Tom Holland admitted developing characters isn’t always easy with ADHD, dyslexia.

"I have ADHD and I'm dyslexic, and I find sometimes when someone gives me a blank canvas that it can be slightly intimidating. And sometimes you are met with those challenges when developing a character,” he told the outlet.

He revealed playing “really does help" him and vowed to “never” stop playing.

Tom went on to say, “Any way that you can, as a young person or as an adult, interact with something that forces you to be creative and forces you to think outside the box and make changes that might be in an instruction manual or might not be in an instruction manual just promotes healthy creativity."

“And I think that the more we do that sort of stuff, the better," he added.
