Tom Holland Plans Acting Break Post Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey in 2027: 'You Can't Do Your Best...'
'I feel really blessed to be at a point in my career where I can take time off, reset, and come back ready to go,' Holland told the magazine. 'You can't be in every movie, and you can't do your best work when you're burnt out.'
The actor has already lined up two major projects for 2026: The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, where he plays Telemachus, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking his return as Peter Parker.
Why Tom Holland is prioritizing mental health and rest
Tom Holland shared how important it is to set boundaries. 'What I've learnt is that it's important to set boundaries, to be mindful about overworking,' he said. 'I've got a slightly busy year next year, and then I'll probably take a bit more time off in 2027. We'll see.'
His comments follow a growing conversation around mental health in Hollywood. Holland previously took a year off in 2023 after working on The Crowded Room, saying it was something he 'needed' after acting non-stop since age 11.
'I had been acting flat out since I was 11,' he said. During his time off, Holland said the highlight was winning a golf tournament alongside his brothers and English golf pro Tommy Fleetwood. 'It was the best day of my life. I called my lady and was like, 'Listen, I'm thinking of turning pro,'' he joked.
Here's what Tom Holland has said about stepping away permanently
In a Men's Health interview earlier this year, Holland said he plans to retire from acting once he becomes a father. 'When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,' he shared. 'Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.'
Holland, who is engaged to his Spider-Man co-star Zendaya, added that family and a quieter life are part of his long-term vision.

Back in 2013, after Karishma Kotak's participation in Bigg Boss 6, she had also auditioned for a role in Salman Khan's brother Sohail Khan's film, Mental. British-Indian model and actress Karishma Kotak has suddenly found herself back in the spotlight and it is not for her professional endeavours. The former Bigg Boss 6 contestant started making headlines after she was proposed to on live TV by Harshit Tomar, co-owner of the World Championship of Legends (WCL). The unexpected proposal came during a live post-match broadcast at Edgbaston, right after the grand finale of WCL 2025. As the Internet revisits Karishma's journey, we take a look at a major moment from her career which has a Salman Khan connection. Back in 2013, after Karishma rose to fame after her participation in Bigg Boss 6, she was reported to have auditioned for a role in Salman Khan's brother Sohail Khan's film, Mental. And guess what? It was speculated that Salman himself recommended her for the part.

However, Karishma was said to be a frontrunner.

He was impressed with her when she was on Bigg Boss. The Khans are happy with her, but the final decision will be taken in 10 days. Since the film goes on the floors in February (after Salman is back from the US after a medical treatment), they have to decide soon."

'Oh my God. I have seen this guy in Roadies Audition. I guess his name was Harshit. There he was claiming that he had a lot of girlfriends and his one liners made girls go in love with him. Raghu and Ranvijay absolutely destroyed him,' a user wrote. 'Disgusting, plus he gave her a pat on her back, that's ridiculous, she looks utterly disgusted,' another user commented. 'He'll get away with this because he is rich; he should be charged for using undue influence,' a third user reacted. According to reports, Karishma Kotak's breakthrough project was for Kingfisher Calendar 2006. She further went on to collaborate with several high-end brands. The British model and TV anchor also participated in Bigg Boss season 6, hosted by Salman Khan. In 2016, she made her Punjabi film debut with Kaptaan. In the WCL final, Pakistan's captain Mohammad Hafeez won the toss and chose to bat first.

In response, South Africa chased down the target effortlessly, with AB de Villiers leading the charge, scoring 120 not out off just 60 balls.
