Tom Hollanddeveloped some mixology skills in preparation for his role as Nathan Drake inUncharted.
Holland, 25, appeared alongside costarMark Wahlbergon SiriusXM’sPop Culture Spotlight with Jessica Shaw, where he spoke about tending bar incognito.
“For me, one of my favorite things about what we do for a living is when you get the opportunity to learn a new skill for a reason, other than you just want to give it a go,” Holland said. “So I went to a bartending school. I ended up doing a few shifts at this bar in London, which was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. And it’s a nice little set piece in the movie.”
While Holland enjoyed his new undercover gig, he said it didn’t last for long.
“As word spread around town, and people started figuring out that ‘apparently Tom Holland’s bartending at this bar,’ then the general manager started figuring it out,” he said. “And then eventually I sort of got kicked out.”
Despite that, theSpider-Manstar said, “I have been back to the bar, but it’s a little bit of a rocky relationship at the minute. I’ve been giving them a lot of press though. So they just shut up and let me back.”

“I would go in there and take the bartender’s clothes and be in there undercover. It was fun. I enjoyed myself,” he continued, revealing his best drink. “I like making an espresso martini. It’s a lot of fun.”
