Hearing that Tom watches my videos to unwind absolutely brightened my day! Thanks for this incredibly insightful interview.
I worked with Tom as a stuntman on one of his films. I sat in the backseat of a car for multiple shots with him which allowed us to chat for a little bit in between takes. He is just as humble and personable on the job/in person as he is in this interview. Great actor and a fantastic human being.
To hear him talk about what good parents do to put their children's feelings first and hide their adult struggles is validating for a person who grew up with the opposite scenario.
I think he is a great example of what good present honest parenting can do for a person.
I enjoyed this so much I felt like I didn't want it to end. Great conversation!
I love how Tom made Jay talk about himself, being genuinely interested in his life
I don't know how I hadn't discovered this podcast prior to this one! You're an amazing host and I love how engaged you are with all of these conversations! I'll be watching them all now!
My son who is 24 just told me that he stopped drinking alcohol all together because of this interview. Just so you know how you are changing people’s lives. I’m so grateful ❤️
This is the most non-toxic masculinity I've ever experienced all in one place. Beautiful podcast, I really enjoyed it
I rarely watch celebrity interviews, but hearing how balanced of a human Tom is, is refreshing. How he sets boundaries and can see this bigger picture of his place in the scope of things is really nice. I believe his close relationships. and connections to family and friends can be attributed to this. More people should try to a wholesome mind set he has. It’s unfortunate many people as he says loose themselves.
Tom Holland is so emotionally mature, he is so kind and a nice guy and I feel like you could talk to him forever. I am glad to be a fan of someone like him because he is someone people can really look up to. I love Tom!
Tom is so emotionally intelligent, I’m impressed by not only the actor he is, but purely the person he has become. Really proud and loved this episode so much 🤍
What an refreshing podcast! Tom is not only so open and honest, he also takes a real interest in Jay and takes on the role of asking him questions. This whole podcast felt like a really safe space for both of them to learn and reflect and inspire one another!
This is probably the best interview I’ve seen! The conversation just flows beautifully and smoothly. The respect you both have for each other is admirable! A lot of interviewers should definitely take some serious notes! Thank you 🙏🏽
Regardless of how you feel about his work, you can't deny that Tom's one of the few humble and realistic celebs, and I admire him for striving to keep it that way!
I don't know that I've ever seen an "interview" where two people were bringing out the best in each other to such an extent, and being so open and receptive to each other's stories. You could just see them enriching each other's experience in real time. I loved it, I felt just so happy for them both :)
The beauty of this podcast is that both are curious about eachothers perspective of life,tom is asking so many amazing question to jay it really makes this podcast amazing.
Tom Holland is a great young man. Also, obviously very empathetic and a good listener. Great episode. Thank you, Jay!
Tom Holland is a real life superhero. Just a genuine and humble human being. Best conversation I've heard in a long, long time.
This is definately a two way conversational podcast. Really loved the episode. Tom is as much interested in Jay's life as Jay is in his.
