Tom Holland admits he sometimes had to promote movies he didn't think were very good.
The 30-year-old actor made the comments while appearing on the Dish from Waitrose podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett.
"When you really love a movie, it's easy to tell people to go and watch it because you're not lying," he began explaning.

"I've had times when people ask, 'Why should we watch this movie?' and in the back of my mind I'm thinking, 'You shouldn't because it's s***,'" Holland joked.
