Yes, Tom Holland Wore a Thong in 'Spider-Man' and No, He Was Not Pleased
Actual sentence: "I had serious misgivings—would my arsehole ever be the same again?"

First of all, Spider-Man is the best superhero movie of the year (other than Wonder Woman OBVIOUSLY), and Tom Holland is absolutely perfect in it. He also spent most of the movie in a skin-tight Spidey suit, which involved him wearing a thong.
"The first thing you need to know, all I have on under that costume is a thong. They brought them in on my first day, like, 'Here are your thongs,'" Holland recently mused. "I had serious misgivings—would my arsehole ever be the same again? But I had to get used to it. Even though I was thinking no way, no way!"
Excuse us while we take a moment to 😳 and watch the Spider-Man trailer.
"You have to completely disrobe and then put a dressing gown on, but they're very comfy ones, you can't walk around in just a thong, can you imagine?" Holland continued, due to having many, many, many thoughts about his thong. "And then you race across the lot to the toilet, then come back, get back into it—it's such a mission."
This is amazing, but also Tom Holland, calm down—it's just a thong.
