Tom Holland is an extremely private person and he prefers his personal life to stay that way. The actor is not really social and hates discussing his relationships in public. Yes, we agree that it's an integral part of his profession and you can say, he's getting used to it. But the Spider-Man: Homecoming actor was quite stressed out when his pictures with a mystery girl were leaked online recently. It was during that week when he realised that his life would be under constant surveillance and there's no way he can run away from it.

Tom in his recent interaction with GQ magazine, revealed how shocked he was with those turn of events and why he hates being under the spotlight. "I'm a very private person. If you do a Google search, I'm not a tabloid person. I don't like living in the spotlight. I'm quite good at only being in the spotlight when I need to be. Um, so…uh…it just was a bit of a shock to the system. It's the first time I've ever kind of been in the tabloids. It's the first time something like this has ever really happened to me. So it's a bit of a shock to the system," he said when asked to describe what was his immediate reaction.

The girl in question here is Olivia Bolton, who's a family friend of his. As per the report in The Sun, she hails from Britain and works for a digital production company in London. "Tom’s been dogged with rumours about who he’s dating so finally being public with Olivia has been a massive relief for him. All their friends and family think they make a lovely couple. He is totally smitten," a source said to the daily then. However, with the actor's recent revelation, "relief" doesn't seem like an ideal word.
