    Tom Holland's Mom Upset by His Role in Hard-Hitting New Movie 'Cherry'

    The ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ actor reveals his mother Nicola was caught off guard by his onscreen performance as a struggling drug addict in his new movie.

    Feb 11, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Spider-Man star Tom Holland received an earful from his mother after upsetting her with a clip of his new crime drama “Cherry”, in which he plays a struggling drug addict.
    The actor, 24, takes on the titular role as an Army veteran who self-medicates to treat his post-traumatic stress disorder and resorts to bank robbery to feed his addiction, but his mum, Nicola Frost, was left thoroughly unimpressed after receiving an unexplained sneak peek at a gruelling scene.
    “Biggest mistake ever,” Tom recalled of the text drama. “I was like, ‘This is how my day’s going,’ and she was furious with me.”
    “I guess I wasn’t thinking right, and I was like, ‘Do you know who would really like to see this? My mum.’ In hindsight, it was a really stupid thing to have done.”

    He continued, “I think when my mum goes to see my films in particular, the thing she likes the most are the moments she goes, ‘Oh, that’s my little boy.’ But in this film there’s nothing like that.”
    Nicola and Tom’s father, Dominic Holland, eventually embraced the hard-hitting “Cherry”, and that came as a huge relief to the young star, as he treasures their opinions of his work.
    He told Esquire magazine, “They were able to enjoy it as a movie and not a biopic of their son doing heroin. They are really proud, and they really liked it.”
    “If I seek anyone’s approval, it would be my parents. That would be the highest level of achievement.”
    Tom Holland’s other new movies include sci-fi action “Chaos Walking”, a “Spider-Man: Far From Home” sequel, and video game adaption “Uncharted”.

      The Russo Brothers Spill on Tom Holland's Role in Their Decision to Take on 'Cherry'

      Speaking about the adaptation of the Nico Walker novel, Joe and Anthony Russo confess that the dark elements of the source material led them to coming close in turning down the chance to direct it.

      Jan 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Filmmaking brothers Joe and Anthony Russo were ready to turn down the chance to direct “Cherry (2021)” before realising “Avengers” star Tom Holland would be the crime drama’s perfect leading man.
      The siblings were initially unsure about how to approach the adaptation of the Nico Walker novel of the same name, about an army medic who resorts to robbing banks after struggling with a substance abuse problem upon returning home, because the source material was so “dark”.
      Speaking to Variety, Anthony said, “I don’t even know that Joe and I wanted to commit to doing the movie at all until we thought of Tom in the role. The book is dark, very complicated, and that’s what its value is.”
      “We wanted to make this movie because it speaks to very relevant and current issues dealing with opioid addiction that has to do with the military experience, the modern military experience. It was a very original take on those experiences, specific to the modern generation.”

      “We wanted to do a version of the movie that was palatable, not like taking your medicine.”
      It was only when the Russo Brothers began considering how Tom’s involvement would transform the movie that they started to understand how they would tackle the adaptation.
      “Tom is so likeable. He’s such an appealing actor, and so good,” Anthony gushed. “Once we started thinking about him as a character, the whole movie opened up for us as a possibility because he was our road to an accessible, exciting, enjoyable version of a difficult film.”
      “Cherry” will open in theatres in late February (21), before premiering on Apple TV+ in March.

      The ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ actor plays a nerd youngster falling in love who suffers from PTSD after joining the army and returning from a war zone in the Russo brothers movie.

      Jan 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tom Holland gets into yet another dark role following his raved performance in “The Devil All the Time”. Putting aside his goofy and clumsy persona, the Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man in Marvel Cinematic Universe plays a druc-addicted bank robber in “Cherry” from “Avengers” films’ directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, which first full trailer has arrived for viewing pleasure.
      In the newly-released sneak peek, Holland’s title character is first depicted as a nerd young man who falls in love. Against the odds, he decides to trade his peaceful life for an intense life in battle zone by joining the army.
      Upon returning from war where he served as an Army medic, Cherry is not the same person. He’s suffering “from post-traumatic stress disorder” and “becomes a serial bank robber after an addiction to drugs puts him in debt.”

      Also starring Ciara Bravo as Cherry’s love interest, the crime drama is adapted from the novel of the same name by Nico Walker, who based the titular character on himself. The official description of the movie doesn’t reveal much of the storyline but this, “In an epic odyssey of romance, war, drug addiction, and crime, a young man (Holland) struggles to find his place in the world.”
      Meanwhile, the Russo brothers said on their official Twitter account that “Cherry is the most personal film we have made. The city. The people. The story.” They went on to reveal the movie’s release date in the tweet, ” #Cherry is in theaters on February 26th and on @AppleTV March 12th.”
      The filmmaking duo, who has also directed Holland in “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame”, previously said of Holland’s performance in the upcoming movie, “I think it’s an Oscar-worthy performance.” Joe Russo gushed, “I think [Holland] is absolutely amazing in it. He gives a gut-wrenching performance. What he does to himself emotionally and physically is unbelievable. We haven’t seen an actor in a role like this in a while. The movie spans a decade, complemented by an epic performance. And one that I certainly hope will be in the Oscar conversation.”
