  • At this point, Tom is almost as well-known for his Lip Sync Battle as he is for Spider-Man. He mentions in one interview that he's well aware of how famous that video has become and admits that he's tired of people asking about it.
  • When interviewed about meeting Robert Downey Jr. for the first time (as part of his Spider-Man audition), Tom described how nervous he was, fanboying as RDJ came on set (out of a helicopter, no less), and how their first conversation involved him trying not to burst with glee. He then commented how RDJ "looked different than he does on screen," only for the real Robert Downey Jr. to come on set, revealing that Tom had been fanboying over his stunt double the whole time.
  • What else he's well-known for is failing to keep secrets about the Marvel films. Which, of course, meant that when given a copy of the teaser poster for Avengers: Infinity War, he excitedly showed it to his Instagram followers... only to discover too late that the poster came with a note telling him not to share it. The best part? The whole thing was staged, meaning Marvel Entertainment is as aware of his blabbermouth status as the rest of us.
    • His inability to not blab has led to him receiving only his lines and a vague explanation as to what is happening in a scene while filming Avengers: Endgame.
      • It's doubtful anything can top the fact he was told a scene was for a wedding when in fact it was Tony Stark's funeral!
        Tom: I kept looking around and I was like, "Where's Robert?"
    • There was a joke article on The Onion with the headline "Tom Holland accidentally uploads whole of Avengers 4 to Twitter". Tom claims his reaction to this was "shit, did I?"
    • It gets incredibly amusing when the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailers were aired, the first one starts with Tom himself warning people not to watch the trailer due to spoilers if they haven't seen Endgame yet.
    • And a case of Dramatic Irony, Tom revealed during a promotional interview with Jimmy Kimmel that he was supposed to upload this trailer on his Instagram... except, the notoriously memetic spoiler Tom Holland had forgotten to upload the spoileriffic trailer, when he was actually supposed to do so! This then segues into Zendaya recalling how she had to teach Tom Holland how to use Instagram because he had no idea how the video feature worked and accidentally uploaded something twice.
    • The first official teaser for Spider-Man: No Way Home isn't even in-universe. It's just Tom coming out of John Watts' office and complaining to Zendaya and Jacob Batalon (MJ and Ned Leeds, respectively) that the director had given them a fake title for the movie; the others claim they aren't surprised, given Tom's history of spoilers. They then walk past a whiteboard with the title on it.
  • In one interview he apparently has Robert Downey Jr.'s contact as "The Godfather" on his phone.
  • Leading up to the release of the Shadowbringers expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, Tom starred in a commercial opposite Hannibal Buress, which consists of him training to become the Warrior of Darkness.
    Hannibal: Hey, you don't need that sword, man! You're not the Warrior of Darkness!
    Tom: Yes I am, look at my sword!
    Hannibal: You're from West London. That's the really nice part of London.
