“Mental fortitude of this man is insane”: Tom Holland Will Promote ‘The Crowded Room’ Despite Horrible Reviews
Tom Holland has given the best of his efforts in making his latest Apple TV+ miniseries, The Crowded Room. The series premiered on 9 June, starting with the first three episodes before the next seven are released weekly. Holland admitted that the process took a toll on him emotionally, not least because he’s still on the ‘learning curve’ as a producer.
The series synopsis reads- “The Crowded Room follows Danny Sullivan (Tom Holland), a man who is arrested following his involvement in a shooting in New York City in 1979.
A captivating thriller told through a series of interviews with curious interrogator Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried), Danny’s life story unfolds, revealing elements of the mysterious past that shaped him, and the twists and turns that will lead him to a life-altering revelation.”
Tom Holland To Take A Year-Long Break From Acting
Hollywood actor, Tom Holland has decided to take a year’s break from acting. In a recent interview with Extra, the actor said that filming his latest project, Apple TV+’s upcoming miniseries The Crowded Room, induced the decision.
Tom Holland explained, “I’m no stranger to hard work,” “I’ve lived by the idea that hard work is good work. Then again, the show did break me. There did come a time where I needed a break and disappeared and went to Mexico for a week and had time on a beach and laid low. I’m now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was.”
Despite the tough filming process, Holland was hopeful and excited for the final outcome. Holland both produced and stars in The Crowded Room. The actor said, “We were exploring certain emotions that I have definitely never experienced before,” “And on top of that, being a producer, dealing with the day-to-day problems that come with any film set, just added that extra level of pressure.”
Though Holland won’t be taking up any further projects this year, The Crowded Room will mark the actor’s last project for the foreseeable future.
Tom Holland To Still Promote The Crowded Room After Negative Reviews
Tom Holland put his all into the recent project, The Crowded Room, but unfortunately, the series faced quite negative reviews. Holland tells The Hollywood Reporter at The Crowded Room premiere in New York City Thursday that, “I just kept my head down. I dug my heels in, and I just tried my best.”
In an interview with UNILAD, responding to the negative reviews for The Crowded Room Holland said, “For me, if we can somehow make people feel empowered by saying, ‘I’m not feeling good, I really need some help,’ then we’ve done what we set out to do.”
Based on a non-fiction novel, The Minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes, the show is a psychological thriller which follows Danny Sullivan, a man who is arrested in 1979 following a fatal shooting at Rockefeller Center. In the first trailer for The Crowded Room, we see Holland’s character struggling with similar circumstances.
