That look of disapproval on toms face when benedict prefer his tea with lemon rather than the usual milk 😁

[@Abby-dg3fm]

But on the other hand Tom once said he loves sugary tea

[@alytra_]

Well Benedict is vegan so he doesn't drink milk

[@trucvivianpham9919]

[@emilygee6618]

Yes Tom, I got your back! The first bad thing someone says about your frog or anything about you I WILL destroy them.

[@imogengrace9904]

Emily Gee #ProtectTomHolland

[@Jenzzyuk]

Yes I am with you on this one

[@emilygee6618]

Car nage, well, what an interesting predicament! Ok to dispute your statement: Tom Holland is the most humble person in the business. Watch any interview of Tom and you will not see one second of him bragging or taking credit for his talent. (trust me I've watched every millisecond of footage there is of him) And whatever recognition he gets he for his incredible-ness he takes very humbly. He is definitely kind hearted as well and is anything but a female dog. Tom Holland is a hilarious and freaking handsome English chap, and he proves that everyday his life. *Well I sure hope I did Tom justice, and I hope I can put together a good argument for him! I was going to find some quotes of him responding to praise but I didn't have much time to write this! And thanks for this practice run, I feel capable for when the time comes to defend this amazing man...sorry I mean Spider-Man.*

[@TashiVoices_35]

[@datepicgamer6326]

Tatianna Townsend part of being british.

[@ReallyRASYT]

It's like when someone walks into me and then I say sorry

[@cheeseca7529]

@4:07 "i was doing strange, wasn't i?" "yes you were hot--you were just about to finish strange yeah" did i actually hear that correctly lmao

[@Apollo52_]

Yes you did

[@ravenb3225]

You were half... Is what I heard

[@CTPillay]

They've been pairing these two a lot in interviews...wonder why

[@gaib9840]

because uncle ben is great at keeping baby tom from spilling spoilers lol

[@kaitpaige6862]

they have some scenes together in the movie that's why

[@gabrielaferreira5243]

Gai Balongo Uncle Ben 😂 I see what you did there

[@MoonlightGarcia]

Benedict keeps him from saying spoilers

[@thechoisoobean-1058]

Izzie Poe do you mind pointing me to the full interview?

[@isabubba5142]

Savi B it may not have been this one, (in all honesty i’m not sure) but i do remember him talking about it. also in another interview benedict was talking about how tom got him sick. (it was a solo interview)

[@thechoisoobean-1058]

Izzie Poe Thank You fellow Tom Lover😂

[@elluminates_edits]

"I love watching my fans rip them apart." It's like the Tom Holland Hunger Games

[@rishimasingh3893]

Tom’s little laugh at 1:48 is literally the cutest thing in the world 🥺💖

[@fianaithbutterly3160]

We really do rip ‘em apart, don’t we? Nobody can *ever* hurt our Tom without getting torn apart😂

[@camer0nb0n92]

tom looks so depressed when Benedict is trying to say meme lol 2:05 look at tom's face

[@rowangoodmann3069]

He lost a close friend of that day

[@zephyrlopez9146]

“If you don’t accept me for who I am with my frog then go away”. That was so adorable!!!

[@giliyaarendofera3344]

How many diseases do you have? Btw the frog in Tom's mouth can probably cure cancer by being so close to Tom

[@petrabriseno2899]

wtf...EW! ya'll stop posting weird things like this ANYWHERE!

The interviewer did a really good job here, just wanted to say that, haha.

[@OffSetUK]

[@eliakelly957]

“i love just watching my fans rip ‘em apart” we gotchu tom ✌️😂

[@EmphaticNod]

I'm on board with all the Benedict and Tom love in the comments, but I just wanted to take a moment and say that I really loved the interviewer as well. She was very natural, friendly, and on-point with interesting interview questions. Seeing all of these interviews from the Infinity War press tour has given me a new appreciation for the ones who don't get all flustered or have super annoying fake laughs...

[@OffSetUK]

brb framing this

[@avawhoops4242]

I love how they all went in awe about sharks for 1.5 seconds

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz8066]

Ahh I've been waiting for this to be released and it did not disappoint:) love Tom and Benedict together!! (Also I love her shoes!)

[@OffSetUK]

Thank you! (only i've just now noticed they still have the label on from when I bought them THREE YEARS AGO!) Glad you enjoyed our chat

[@Mara_1337]

Ok so someone commented on the shoes. They are very pretty but I immediately noticed the ripped off sticker residues and it was soooo distracting ^^ But doesn't matter, it was a great interview and it's understandable that this spot would be overlooked by the person wearing them ^^

[@thechoisoobean-1058]

That picure collage of Tom with the frogs in his mouth has me dead...

[@kristinakulic616]

Tom is right about his fans but I just love the fact that he just sits there and watches us take his haters apart lmfao

[@destiny6695]

“If you don’t accept me for who I am with my frog, then you can go away.” Tom Holland Everybody👏🏼😂

[@heather3037]

The interviewer and Benedict and Tom talking about how much they love sharks kills me 😂

[@kotoriceleste]

I love me these two together

[@asiag.9277]

Every interview with both of them is actually iconic! 😄

[@nataliecooper9377]

The interviewer did great!!!

[@emilyfevens1782]

i love how Tom thinks his fans are so amazing for ripping apart haters and how grateful he is for all of us

I like that tom is okay with us attacking people that attack him 😂🙌🏽

[@loadingloadingloading3175]

hahahahaha I love this! The moment Tom started talking about Marvel and Benedict was like "Tom, be careful"

[@cyruss6536]

Tumblr: He has frog in his mouth. Tom: Maybe I am a frog container

[@nerdspawn4299]

Five bucks says that Tom was drugged up with cold medicine. God I hate colds. You always end up so high off of cold medicine.

[@pygmygiant]

Hana Usagi What would you even get high off? In the UK cold medicine is just like paracetamol/caffeine/phenylephrine. Good luck getting codeine or anything here...

[@nerdspawn4299]

lyraface I am from America and cold medicine makes us really loopy.

[@pygmygiant]

Hana Usagi Damn, that sounds like it’d make my cold more bearable, I should move

[@nerdspawn4299]

lyraface Don't. Our country is getting stupider. Stay where you are. And the cold medicine here only lasts like 2 hours. And it takes forever to find the stuff that works for you.

[@Kaihearts1]

I've never taken cold medicine in my life. Multiple colds

[@worldwanderer89]

5:33 They ARE amazing

[@jherlenecargill4081]

Benedict is a coffee man!!!! I didn't more reasons to love you, Ben!!!!!!!

[@azurecomet86]

Usually avoid interviews, trailers, etc. until after I've seen the movie so here I am 2 years later getting back to all these. Have to say, of all I've watched on both sides of the pond, this is my favorite. Fun, laid back, easy going. Just felt the most natural overall. Came here from your Ryan Reynolds one and it was equally enjoyable. Really like and appreciate your style and the atmosphere you have here. Totally subscribing, and really look forward to more. Thank you & well wishes! 😁

[@MuSicPooL888]

Autumn Jimenez I think he means last as I like the last season that aired...not the last of all time. There’s no plans to make another season any time soon but from what I’ve read everyone is still in board of the opportunity arises

[@akamisdarth]

Summer Brown didn't Martin Freeman downright say that he didnt want to do another season of sherlock?

[@MuSicPooL888]

Darth Akam not that I’ve read/ heard but he might have. The only thing I saw regarding him was that he didn’t want to do it right now, but he wouldn’t be opposed in the future of they wanted to like a one off episode here and there; he may have since changed his mind though and decided he wouldn’t want to.
