"Spider-Man: No Way Home" star Tom Holland doesn’t want to be part of the Hollywood machine. 

In an interview on the "Jay Shetty Podcast," the actor explained his struggle to be a part of the business while maintaining his sense of self.

"I really am a massive fan of making movies, but I really do not like Hollywood. It is not for me," Holland said.

"The business really scares me. I understand that I’m a part of that business and I enjoy my kind of interactions with it, but that said, I am always looking for ways to kind of remove myself from it to kind of just live as normal a life as possible."

He continued, "I definitely think it has been an ongoing thought, which is ‘don’t lose yourself.’ I’ve seen so many people come before me and lose themselves, and I’ve had friends that I’ve grown up with that aren’t friends of mine anymore because they’ve lost themselves to this business, and I just am really, really keen to focus on what make me happy which is my family, my friends, my carpentry, my golf, the charity my mom runs, that is the stuff that makes me really happy and that is the stuff I should protect."

Holland has been acting since he was nine-years-old, and rose to international fame playing Spider-Man in the "Avengers" and "Spider-Man" films. 

In June, he announced he would be taking a break from Hollywood, which he says was planned after the completion of his AppleTV+ series "The Crowded Room."

His relationship with "Spider-Man" co-star Zendaya, has also been in the spotlight, but Holland says they both work to maintain their privacy and kept any relationship details to himself during the interview.

"My relationship is the thing I keep most sacred, I don’t talk about it. I try my best to keep it as private as possible. We both feel very strongly that that is the healthiest way for us to move on as a couple," he said. 

Holland added, "Like, you’ll never see me at an award show that I don’t have to be at. I’m never going to a red-carpet event that I’m not in the film of. I don’t want the attention when I don’t need it." 

‘SPIDER-MAN’ STAR TOM HOLLAND REACHES BREAKING POINT IN HOLLYWOOD: ‘TAKING A YEAR OFF’

The actor has made other life changes, including quitting drinking alcohol, explaining he’s been sober for about a year and a half.

After trying out "Dry January" and feeling the urge to drink, Holland realized "all I could think about was having a drink. All I could think about. I would wake up thinking about it. I was checking the clock, when’s it 12, and it just really scared me. I was just like, ‘Wow, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing.’"

Later in the interview, the London-born star said, "I was definitely addicted to alcohol," but found his life improved once he stopped drinking.

"Things that would go wrong on set that would normally set me off, I could take in my stride," he said. "I had such better mental clarity. I felt healthier. I felt fitter and I just sort of said to myself, ‘Why am I enslaved to this drink? Why am I so obsessed by the idea of having this drink?’"

"It’s honestly been the best thing I’ve ever done," he added of his decision to become sober.

Holland also decided to take a major step back from social media.

"I was becoming a problem. I was just obsessed with it, and I was obsessed to find out what people were saying and how people, what they thought about me. So I decided to make an announcement, which we unfortunately have to do, and say I’m taking a break from social media," he recalled. "And I tried to position myself and say I’m taking a break from social media because I feel like my mental health will benefit from it." 

The Trump-appointed prosecutor at the center of the federal investigation into Hunter Biden has been "all over the map" with his letters to Congress, and should go before lawmakers and speak under oath, an attorney for the IRS whistleblower told Fox News.

Mark Lytle – who represents IRS investigator Gary Shapley – said U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss' three letters to Congress have been contradictory and that he believes the prosecutor appears to be intentionally wording things carefully.

Lytle said his client, as well as the yet-anonymous IRS whistleblower "Mr. X," sat for at least 14 hours of combined testimony before Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., and the House Ways and Means Committee. Therefore, he argued, it should not be a stretch to ask Weiss – whom Shapley has appeared to contradict – to do the same.

"David Weiss has been all over the map. He's now sent three letters to Congress and each one of them contradicts the other ones," Lytle said Tuesday on "The Story."

"And it's time he comes forward and answers questions just like the whistleblowers had to withstand questioning."

Anchor Martha MacCallum reported Tuesday that Weiss had spoken out, via print, for the third time to essentially argue against Shapley's claims. 

Weiss said he did not ask the Justice Department for Special Counsel designation – which would have given him freer reign outside the First State – and that he was told he could bring charges in two other jurisdictions – the Central District of California and the District of Columbia.

In Monday's letter, Weiss said he has "never been denied the authority to bring charges in any jurisdiction," while the Justice Department has essentially echoed that sentiment overall.

Lytle said Weiss' initial letter to Congress suggested he had been granted ultimate prosecutorial authority, while the second letter asserted he wanted to expand his probe beyond Delaware.

HUNTER BIDEN IRS WHISTLEBLOWER'S ATTORNEY: DELAWARE PROSECUTOR MUST SPEAK OUT ON BLOCKED PROSECUTION

Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax code violations and to enter a diversion program as recompense for illegally possessing a firearm as a user of a controlled substance.

On "The Story," Lytle pointed out Attorney General Merrick Garland has signaled Weiss is not restricted from answering questions on the situation.

"I think it's time for David Weiss to come forward," he said. "It's David Weiss who says he's limited. And I think these letters show some scrutiny… they really contradict each other.

He said his client Shapley's testimony states that Weiss had sought out the Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matt Graves for approval to expand the Hunter Biden case there, but was denied.

"So now we're getting to a point where he's talking about going to talk to the other U.S. attorney, but he's not getting fully to the story. What really happened when he went and talked to [Graves]?" Lytle asked.

A similar situation reportedly played out in Los Angeles with the U.S. attorney's office there as well.

Lytle read from one of Weiss' missives, stating that "I've been assured that if necessary after the above process [engaging with Graves' office] I would be granted the authority."

"Well, that's not the same thing as ‘having been granted the authority’," Lytle said, adding that the entire situation paints a picture of the federal probe into the president's son being stymied or limited with every potential step that would turn it toward or reference President Biden.

Another piece of Shapley's testimony published in June by the House Oversight Committee alleged an assistant U.S. attorney in Weiss' office, Lesley Wolf, discouraged questioning about whether President Biden is "the big guy" in Hunter's correspondence with Chinese businessmen.

"AUSA Wolf interjected and said she did not want to ask about the big guy and... did not want to ask questions about 'dad','" the testimony, which appeared to reference the "Ten [percent] held by H for the big guy" message extrapolated upon several times by Hunter's former business partner Tony Bobulinski.

Tristan Leavitt, another attorney for the whistleblower, told "Fox & Friends" in late June, his client was also rebuffed from executing search warrants on the Bidens' Greenville, Del. estate, where, separately, classified documents were found stored near the president's Chevrolet Corvette.
