaleli khulu leminyaka le-franchise ye-Spider-Man. Ngokungafani nabanye abayizi-6 999 noma ngaphezulu—ekupheleni kwale nqubo, uhlu olufushane lwabanye abalingisi abacatshangelwa indima yalo kuthiwa luhlanganisa uTimothée Chalamet, uNat Wolff, u-Asa Butterfield, noLiam James—yena wathola indima. Eminyakeni edlule, impilo kaHolland iye yaba yinqaba kakhulu.
Ngandlela thize impumelelo yezezimali yamafilimu amabili e-Spider-Man e-Holland ibeka phansi lokho i-Holland eseyiyikho entsheni eningi yezethameli ezifuna futhi zizisekele ngamamuvi ezincwadi zamahlaya. U-Holland usanda kuhlanganisa iminyaka engu-23 futhi ekukhanyeni okufanele usabukeka eneminyaka engu-16. Uyena ongafinyeleleka, izethameli ezithatha indawo. Uyinkanyezi yabo. Ekubonakaleni kokuqala kukaHolland esikrinini njengoSpider-Man, ngo-2016 uCaptain America: Civil War, uTony Stark kaRobert Downey Jr. ubonakala efulethini likaPeter Parker oseQueens, engenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ufuna bani: “Ungumfana. …I-Spiderling? Uyi-Spider-Boy?"
Ngokungafani nabangaphambi kwakhe ababili endimeni, u-Tobey Maguire (oqinile, okhulile, ogcwele ubuhlungu) no-Andrew Garfield (okubonakala sengathi uzulazule engxenyeni ngemuva kokukhuphuka kakhulu ekhonsathini ye-Pulp ngo-1998), u-Holland empeleni wayengumfana osemusha. ngenkathi eqala engxenyeni, futhi wadlala uPeter Parker ngokufanele. U-Spider-Man waseHolland ubenenhliziyo enhle esobala kanye nomdlandla omkhulu. Wayemangele amanye ama-Avengers njengoba kwakungenza noma yimuphi omunye oneminyaka engu-18 ubudala, kodwa akazange akuthathe njengento ebaluleke kakhulu. Bekukhona uSpider-Man, obedlala iwebhu esiphethweni esiyisiphithiphithi se-Avengers: Infinity War, ehlenga abalingisi bakwamanye amafilimu e-Marvel ahlukene, akhumbuleka kancane: “Ngikutholile!” "Ngikutholile!" "Uxolo, angikhumbuli amagama amuntu." (Kuyafana, i-Spider-Man.)
I-Holland—yakhiwe ngesizotha, ehlala iwumdlalo—ibe nendlela yokwenza imibukiso emikhulu, egcwele i-CGI izwakale ilingana nomuntu futhi. Abanye abaqondisi bakunakile. Lokhu kuwa kukodwa, u-Holland naye ulingisa ku-The Current War, ebhekene no-Benedict Cumberbatch, ne-Spies in Disguise, ebhekene no-Will Smith. Ngonyaka ozayo uzodlala kumafilimu kaDoug Liman, Antonio Campos, kanye nabazalwane baseRusso. Impilo yakhe, eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ibiphilwa cishe kumasethi wamabhayisikobho kuphela. Akukho nokukodwa kwakho okuvimbe i-Holland ekucabangeni, ngawo wonke amathuba, mayelana negalofu.
“Okumnandi ngegalofu wumdlalo othobisa kakhulu,” kusho uHolland. “Njengaye Ama-Avengers, isibonelo, isanda kuba ifilimu enkulu kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona. Kuyamangaza lokho, kuyajabulisa kakhulu. Ngakho-ke ngifana nokuthi: ‘Ngizohamba ngiyodlala igalofu nabafana futhi ngigubhe.’ Bese udlala njengomdlali webhola. ingquza, futhi ikubuyisela emhlabeni.”
UTom Holland
I-Holland ibhekisa lapha ezindabeni zokuthi Avengers: Endgame, ephume ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, futhi lapho abiza khona, isivele yaba ifilimu engenisa imali ephezulu kakhulu emlandweni wefilimu. Enye ifilimu u-Holland abonakale kuyo kulo nyaka, i-Spider-Man: Far From Home, okwamanje iyifilimu yesine eyenza imali eningi ngo-2019. Ngakho-ke, ngikhomba emotweni, u-Tom Holland angaba umlingisi wesilisa ohamba phambili, imigomo ye-box office, ngo-2019.
Uthi uHolland akakacabangi ngalokhu. "Hewu. Angizange ngikucabange lokho.”
Khona-ke uyabuza, ngobuqotho: “Ngakho-ke, njengokuthi, minyaka yonke kuba khona umuntu wonyaka wehhovisi lamabhokisi?”
Hhayi impela, ngisho. Kufana... nokubuka. Awukho umklomelo osemthethweni noma yini.
U-Holland unqekuzisa ikhanda futhi, usacubungula lolu lwazi.
“Hawu,” usho kanje.
“Eqeqebeni lezingane ezineminyaka engu-10 ubudala ezidlala ibhola lombhoxo, u-Tom Holland owenza i-ballet ejimini kwakungemnandi,” usho kanje mayelana nokuxhashazwa. "Kodwa yilokho obekufanele ngikwenze uma ngifuna ukuthola lo msebenzi."
Kodwa empeleni, lokho angeke kulunge, uthi-kuthiwani ngeThe Rock?
"Yini ephumayo uDwayne?" uyabuza. “UThe Rock ngumuntu ebengihlale ngibukela kuyena. Into yakhe yonke ukuthi: Yiba ngumuntu osebenza kanzima ekamelweni. Yinto engiyifake enhliziyweni. Futhi lapho ngimuzwa esho lokho ngokokuqala ngqa, ngathi, Lesi isisho esihle ngempela.”
E-The Rock, mhlawumbe, iHolland yabona omunye uchwepheshe. Indima yokuqala yangempela kaHolland yaba seWest End yaseLondon, edlala phambili kuBilly Elliot. Wayeneminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye lapho ethintwa okokuqala ngale ngxenye. Umama wakhe, umthwebuli wezithombe othengisayo, wayembhalise ekilasini lokudansa ngemuva kokumbuka esabela ngendlela ehambisana kahle nengoma kaJanet Jackson, futhi wabonwa lapho kuqala. U-Holland wabe eseqeqeshwa iminyaka emibili, ukuze akwazi ukwenza indima. Ingxenye yalokho kuqeqeshwa kwakuhilela ukufunda i-ballet. “Ngangikwenza ejimini yesikole ngezikhathi zokudla kwasemini ngedwa, ngigqoke amathayithi, nginothisha,” kusho u-Holland. “Ngakho-ke unezingane ezibuka ngamafasitela. Eqeqebeni lezingane ezineminyaka engu-10 ubudala ezidlala ibhola lombhoxo, u-Tom Holland owenza i-ballet ejimini akumnandi kangako.” Uthi ngenxa yalokhu, waxhashazwa kancane. “Kodwa, uh, uyazi, lokho kuhle. Yilokho obekufanele ngikwenze uma ngifuna ukuthola lo msebenzi.”
Kusuka ku-ballet, u-Holland wafunda uhlobo oluthile lolimi lokunyakaza. Uthi: “I-ballet isiLatini sokudansa. “Yonke isiqephu somdanso siqhamuke kwi-ballet. Ukuvela kuleso sizinda kuye kwangivumela ukuba ngikhulume ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. Isibonelo, ku-Spider-Man suit, ngokuvamile awukwazi ukubona ubuso bakhe. Kodwa ngithola indlela yokudlulisa umuzwa noma kunjalo.” Umdanso, u-Holland uthi, wamfundisa “ukuzwela ngezindlela ezihlukene angakhali noma angahleki.” Futhi kusukela ekwenzeni imidlalo yeshashalazi njalo ebusuku, kusukela eneminyaka engu-11 ubudala, u-Holland wafunda ukuba uchwepheshe—ukusebenza njengomuntu omdala kuyilapho eseyingane.
Muva nje, i-Holland ithumele umyalezo kuThe Rock ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, futhi baqala ukukhuluma; UHolland uthi: “Uyindoda ekhuthazayo.” Ngemva kwengxoxo yabo, u-Holland wazizwa ephefumulelwe. Wayengenzani, ukuhlonipha iThe Rock? "Ngangithi, ngizoya ejimini ye-fucking."
"Angikaze ngiqonde uma ubuka, njengokuthi, osaziwayo abasebasha bayaphuma," kusho uHolland manje. “Ngangithi, ‘Kungani wenza lokho? Vele uzipholele uphole.’ ”
Nakuba lokhu kuzokwenza ngokushesha ushintsho, iningi lezindima zase-Holland esikrinini kuze kube manje bekungamadodana, onobhala, abafundisi-abesilisa abasebasha, abafunda noma bavukela abadala babo. Lokhu ngokwengxenye kungenxa yeminyaka ka-Holland, futhi ngokwengxenye ngenxa yobumsulwa obuthile usabugcinile futhi obuhlala bubonakala ebusweni bakhe, obuvulekile futhi obungenacala futhi obusobala ngokungajwayelekile. Empilweni yangempela, futhi, i-Holland izithole, eHollywood, iqoqa abeluleki nezingelosi eziqaphayo endleleni. Kukhona uChris Hemsworth, alingisa naye kwekaRon Howard ethi In the Heart of the Sea futhi kamuva ne-Avengers, kwase kuba nguRobert Downey Jr., kunjalo. U-Jake Gyllenhaal, odlala indawo ekhohlakele ku-Spider-Man: Far From Home, usephenduke umngani futhi, uthi.
Futhi-ke, ehlale eqaphela ukungabi nonya, uthi, “Kodwa ngiqonde ukuthi, ungahle uhlele futhi ungahle ungazi ukuthi ukuyiphi iplanethi noma ukuthi ulwa nobani noma ukuthi ubani iqhawe kwesokunxele sakho. Kodwa okungijabulisayo ukuthi ekupheleni kosuku, ngikhule ngingumlandeli omkhulu walawa mafilimu. Ngakho-ke ukuze ngithole ithuba lokusebenza ngazo kodwa futhi ngibe sebumnyameni ngendaba, ngisengakwazi ukujabulela ifilimu njengomlandeli, uyazi?"
Muva nje, u-Holland uvele ohlelweni lwezingxoxo noPaltrow, azimisele ngokuhlangana naye kuze kube yilapho ekhumbula kahle ukuthi u-Spider-Man ungubani. BekuyiThe Graham Norton Show, kwathi uHolland wavela noGyllenhaal, Paltrow, kanye noTom Hanks. Ngesinye isikhathi, maphakathi nombukiso, uHanks wanquma ukuqhuba iHolland ngokuzivocavoca okulingisayo. Lokhu akuzange kuhlelwe kusenesikhathi. U-Hanks ucele u-Holland ukuthi aphinde umugqa olula—“Ikhofi, ikhofi, mfana, ngidinga ikhofi elengeziwe”—ngezindlela eziningi ezihlukene ngangokunokwenzeka.
UTom Holland uyaqaphela ngokuzumayo amajini engiwagqokile futhi abukeka ekhathazekile. Ngeke bangivumele ukuthi ngidlale igalofu kulabo-ngiyakwazi lokho, akunjalo? Ngiphakamise ubhaka engifike nawo, nezingubo zokushintsha, futhi usabela ngokukhululeka okusobala. Imodi yakhe ezenzakalelayo iwuhlobo lobungani bamehlo abanzi. Ngingene kanjani kubuntatheli? uyabuza. Wenzani umkami? Ngingathanda ibhodlela lamanzi, mhlawumbe? Uyaqala ngqa ukuba neholidi elinwetshiwe eminyakeni edlule, futhi umthelela wakhe ungowomuntu othi, lapho esefike esiphethweni sokudubulana, azihlole amanxeba: Ingabe ngisengumuntu olungile? Sengingubani? Ngisazithanda?
"Angikaze ngiqonde uma ubuka, njengokuthi, osaziwayo abasebasha bayaphuma," kusho uHolland. "Ngiyabonga, Kungani wenza lokho? Vele uphole futhi uphole. Futhi kwaze kwaba yilapho ngizwa ingcindezi yokuthi, Ingabe lowo muntu uthatha isithombe sami? Ingabe lo muntu uthatha isithombe sami? Ingcindezi yalokho.”
"Ngakho-ke, bekungelona isonto elihle kakhulu," kusho uHolland. Umhlathi wakhe uqina kancane uma ecabanga nje.
Ngoba ubumfihlo balo muntu bephulwa ama-tabloids ayisigidi?
“Yebo.”
Kungakho kungani?
“Kunjalo nje, ngingumuntu ozimele kakhulu. Uma wenza usesho lwe-Google, angiyena umuntu we-tabloid. Angithandi ukuhlala endaweni ebonakalayo. Ngimuhle kakhulu ekukhanyeni kuphela lapho ngidinga ukuba khona. Um, ngakho...eh...kube wukwethuka kancane ohlelweni. Ngiyaqala ngqa ukuba sematheni. Kuyaqala ngqa ukuba kwenzeke into efana nalena kimina. Ngakho-ke kuyashaqisa kancane ohlelweni. Umh, kodwa uyazi, kodwa into oyibukayo bese uthi, ‘O, kulungile, angisaphinde ngizibeke kuleso simo.’”
Kungasho ukuthini lokho, ukuthi ungaphinde uzibeke kuleso simo?
UHolland ubheka ngaphandle kwefasitela isikhathi esithile. “Angifuni ngempela ukukhuluma ngakho,” esho ekugcineni.
Kodwa ube eseqhubeka: “Kimina, kuwukubonakaliswa kwempilo engingayiphili. Futhi ngiyayithanda impilo yami yangasese, ngiyabathanda abangani bami, ngiyathanda ukuphuma. Futhi-yebo, ngi-"
Leli bekuyizinga elisha lokugada.
“Yebo. Bengithi, Hawu, kwenzekani lapha? Futhi kwakunengcindezi encane nje. Uyazi, kwaba ukuvuka, njengokuthi: Yilokhu impilo yakho eyikho manje. Ngakho qaphela nje.”
“Futhi umama wathi, ‘Bheka, awutholi msebenzi, ngakho udinga ukuba nepulani B. Ngikubhalisele kulesi sikole sokubaza eCardiff. Uzohamba uyofunda ukuba umbazi.’ ”
Esifundweni sikhuluma kakhulu ngegalofu. Lapho uHolland ekhula, ubaba wakhe wamfundisa lo mdlalo. Uyise, uDominic Holland, ungusomahlaya onekhono. Uke waba nomsebenzi we-showbiz, futhi-noma okungenani ufisa owodwa. Ngo-2017 washicilela umlando wamahlaya obizwa ngokuthi i-Eclipsed, mayelana nokubuka isimo sezulu sendodana yakhe sikhuphuka embonini yezokuzijabulisa enengxube yokuziqhenya nomona. Kungaba nzima ukusho ngezinye izikhathi, ukufunda i-Eclipsed, ukuthi kungakanani ukuzidela kuka-Holland kuyiqiniso—ku-bio yakhe, uzishaya isifuba ngokuthi “ubhale imidlalo eminingi yesikrini, yonke esezigabeni ezihlukene zokungenziwa” - futhi ukuthi kungakanani okushiwo njengokuncane. Ugcina ibhulogi elandisa ngempilo yakhe kanye nempumelelo yendodana yakhe, avame ukuyiqhathanisa namaphutha akhe azichazayo.
Kuzulazula impungushe. I-Holland icosha udoti njengoba sihamba, igcwalisa ama-divots. Kuhlaza ulungisa wonke amabhola ahlangana nawo. Kuyamsanganisa ukuthi abantu bangazinakekeli izifundo njengoba enza. “Lena yinkundla yami yegalofu,” usho kanje. Embobeni yesihlanu, ngidonsa ibhola kwesokunxele. “Ngeshwa,” kusho u-Holland. "Uzokwazi ukukubona lokho!"
Sikhuluma ngokuthi bekunjani, inhlolokhono ye-Spider-Man. Kwakuyinqubo yezinyanga eziyisithupha. Lapho kuphuma uhlu olufushane lwabalingisi abebecatshangelwa indima, u-Holland uthi, “Angizange ngibe ngumdlali ovelele emhlabeni. Wakubona njalo lokho. “Njengomuntu osemusha, othatheka kalula, uthatha lokho okufunda ku-Instagram njengeqiniso,” usho kanje. Abantu ababelingisa bebelokhu bemtshela ukuthi uzokwazi kusasa. Ngaleso sikhathi kwakuzodlula amanye amasonto ayisithupha. “Ngifaka wonke lawa mavidiyo ku-inthanethi ami ngenza ama-backflips,” uyakhumbula. “Futhi impendulo ibingeyinhle kakhulu. Futhi lapho ngiphonswa, wonke umuntu wayefana nokuthi, ‘Angenza ama-backflips, uphelele.’ ” Kulapho ayeka khona ukuthatha i-Instagram njengeqiniso.
