Tom Hollander, a British actor, is all too familiar with the difficulties that come with being the nearly-namesake of a highly successful fellow actor.

The actor from “The White Lotus” revealed that he was once sent Tom Holland’s first, enormous seven-figure box office bonus from “Avengers,” in an error that surpasses all errors.

“I feel like it’s almost the elephant in the room,” host Meyers said to Hollander on Monday’s episode of NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” Tom Holland is the nаme of an actor.

In response, Hollander said, “Oh yeah,” to a roar of amusement from the crowd.

“Do people ever make that error?” Meyers questioned.

Hollander said in jest, “Yeah.” It’s been really challenging. Since I was here first, you know. But he enjoys immense fаme.

Despite the fact that the two are not alike in appearance, Hollander claimed that she is frequently mistaken for him when speaking with utility companies or in other non-visual circumstances.

“What’s your nаme, too?” “Tom Holland?” they ask. “Because they’ve heard of Tom Holland,” Hollander remarked, before continuing, “You go, ‘no, it’s Tom Holland-er.'”

He went on, “Or I’m introduced to somebody’s really excited, then perplexed, then disappointed children.” “They sаy, ‘My kids can’t wait to meet you.'” “Are they though?” I ask.

Then, using the following example, Hollander explained what occurs when he requests the parent to bring out their kids: “They come out and they go, ‘Where is he? What is his location? They respond, “No. N-no.”

Hollander continued, remembering that the accounts department staff “became confused” when he was working for the same agency as the “Spider-Man” celebrity, a point he made care to strеss.

He claimed that after seeing a friend who was earning £300 (US$382) a week for theatrical work in England, Hollander sat “smugly” in the audience, having recently completed a BBC show for about £30,000 (US$38,000).

In contrast, Hollander said that during the intermission, he opened his email and saw, “Payment advice slip: your first box-office bonus for ‘The Avengers.'”

“I don’t think I’m in The Avengers,” I thought to myself. And the sum of money was astounding. Furthermore, it wasn’t his pay; rather, it was his first box office bonus—not the total—that he received. Additionally, it was a seven-figure quantity of money, more than I have ever received.

Holland was “20 or something,” he continued. As a result, the sense of smugness you may recall from the play’s opening act swiftly vanished. However, that is the entertainment industry. It is both up and down. It is zero, it is a hero.

In the second season of Hulu’s “Feud” anthology series, “Capote Vs. The Swans,” which premieres on January 31, Hollander plays Truman Capote.
