Tom Holland’s Recent Injury While Practicing a Backflip
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, actor Tom Holland shared his experience of sustaining an injury while performing a backflip in his role as Spider-Man. The incident highlights the physical demands that come with portraying a superhero and the risks associated with stunt work.
A Physical Challenge Gone Awry
Holland explained that he inadvertently pulled every muscle in his abdominal area during the attempt. Despite his confidence and extensive experience with the maneuver, the execution did not go as planned. He recounted this moment, revealing both his determination and the unforeseen consequences of his actions.
“So I went outside and I was getting ready, and I was thinking, ‘I can do this. I can totally do this. I’ve done this thousands of times.’ And Zendaya was there, and she was like, ‘Are you sure you can still do this?’ I actually did land it, but I pulled every muscle in my stomach, because when you do a backflip, it’s all about extending up as much as you can and then tucking. For weeks, I could not laugh because my stomach was so sore.”
The Physical Toll of Stunt Work
This anecdote not only serves as an insight into the rigorous training and preparation actors like Holland undergo but also illustrates the possibility of injury even for seasoned professionals. Remarkably, Holland managed to land the flip despite the painful mishap, showcasing his resilience and commitment to his craft.
