Exploring what Tom Hollander said about almost getting a bonus meant for Tom Holland

Tom Hollander recently told late-night host Seth Myers that he is often mistaken for Spiderman star Tom Holland, especially in “non-visual contexts.” He also admitted how the process is at times hard as he was Holland’s senior by nearly three decades, but it was the latter who was doubly famous.

Hollander then said how once upon a time he shared his agent with the Marvel star, and almost ended up receiving a seven-figure bonus cheque, as the accounts department got confused between Hollander and Holland. It happened while watching a play in which a friend was acting for £300 per week.

Tom Hollander stated,

"I sat smugly in the audience having just done a BBC show for 30 grand or something which was gonna get me through the next year or so, and I was thinking 'Well this is marvelous, I’m very prosperous.'"

He continued his anecdote saying how he was having a moment of superiority complex and even thought of patronizing his friend later on about his “wonderful” and unexpected bonus. However, when he checked his emails during the interval, he discovered it was actually meant for Holland, and the payslip had The Avengers star’s name.

“It was an astonishing amount of money. It was not his salary. It was his first box office bonus. Not the whole box office bonus, the first one. And it was more money than I’d ever [seen]. It was a seven-figure sum… My feeling of smugness disappeared,” Tom Hollander noted.

Hollander also explained how people often heard his name, especially the youngsters, and thought they would meet SpiderMan, only to be left confused and disappointed.

On Late Night with Seth Myers, Tom Hollander was promoting his upcoming anthology drama series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, where he enacts the role of famous American author Truman Capote. It was created by Ryan Murphy and will premiere on FX on January 31, as per Hollywood Reporter.
