In addition to his meeting with children who were excited to see him, thinking he is the ‘Spider-Man’ actor, only to be disappointed when they realize he’s not, ‘White Lotus’ star Tom Hollander reveals that he has once again been mistaken for the Spider-Man actor, Tom Holland, this time resulting in him receiving a large sum of money that belonged to Holland.
According to Variety, during a recent appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” Hollander recalled the time when his agency mixed him up with Holland in an email, mistakenly sending the Marvel star’s box office bonus to the British actor.
“The people in the accounts department of my agency got confused. We were with the same agents briefly. And it was a terrible moment,” Hollander told Meyers with his trademark dry wit. “I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England. I sat smugly in the audience, just having done a BBC show for $30,000 … the interval came and I checked my email, and I got one from the agency saying, ‘Payment slip for first box office bonus for ‘The Avengers.'”
Hollander thought to himself, “I don’t think I’m in ‘The Avengers,'” but he proceeded to open the email that was intended for Tom Holland.
“It was an astonishing amount of money,” Hollander said. “It was not his salary. It was his first box-office bonus. Not the entire bonus, just the first one. And it was more money than I had ever seen. It was a seven-figure sum.”
