Tom Holland Speaks Out After Sustaining Head Injury on Spider-Man Set

by

Tom Holland is swinging back to health.

After experiencing a minor concussion while filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Glasgow, Scotland-the fourth film in the Spider-Man series-the 29-year-old actor provided a health update. He shared this while discussing a fundraising event for his charity, The Brothers Trust, which was held in London.

Tom explained on Instagram on September 27th that he had to leave the fundraiser early, but he’s now feeling much better. He gave a special shout-out to his dad for stepping in to take over, joking that the event became even funnier afterward.

Tom’s parents, brothers Sam, Harry, and Paddy Holland, his fiancé Zendaya, and their fellow actor Jacob Batalon were all at the event, which happened just after Tom suffered an injury on September 19th.

Tom Holland had to take a short break from filming the new *Spider-Man* movie after a concussion, but he’s thrilled to be back. The film will also feature Sadie Sink from *Stranger Things* and Liza Colón-Zayas from *The Bear*. He’s especially excited to return, as the previous movie had some restrictions.

He described playing Spider-Man as being like spending time with a close friend. In an interview with Flip Your Wig in July, he explained that the last movie felt limited due to Covid restrictions, as they filmed the whole thing on sound stages.

We’re going back to traditional filmmaking methods and shooting on location, starting in Glasgow. We’ll be using the city’s streets as the backdrop for a large-scale scene, aiming for the same feel as the original *Spider-Man* movie.

Tom Holland is used to playing Spider-Man, but he’s said this latest movie feels different and particularly exciting.

He shared in a behind-the-scenes video posted to the movie’s Instagram last month that putting on the suit felt different this time. He also mentioned it was the first time they’d ever had fans present on the first day of filming, which made the experience especially exciting to share with them.

He mentioned seeing a lot of people he knew while filming, and said he was going to try his best and hoped everything went well, despite feeling a little pressure.

Nikki Bella, known from *Total Bellas*, shared that one of her breast implants moved after being hit in the chest by Piper Niven during a wrestling match in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, that they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitments – implying after her divorce was finalized – she would return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best, anticipating future use and wanting it to be presentable.

Lupita Nyong’o received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids-non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus-in 2014, the year she won an Academy Award for her acting role in *12 Years a Slave*.

She didn’t share her diagnosis until 2025, when she revealed on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with it for over ten years.

She explained that many girls are taught to accept period pain as a normal part of being a woman, leaving them to deal with it privately and feeling isolated. It’s something that impacts a lot of us, yet we often struggle with it on our own.

 

In July 2025, the actress from *Daisy Jones & The Six* revealed she was hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she’d been wearing pants that were too tight, which caused a gap to form in her abdominal muscles.

Someone messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter) asking why she hadn’t tweeted in a while. Suki jokingly replied that she’d been hiding a serious injury – a hernia caused by wearing extremely tight pants six months ago – and was afraid to mention it.

The former star of *Beverly Hills, 90210* shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery for a nearly ruptured appendix.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained that his appendix had a hole in it – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

During a soccer game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle, a midfielder for Racing Louisville collapsed after only a few minutes of play.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, before suddenly collapsing. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

After receiving initial medical attention on the field, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests, the National Women’s Soccer League announced on X. They reported that she is currently in stable condition and is alert.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from a cement truck accident he experienced at age 11 still cause him problems now.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine shared on the *In Depth With Graham Bensinger* podcast in 2025. “I’ve been experiencing spasms all over my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation-within the past year, actually.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying, “My body has a few quirks and isn’t quite working as it should.”

A former contestant on *The Bachelor* had to be hospitalized after experiencing severe back pain. He described having to crawl to get help, and said the pain worsened during a recent RV trip with a friend.

He described a strange tingling sensation that still lingered in his legs as of March 2025, sharing this on his *Trading Secrets* podcast. He explained that just a few weeks prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds, but now he couldn’t even do a single squat without falling over. He said it felt like he’d had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter, from *The Real Housewives of Orange County*, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is now doing okay.

In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

The comedian later posted on social media to explain he’d actually gotten food poisoning and was starting to feel better.

In February 2025, the former *Even Stevens* star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a trip to go clay pigeon shooting when the incident occurred.

According to her Instagram post, she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a gun unsafely. She said @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her and took her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet narrowly missed her right eye, coming within an inch of hitting her directly.

The *Kim Possible* actor explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind their eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, but they’re keeping a close watch on the situation. Thankfully, their vision is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving a frightening experience. She shared how much she cherishes her daughters, husband, family, and friends, explaining that she realized how quickly life can change. She urged everyone to embrace their loved ones, saying, ‘Hug the people around you – you never know what tomorrow may bring.’

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its often negative side, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier” during interviews, she was surprised to see doctors commenting online, concerned about her appearance and suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome. This led her to realize the condition could be linked to steroid injections she’d received after a breast reduction and C-section. Schumer explained she wouldn’t have known about the condition without the online comments. Thankfully, doctors determined she had a form of Cushing syndrome that would resolve on its own, which she called “the greatest news imaginable.” She shared this relief in a February 2024 newsletter, happy to be healthy.

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player was accidentally cut in the face by another player’s skate and needed 25 stitches to close the wound. After his son made a full recovery, New Jersey Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald shared with ESPN how relieved they were, saying, “We feel very lucky, and I wouldn’t want any parent to go through that.”

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly developed stroke-like symptoms, initially unable to respond when Justin asked if she was okay. She then found she couldn’t speak and the right side of her face began to droop.

Although the symptoms eventually passed, Hailey went to the hospital where scans revealed she’d had a small blood clot in her brain, which doctors identified as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).

Further testing at UCLA uncovered a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Doctors determined the blood clot had traveled to her heart, passed through the PFO, and reached her brain, causing the TIA.

Hailey successfully underwent a procedure to close the PFO and is now doing well.

It was a really tough year for both Justin and Hailey. Not long after Hailey’s health scare, Justin revealed he was battling Ramsay Hunt syndrome. He shared a video explaining how it caused paralysis on one side of his face – he couldn’t blink, smile, or even move his nostril on that side. He even said it was becoming difficult to eat. It was so scary to see! Thankfully, after a while, the paralysis started to go away. Hailey later appeared on *Good Morning America* and said he was doing really well and feeling much better. It was such a random and frightening thing to happen, but I’m just so relieved he’s okay.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had previously kept private. He explained that while in Atlanta, he suffered a severe headache and asked for aspirin. Before he could take it, he lost consciousness and doesn’t remember the next twenty days.

Initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, became concerned and took him to the hospital. There, doctors discovered he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

After surgery, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair on May 4th, unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for the prayers he received, saying he needed every single one.

The reality TV star said she temporarily stopped breathing while running a mile during the first challenge on the NBC show.

She shared on the show *Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser* that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, she remembered only darkness, followed by light, leading her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where your body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in *Game of Thrones*, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for *The New Yorker*. While filming the series, she experienced a sudden, severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and being violently ill, quickly realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage – a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain – resulting from a ruptured aneurysm. She immediately underwent surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia, leaving her unable to speak coherently.

After a week, her speech returned, and she was discharged from the hospital after a month. However, a scan in 2013 revealed the aneurysm had grown and required a second surgery. This surgery was unsuccessful, leading to a massive bleed and a dire prognosis. Doctors had to perform a more invasive procedure, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia reports that she has now made a full recovery and is doing well.

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, is thankful for the support of her family. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and her loved ones immediately came to her aid. She told TopMob News reporter Will Marfuggi in December 2024 that they “just came to my rescue.”

Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues. While she could have gone home after the stroke, she was also dealing with lupus and kidney problems.

Today, Cori is recovering well. She says she’s “doing great” and is regaining her motor skills, but otherwise feels fine.

Shailene Woodley struggled with significant health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she explained that she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue – unable to walk for more than five minutes without needing to rest for hours – and persistent stomach pain. She faced a confusing array of diagnoses and conflicting advice from different doctors.

Determined to find answers, Woodley, who has kept her specific condition private, combined traditional medical care with holistic and herbal remedies. This search for well-being spanned a decade.

She explained that the physical discomfort led to deeper issues, including fear of food and struggles with body image, identity, and feeling safe in her own body.

Ultimately, Woodley’s health improved, and she is now happy to report that she is very healthy and the issues have resolved themselves.
