The White Lotus actor Tom Hollander shares when he received Tom Holland’s massive Avengers bonus by chance

Tom Hollander, known for his role in The White Lotus, disclosed on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers that his agency mistakenly sent him Tom Holland's payment for his performance in one of the Avengers films.

He shared, “It was a terrible moment. I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England for 300 pounds a week”. As he observed his friend's performance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of self-satisfaction, having recently wrapped up a BBC show that netted him 30 grand. He believed this financial windfall would carry him through the coming year or even longer, Hollander reflected.

An Email Alters the Script

Nevertheless, Hollander's perspective underwent a sudden shift when he glanced at his phone's email during the intermission of his friend's play. Staring back at him was a message from the agency, stating, ‘Payment Advice Slip’ which had the first box office bonus for The Avengers, Hollander revealed.

Tom Hollander's Unforeseen Encounter with Tom Holland's Bonus

The amount of money was truly staggering, the actor stressed. It wasn't Tom Holland's standard salary; instead, it constituted his initial box office bonus—the first installment, not the complete sum. This figure surpassed any amount Hollander had encountered before, reaching into seven figures. Consequently, the self-satisfaction that Hollander had felt during the first half [of his friend’s play] went away.

The actor went on to clarify that while he doesn't get mistaken for the Spider-Man actor on the street, the ongoing confusion caused by their similar last names persists.
