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 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."
