Tom Holland has spoken about coming to terms with the intensifying media coverage of his private life, saying that he doesnt like living in the spotlight.
The Spider-Man and Avengers star made the admission in a new interview as he recalled being photographed with a female companion at this years BST concert series in Londons Hyde Park.
Subsequent coverage of the photograph led to the womans name and Instagram account being reported – a move that Holland believes was an invasion of her privacy.
Its just, Im a very private person. If you do a Google search, Im not a tabloid person. I dont like living in the spotlight, he told GQ.
Im quite good at only being in the spotlight when I need to be… it just was a bit of a shock to the system.

Holland said that the experience left him not wanting to put myself in that situation again.
For me, its a reflection of a life that I dont live, the 23-year-old continued. And I like my private life, I like my friends, I like going out.
I was just, “Whoa, what is going on here?” And it was just a little stressful.
You know, it was a wake-up of, like: “This is what your life is now. So just be wary.”
Holland did also point to a network of famous pals that he could call on for support in dealing with such situations, including his Spider-Man co-star Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The young actor said that he could confide in them as they had more experience of those kind of situations.
