On Friday, Tom Holland took part in Spider-Man: Homecoming Q&A event on Facebook Live, and at one point during it, the 20-year-old English actor was asked, "What as the best part of filming?" After struggling to come up with answer to that question, he decided to turn the question completely around.
"I can tell you the worst!" Holland excitedly exclaimed. "The worst day was... I was doing a scene with an actor — who I won't tell you who he is — and I was in the Spider-Man suit and it was in the very beginning of shooting, and I was in a harness and I had to stick to the ceiling. And I didn't go to the bathroom for like eleven hours or something. Because, we didn't really figure out how to take the suit off quickly at that point. We didn't understand how it worked. And I was in a harness. And obviously it's hot, so I'm drinking water all the time because I'm doing exercises and running around. But, I need to go to the toilet. Yeah, I didn't go to the bathroom for like eleven hours. And that's an expensive suit. You do not want to wet yourself in that suit. Marvel and Sony would not be happy. So, that was the worst part of filming."
His cumbersome superhero suit story must have jogged something loose. It suddenly dawned on him what the "best part of filming" was. "Actually, the best day of filming was when we went to the children's hospital," he shared. "That was the best day! It made me realize that I've been given this opportunity to play a superhero, so I should try to be a superhero in real life."

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
