Tom Holland has said that his approach to playing Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie may have been a "mistake."In an interview with GQ, Holland reflected on his role in the Uncharted movie, now dated for release in 2022, and shared his own personal concerns about his acting performance. He said he felt that, at times, he "kind of fell under that spell" of concentrating on the way that he looked in certain shots rather than channeling all of his focus solely into playing the character.


"As soon as you start worrying about 'Do I look good in this shot?' acting becomes something other than playing a character," Holland told the publication. "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.' I had to play this very tough, very stoic guy basically, be Mark Wahlberg."He went on to say that the experience had taught him an "important lesson" about his attitude towards certain elements of the role. He admitted that, even though he is yet to see whether he successfully delivered Nate's big "action hero" moments, he would probably consider taking a different approach to the way in which he plays these types of characters in the future.

Arent actors supposed to wait until after the movie comes out to throw shade at it? This was supposedly what slowed down Shia Labeoufs career, when he said Crystal Skull was a bad film before it came out.

Kind of an over-exaggeration that's just an actor who is merely concerned about their own performance, which is common.

Isnt that what they do in the marvel movies as well? Lots of glory shots with the heroes with their masks off.

While I appreciate his ability to critique himself and grow as an actor, wtf are you doing Tom? Spidermans are very replaceable. Don't get thrown out of Hollywood pls.

Yeah that was my biggest takeaway too lol

What he said here just doesnt seem like an accurate reading of the character of Nathan Drake.

I still wish theyd just done an Old Drake movie with Nathan Fillion.

Disney cut Holland a lot of slack to run his mouth because Spider-man was bringing in the cash. But this kid is about to get a bitch slap of reality after that third movie wraps. You dont dog the film before it comes out.

I mean, Uncharted is a series that's heavily designed around those "cool moments" so that might not exactly be a bad thing.

Its not supposed to be something deep or anything, its supposed to be a crazy action romp that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Is this going to be one of those "gritty" movies where the lead actors (and cars for some reason) look Hollywood-perfect all of the time?

Idk what Shia did, but all Tom did was criticize himself and his own performance. He didn't bash the movie.

Even Uncharted 4 has its fair share of shenanigans. When you Rock climb your way out of a collapsing Bell Tower I'm kind of okay with it just looking cool.

This seems like a ridiculous thing to let out before the film is out, and I imagine once his star wanes a little and he doesn't make studios money simply by being in the film, they're gonna take some thinking time to consider whether they want to hire him at all.

Not really. Just looks like people looking for outrage.

Dude critiqued his own job performance and people twisting to act like he was bashing his employer or the movie.

He didn't bash the movie, the people who employed him or anyone else. He made criticism about himself and how he thought he made mistakes himself and wishes to do better in his next role. Criticism of yourself and wishing to do better next time isn't a bad thing....

Tom Holland is surrounded by yes-people like Fergie was surrounded by yes-men leading up to her American anthem disaster.

If Tom Holland keeps this up, he's going to be a nobody once he's done with the last spiderman

It's bad advertisement for a film when it's star is claiming that he don't think he did a good job in it. You don't have to literally say "the film is shit" for it to have an effect on the hype the studio would want to create for the product.

Also, yes, if the main actor in a film does a bad job, it negatively effects the film as a whole.
