Some characters take great pains to truly get into character for their roles in Hollywood blockbusters. Although Tom Holland didn't go full-on Jared Leto to prepare for "Spider-Man: Homecoming", the young actor still did some gritty research for his role as Peter Parker: he enrolled into a high school in the Bronx.
Most people would be quick to say that it's not easy to survive through high school, let alone one in New York. However, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" star Tom Holland insists that he had "fun" going to school in the Bronx, especially since it meant being in a class with lots of girls.

In a recent Facebook Q&A, Tom Holland admitted he enrolled in an unnamed high school in the Bronx for three full days to prepare for his role as Peter Parker. The "Spider-Man: Homecoming" star stated that the school was unlike the one he attended in London since it was "the first time I was in a classroom with girls." Holland added that the whole situation was "strange" but also "really fun."
Meeting girls was not the only thing Tom Holland enjoyed in his NYC high school experience. The young star of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" also loved being anonymous, sharing that no one believed him when he said he will play Peter Parker in the film. The experience helped him realize that nobody would probably believe his character if Peter suddenly admitted to being the Marvel superhero.
