In a media interaction at the red carpet, Holland was asked how he managed to remain so humble as other young actors on the set consider him their role model. He replied, “It’s not something I actively try to do. I just love people, I love my castmates. I love that we have young actors stepping on the set for the first time. I remember what that was for me and I am so proud I got to be a part of it with them.” Further, he was told that his fellow cast members compared him to Tom Cruise. The actor exclaimed, “Wow. That's a compliment I will take that.”
