In a move that proves his acting versatility knows no bounds, Tom Holland has shed his Spider-Man suit for a role that renders him completely unrecognisable. The British superstar is barely visible under a mountain of expertly applied prosthetic makeup for his part in the new LEGO short film, 'The Chase'.
Gone is the familiar, chiselled face of Peter Parker. In its place is an entirely new character, a time-travelling minifigure whose wild hair and exaggerated features are a world away from Holland's own. Behind-the-scenes photos reveal the incredible lengths the makeup team went to, meticulously applying pieces to his forehead, nose, and cheeks to completely alter his appearance.
The short film, a thrilling and comedic adventure, sees Holland's character embarking on a frantic chase through time alongside a colourful cast of LEGO characters. This foray into the brick-built universe showcases Holland's commitment to his craft, choosing character depth over leading-man looks.
This transformation is a testament to the incredible work of prosthetic artists and a bold choice for an A-list actor often associated with blockbuster hero roles. It highlights a growing trend in Hollywood where stars embrace drastic physical changes for more creative, animated projects.
Fans of Holland and LEGO alike are in for a treat, as 'The Chase' promises to deliver the witty, fast-paced humour and heart that both brands are famous for. The film is set to be a must-watch, offering a hilarious glimpse into a world where even the biggest stars can be rebuilt, one brick—or prosthetic—at a time.
