10 Actors Who Hate Their Own Movie Performances
1. Tom Holland - Uncharted
This is an extremely unusual case, because most actors are savvy enough to only talk about their past performances in a negative light, not their upcoming ones.
After all, before a movie has even hit cinemas, the last thing you want to do is draw any negative attention towards it, right? As an actor, you need to be saying things like "Oh yeah, this is gonna be the best movie ever!" in order to make people as excited as possible, which will hopefully translate into stronger box-office results.
However, Tom Holland apparently didn't get that memo, because in a recent interview, he actually used the word "mistake" to describe his performance in Sony's upcoming adaptation of Uncharted, which is due for release in 2022.
Holland's problem with his performance is that he feels like he was more focused on looking cool than playing a fleshed-out character, which was a "mistake", and something that he vows to "never do again":
“As soon as you start worrying about ‘Do I look good in this shot?’ acting becomes something other than playing a character. I think there are elements of my performance in Uncharted where I kind of fell under that spell of being ‘I want to look good now. I want this to be my cool moment'... it was a mistake and is something that I will probably never do again.”
Oh, Tom - if you aren't spoiling the Spider-Man and Avengers movies, you're attracting bad press to a project that people already have severe doubts about.
His PR team must be pulling their hair out.
