Who wouldn’t want a professional chef in the family? Tom Holland is clearly enjoying the perks of having a brother with serious culinary talent. The actor recently took to Instagram to promote brother Sam Holland’s latest venture.
Tom Holland’s brother Sam has launched his own cookbook
It’s always nice to see supportive siblings in Hollywood. And Tom Holland is obviously his brother’s biggest hype man. The actor recently shone the spotlight on Sam Holland’s new cookbook.
Tom, 29, shared an image with him holding the book on social media. He wrote: “Couldn’t be prouder of @samholland1999 for launching his first cook book. Let me tell you I’ve been smashing these recipes and it won’t disappoint. Well done mate. What a great achievement!”
Tom has had plenty of time to put Sam’s recipes to the test. He enlisted his brother’s services in 2019 during the filming of Spider Man 2. Speaking on the Jimmy Kimmel show, Tom said: “My brother Sam is training to be a chef right now. The studio was like, ‘Would you like a chef?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, but I’ll find my own one.’ And I got them to hire Sam, and he just basically lived at my house and cooked for us every day. It was amazing.”
The support obviously goes both ways. The cover of the book, entitled Sam Holland’s Kitchen Kickstart, has some sneaky product placement for Tom’s alcohol-free beer brand. Speaking to Tatler about his brother’s “Bero” line, Sam said: “When he told me he was launching a non-alcoholic beer… non-alcoholic beers didn’t really do it for me. And as a chef with a fairly decent palate, when it came to trying the beer, I was going to be very honest with Tom. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised with how bloody delicious they are.”
Tom is reported to have been on an alcohol-free journey for the past three years. His sobriety may have something to do with the affect it was having on his relationship. Sources claim the actor previously suffered from “ego and maturity issues“, which, understandably, didn’t go down well with Zendaya, according to reports.
