Tom Holland faced a formidable opponent that even Spider-Man couldn’t conquer: extremely spicy chicken wings. The 30-year-old actor appeared on a recent episode of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones alongside his co-star Jon Bernthal, 49, known for their roles in The Odyssey and the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The duo bravely tackled the show’s signature challenge, answering questions while enduring increasingly fiery wings.
Holland managed to survive all 10 rounds, but the real trial came after finishing the last wing. In a first for the show’s 11-year history, the actor became the inaugural guest to vomit during an episode, though the incident occurred off-camera.
During the post-show filming, Holland experienced a sudden bout of coughing followed by a brief moment of throwing up under the table, with Bernthal enthusiastically cheering him on. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Holland remained in good spirits, joking about keeping his clothes vomit-free.
The climax of the challenge arrived with the notorious “last dab,” where guests coat their final wing in the spiciest sauce. Holland and Bernthal attempted to devour the entire wing, leading to visible regret and physical discomfort.
Reflecting on their longstanding friendship and shared experiences in the industry, Holland expressed his admiration for Bernthal’s character and influence on his life, shedding tears of gratitude during the emotional moment.
The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, achieved significant success, grossing over $260 million globally in its opening weekend. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to premiere on July 31, eagerly anticipated by fans.
