Tom Holland has branded sobriety ‘the toughest challenge’ and revealed he would ‘drink his entire hotel minibar in one night’ at the height of his addiction.
Admitting he ‘couldn’t put alcohol down’ as he detailed his secret struggles with alcohol, he has now started his own premium non-alcoholic beer brand.
The Spider-Man actor, 30, told GQ he would go to work the day after his minibar binges and admitted no one knew what was going on.
He said: ‘I had my times, but I wasn’t necessarily the nightclub-going person as much as I could sit at home in my hotel room and finish a minibar and go to work the next day.
‘So my version of wild was very, I guess, un-Hollywood. I was always pretty sensible. I just drank too much.’
But something had to give he said on the Good Hang podcast, with Tom admitting he realised he ‘had a problem.’

He said: ‘It was affecting my professional life. It was affecting my personal life and my health. So, I decided to pack it in. And I got through that first year, which I think was the toughest challenge that I’ve ever been on’ (pictured celebrating his alcohol free brand, Bero)
He said: ‘It was affecting my professional life. It was affecting my personal life and my health. So, I decided to pack it in. And I got through that first year, which I think was the toughest challenge that I’ve ever been on.
Back in 2023, Tom said it got to the point where all he could ‘think about was having a drink’ and it ‘really scared’ him and he felt ‘enslaved’ to the drink.
After attempting Dry January in 2022, the actor decided to go completely sober.
He said: ‘I noticed there were limited options for people like me that were looking for something that would scratch that itch, that would help you go to the bar and be a part of the social experience but not feel like the only person with a lemonade.
So he launched his own non-alcoholic beer brand called Bero in 2024.
His new range of shandies are 70 per cent lemonade and 30 per cent Bero, Holland’s non-alcoholic beer mix.
His ‘wife’, Euphoria star Zendaya, 29, has ‘never been a drinker’ and she has fully supported the star.

He said: ‘Z has never drank. She’s never been a drinker… which means she never found the taste for beer.
She’s incredibly proud of Bero, it’s just there is a missing link of she doesn’t enjoy the stuff that I’m trying to sell.
‘The idea behind the shandies was to create something authentic at the company that Z could enjoy.’
He also said how his partner is ‘fearless’ as an actress.
He said: ‘I think she’s the best actor going. I really think she has something special.’
‘I couldn’t imagine doing what I do without her.’
