• The "Spider-Man" actor said he "can't wait to be a dad" because he loves kids.

Tom Holland told People that he wants to take a break from acting and "focus on starting a family."

Holland, known best for his role as Spider-Man, is set to star in "Uncharted," which comes out in theatres on February 18, 2022, and was recently cast as Fred Astaire in an untitled biopic about the famous American actor.

However, in an interview with People magazine to promote his latest movie "Spider-Man: No Way Home," Holland said that he wanted to focus on his personal life in the future.

"I've spent the last six years being so focused on my career," the "Spider-Man" actor said. "I want to take a break and focus on starting a family and figuring out what I want to do outside of this world."

Holland also told People that he would be a schoolteacher if he wasn't acting because of how much he wants to look after children.

He added: "I love kids. I can't wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can't wait! If I'm at a wedding or a party, I'm always at the kids' table hanging out. My dad's been such a great role model for me. I think I've got that from him. So I think I'd be a primary school teacher or something like that."

Holland is heavily rumored to be dating his "Spider-Man" co-star Zendaya after they were photographed kissing inside a car. Last month, Holland told GQ that the now-viral photos of them in the car left him and Zendaya feeling "robbed" of their privacy.

The pair have also been affectionately posting photos of each other on Instagram, most recently Zendaya posted a throwback photo of Holland on-set with the caption: "My Spider-Man, I'm so proud of you, some things never change and good thing."

The highly-anticipated movie "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which stars Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Benedict Cumberbatch, comes out in theatres tomorrow. Whilst Holland has spoken to GQ about moving on from his role as Spider-Man, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" producer Amy Pascal told Fandango that there will be another three movies with Holland as Spider-Man.

Holland also said in the interview with People that he wants to pass on the torch to a new actor to be Spider-Man.

"I don't want to be responsible for holding back the next young person that comes in who deserves it just as much so," the English actor said. "I would love to see a future of Spider-Man that's more diverse — maybe you have a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman. We've had three Spider-Mans in a row; we've all been the same. It'd be nice to see something different."
