I Freeze When I Have To Read Out Loud – Tom Holland

Tom Holland and Zendaya

Hollywood actor Tom Holland has shared why he has never hosted Saturday Night Live. He recently had his say while speaking with SNL alum Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast, and fans have been reacting.

Explaining why he has always turned down offers to host the live sketch comedy show, Tom said that being dyslexic is the major reason why he cannot accept the role.

Holland added that he constantly suffers from a mental block whenever he has to read out loud.

His words, “I’m heavily dyslexic, which is one of the reasons why — and I’d love to talk to you today about it, actually, — is why I’ve never done SNL.

I’m just so petrified at the concept of, like, trying to read something and they change. It’s just that, like, for me, I can read fine. But when I have to read out loud, it just becomes, like, a kind… It’s, like, a mental block. And I can freeze.

I will really try and highlight everything and learn my lines ahead of time. So that I’m more kind of skimming it than I am reading.

I’ve been really lucky that they’ve asked me a few times to do it, and the truth is that I’m actually just really scared at the prospect of… I love the show, and I love the idea of having fun and making a fool of yourself in such a fun, creative way. It’s just that thing of the cue cards.”

WOW.

The cinema of the United States, consisting mainly of major film studios (also known metonymously as Hollywood) along with some independent films, has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century.

The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1910 to 1962 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

Hollywood is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the place where the earliest film studios and production companies emerged. It is the birthplace of various genres of cinema —among them comedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.

Many of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movies have generated more box-office revenue and ticket sales outside the United States than films made elsewhere. The United States is a leading pioneer in motion picture engineering and technology.
