Hollywood star Tom Holland ("Spider-Man") says he needs a break after filming the drama series "The Crowded Room". "I'm no stranger to hard work," said the 27-year-old Brit to the US portal "Extra". "I really enjoyed it, but on the other hand, the series also broke me."

In between, he had to take a week off on the beach in Mexico, Holland explained. "And now I'm taking a year off."

The series, which Holland also helped produce, is based on a true case from the 1970s. The Brit plays a confused young man who is involved in a shootout and arrested. The shoot was definitely difficult for him, the actor emphasized. "We explored certain emotions that I've definitely never experienced before, and as a producer dealing with the day-to-day issues of a film set, it added an extra layer of pressure."

The ten-part mini-series "The Crowded Room", which also stars Amanda Seyfried, is scheduled to appear on the Apple TV streaming service from June 9th.
