Tom Holland has to use lube to get out of his Spider-Man costume

Tom Holland has to go through quite the process to transform from Peter Parker/Spider-Man back into Tom Holland.

"In the Spider-Man suit, because the thing is so tight, the zip sometimes gets stuck," the 25-year-old actor explained on Late Night with Seth Meyers. "And it's a nightmare. I'll have, like, half of it off, and I'm like, 'Please just get this thing off of me.' And we have a bottle of lube that we squirt on the zips to get it open and stuff."

Holland then described two instances in particular where he used to lube to prank people on the set:

"Mitch Bell was there. Mitch Bell is one of our big Marvel producers. He's in charge of the money, so you know, a COVID shutdown for him is a very serious thing, and he's taking it very seriously. And this bottle of lube does suspiciously look like a bottle of hand sanitizer. So, he walks over and he's chatting to me, and he's like, 'Hey, man, can I get some of that hand sanitizer?' I look at my brother, Harry, and I'm like, 'This is about to be golden.' I'm squeezing all the stuff on him. I'm squeezing it, squeezing it, squeezing it, and he walks off. You can see him on set like, 'This goddamn hand sanitizer won't go!' 

"And then the best thing, at the end of the day, the same thing happened with the boom op. He's doing a scene, and I can see him like this. He's like, 'I can't hold on to the boom! It just slipping everywhere!' I promise that's the only two times we did it, though."

Spider-Man: No Way Home is due exclusively in theaters next Friday (Dec. 17) and marks Holland's third installment in director Jon Watts' Spider-Man trilogy for Sony dating back to 2017. Watch the official trailer as well as clips from Holland's chat with Meyers below.
