Tom Holland‘s spidey senses are telling him to steer clear of Studio 8H.
In fact, the Spider-Man star revealed there’s basically zero chance he’d ever host Saturday Night Live—and he has a very valid reason for turning down the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“I’m heavily dyslexic,” Tom told SNL alum Amy Poehler on the June 2 episode of her Good Hang podcast, noting that the learning disability—which affects reading and spelling—is the main reason he’s “never done SNL.”
A surprised Amy replied, “Because of the cue cards?” to which Tom confirmed, “I’m so petrified at the concept of trying to read something and then they change [it].”
“For me, I can read fine,” the 30-year-old went on to explain, “but when I have to read out loud, it just becomes like a kind of—it’s like a mental block—and I can freeze.”
Turns out, the thought of hosting NBC’s longstanding live sketch comedy show—which returns for season 52 later this year—is so daunting, Tom’s already turned down Lorne Michaels‘ offer multiple times.
