\n\tWith two huge movies out this year, Tom Holland<\/a> will be popping up in many places across the globe in 2026. On Wednesday morning, the actor appeared in one of the more unlikely spots \u2014\u00a0atop a parking garage at the Sherman Oaks Galleria \u2014\u00a0but for good reason.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis non-alcoholic beer brand, BERO, presented its second annual Padel Classic, an invite-only tournament featuring talent across sports, entertainment and culture. Simu Liu, Steve Aoki, Rainn Wilson, Jay Shetty and Diplo were there, as was Holland\u2019s other half, Zendaya<\/a>, who showed up to support BERO and his tourney. \u201cBERO\u2019s whole message is community and reaching out to people, friendship and hanging out with one another,\u201d Holland explained to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> before the first ball was tossed in the air. \u201cPadel, for me, is one of my favorite sports. I love playing it with my family. I love the social element of it. People who aren\u2019t maybe as good at tennis can have a good go at Padel. I\u2019m just really happy to be here today to celebrate BERO and meet some really fun people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore he did so, Holland spent 10 minutes with THR<\/em> talking about his BERO brand, how it\u2019s impacted his sobriety and how he\u2019s readying himself for the release of two huge movies back-to-back this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking of celebration, I hear that BERO has launched a new bottle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI love the new bottle. When we first launched the company and talked about designing the cans and other details, I was always really hungry to get a glass bottle out there. For logistical reasons that are way beyond my kind of skillset, it was much harder than we had once anticipated. To have the bottles here today is so exciting. Neha Soi, our chief of operations, is an absolute wizard. She\u2019s incredible. The fact that she managed to pull this off within the timeframe she was given is really incredible.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bottle design is sleek and minimalist. Very cool. Is that your input?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tMy biggest involvement in the company is marketing and branding. I really wanted to create something that didn\u2019t scream non-alc. With a lot of the non-alc companies, their bottles are blue and it\u2019s their way of signifying that it is a non-alcoholic beer. As someone who doesn\u2019t drink, I found that spotlight in a bar sometimes a little overwhelming. My plan for BERO was to create something that people can drink in a bar with all their mates, who might be drinking full-strength beers, and not be made to feel like they are standing out for the wrong reasons. <\/p>\n

\n\tHow has having your own brand influenced your own sobriety journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s been incredibly helpful. There\u2019s definitely a two bird, one stone situation here, which is that I love the product, I love the brand, and I love the people I get to work with. But it also has really helped me stay sober because our whole ethos is authenticity. It would be incredibly unauthentic if I was trying to sell non-alcoholic beer while also drinking myself. It\u2019s such a great drive for me to stay sober. With every day that goes by, it gets easier and easier, but I\u2019m very grateful for the company, for the support it\u2019s given me on my journey to sobriety.<\/p>\n

\n\tI love that. How has your life changed since you got sober?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m just a better version of myself. I am clearheaded and I\u2019m able to work harder. I think I do better work. I think that I handle things going wrong at work in a much more gracious way, and I can take those things in stride and not let myself get flustered. I\u2019m someone that likes to panic a lot \u2014\u00a0or used to \u2014 and since quitting drinking and having such a level head through my whole experience, I\u2019ve just found myself able to manage things a lot better.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s impressive. Let\u2019s talk padel. How often do you play?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tSo admittedly, I have not played padel in ages. I\u2019ve been so busy. I\u2019ve been so lucky the last year to do The Odyssey<\/a><\/em> and Spider-Man<\/em> back-to-back. I really did not want to get injured while I was working, and when I play padel, I like to play at 100 percent capacity which means that I\u2019m very, very vulnerable to rolling an ankle or something. So I was being very careful. But now that I\u2019m not filming for the rest of the year, I\u2019m really excited to get back into it. <\/p>\n

\n\tPadel versus pickleball?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tPadel all day. I love pickle, and I play with Zendaya\u2019s mom a lot, which I really, really enjoy. But I think pickle for me kind of lacks the power that padel has. In padel, you can really smack it. And I love that padel feels more in line with tennis. I love tennis, but I\u2019m not a very good tennis player. So padel, I think, gives me that young kid\u2019s dream to play tennis at a high level, and I love it. We\u2019ve got some great pros here today, and I love watching them play. It\u2019s a different game when they play, and it\u2019s a lot of fun to see.<\/p>\n

\n\tLet\u2019s talk about your big year ahead of promoting these two big movies. Promoting a film involves all these social segments, podcasts and new platforms. When you sit down with your team to map out how to navigate it all, how do you decide what to do and what you like to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI love how it\u2019s changed because I think it feels like we\u2019ve created an environment where people promoting movies can be more authentic to who they are. It feels more personal now in a really nice way. I\u2019m someone that really protects my personal life at all costs, but I will always trade a podcast with a really, really fun host over sitting in a hotel room and doing a hundred interviews in a day. That said, those can be really fun, too. When it\u2019s Zendaya and Jacob [Batalon] and I together doing interviews, it\u2019s always a hoot. But, yeah, I love how it\u2019s changed and it\u2019s really fun. We have to be more strategic and plan ahead so much more. I have an amazing publicist [Cara Tripicchio] who looks after me better than anyone. I\u2019m very grateful to her and her team. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe press tour that we are about to go on is humongous. I\u2019m not going to lie and say that I\u2019m not daunted by the travel and the number of events we are going to. But one of the things that I love, especially for Spider-Man, is that the movie is all about community. All of these stops that we\u2019re doing, we are working in cultural events, community events and there will be charitable components. When you can promote a movie but also shed some light on amazing causes, that\u2019s what really makes a difference.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow does it feel returning to Spider-Man<\/em> now. It\u2019s been a few years and feels like everyone missed Peter Parker\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt is very strange going back into it. We all lived through COVID and that was a time when there was no press tours. All of the press was done via Zoom or in the city that you were in. It\u2019s been a long time since I went on a full-blown press tour and I\u2019m actually just really excited. All of the people that I made the movies with, I love and admire, and they are at the top of their game and people that I can learn from. I\u2019m excited to go on a press tour for The Odyssey<\/em> with Matt Damon and learn from him and watch the way he navigates it. And Chris is such a visionary director. What I love about Chris is that his involvement isn\u2019t just making the movie. He\u2019s over every piece of creative we do for press and promo. It\u2019s just really interesting to see what one of the greatest living directors does on set and then what he does for the press tour. Both of the movies are absolutely fantastic and could not be more different. I feel really lucky that they\u2019re coming out when they are and it\u2019s shaping up to be a fantastic summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tFantastic summer incoming: Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey<\/em> opens July 17, while Destin Daniel Cretton\u2019s Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a><\/em> opens July 31. <\/p>\n
