Your support makes all the difference.Tom Holland says he had to go into unexpected places mentally for his role in the upcoming Netflix film The Devil All the Time.
The actor explained in an interview shared by Variety that he was “really nervous and scared coming on set for the first time” because he wasn’t certain he could pull off the role.
“He is a really complicated character and it is very dark, and I had to go to places mentally that I didn’t know I could go to or don’t think I ever want to go to again," he said.
The Devil All the Time will be released on 16 September.
Holland stars as the young Arvin Russell, who “fights the evil forces that threaten him and his family” in Knockemstiff, Ohio, according to Netflix’s description.
Robert Pattinson plays an “unholy preacher”, while Jason Clarke and Riley Keough portray a “twisted couple”, and Sebastian Stan a “crooked sheriff”.
The cast also includes Bill Skarsgård, Eliza Scanlen, Mia Wasikowska, Harry Melling, Haley Bennett, and Pokey LaFarge.
The Devil All the Time is based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Donald Ray Pollock.
