He may be able to legitimately flip around a room like Spider-Man himself and seamlessly switch into an American accent with remarkable ease, but it turns out that Tom Holland isn't quite as talented when it comes to staying under the radar.

Determined to nail the bartending aspect of his version of the Nathan Drake character seen strutting around the recent Uncharted big-screen adaptation, the Brit decided to take a few bartending classes before ultimately putting them to the test in real-life.

And the Spider-Man star even managed to blend in with the rest of his bar working colleagues at Chiltern Firehouse in London for a number of shifts. But it wasn't too long before fans caught wind of the MCU sensation flipping bottles at the establishment, and as Holland would explain to Sirius XM, "then the general manager started figuring it out... Eventually, I sort of got kicked out.”

Hilariously, despite definitely bringing in a ton of publicity to the joint, Holland would note how he now has "a little bit of a rocky relationship" with his former workplace. Though he thankfully hasn't been barred for life following on from going full Tom Cruise in Cocktail.

Drinks on Tom then, eh!
