It says he was at a dinner the next night so likely will recover pretty quick.
HerFluffyCuteness2025-09-22 03:40
He had to leave early because of the effects of it.
He should be out for 14 days, but knowing him, he'll rush in before he's fully recovered.
xingrubicon2025-09-22 03:45
Yeah, judging by the article and some other comments, he seems to have a concussion since no one mentioned any visible injuries at the dinner.
The article said he posed for photos with Zendaya, and the flashes probably didn't feel great. Don't blame him for leaving early.
HerFluffyCuteness2025-09-22 03:47
Like and of course me saying he's gonna rush back is nothing against him, and has nothing to do with him inherently, it's his desire not to disappoint the rest of the cast and workers that will rush him back before he's ready.
Mickeyjj272025-09-22 04:07
So this didn’t just happened?
xingrubicon2025-09-22 04:09
Happened Friday if the article is to be believed.
youvelookedbetter2025-09-22 04:28
Nah, there are ebbs and flows to this kind of thing.
dwight_k_III2025-09-22 02:49
Are we sure this is real? The only places that have posted this aren't very reliable
fine__line2025-09-22 02:55
It's real. His charity event he was hosting was last night and he had to leave in the middle of it due to not feeling well and one of the guests posted that he had to leave because he'd suffered a concussion
shogi_x2025-09-22 03:28
IIRC nausea is a lingering effect of concussion so that would line up.
epic_reddit_dude2025-09-22 03:31
Well if he was going to a charity event after then at least we know he’ll survive right?
ZekeorSomething2025-09-22 03:18
The Hollywood Reporter have also [posted it](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/tom-holland-suffers-concussion-spider-man-set-1236377062/) and there pretty reliable.
dwight_k_III2025-09-22 03:21
Dang, yeah that's unfortunate. Hope he's alright
Opalescent_Owl2025-09-22 02:51
Reports seem to suggest that it is a concussion, hopefully not too bad of one
mongmich22025-09-22 02:54
The same article says tom was at a charity event the next night
Opalescent_Owl2025-09-22 02:58
the fact that he was still feeling it days afterwards doesn’t seem good, even if he was able to go

ShierAwesome2025-09-22 05:40
Pretty sure you got brain damage big bro
mondomonkey2025-09-22 05:43
A little bit, but nothing "permanent". It was classified as a "minor concussion", which im not sure how large their scope is for "minor" since i couldnt speak properly and i was blacking out lol
NorthernCobraChicken2025-09-22 06:13
That seems misdiagnosed.
ShareFit35972025-09-22 06:15
Post concussion syndrome can occur from relatively minor head injuries. Minor concussion sounds like not a big deal, but the reality is that any concussion of any magnitude is bad and can have lifelong consequences.
_c_o_2025-09-22 06:52
You’re wrong. Minor concussions can cause year long symptoms. Be safe and wear helmets
beggen52025-09-22 08:18

Some NFL Players miss a full Sunday-Sunday or Thursday-Sunday (10 days) gap following concussions, so yeah.
youvelookedbetter2025-09-22 04:26
Usually it takes weeks or months or years. Almost always longer than several days.
Sweaty-Building84092025-09-22 05:00
Yeah even if you're feeling okay you still need to rest and not do anything rash.

Kylynara2025-09-22 14:38
But Jackie Chan is different. He's a martial artist who acts. He has the expertise to do his stunts and a significantly smaller pool of stuntmen who could do the same thing.
Impressive-Potato2025-09-22 14:21
He does. Just because he does a stunt doesn't mean he doesn't have a whole bunch of stunt doubles.
Due_Log51212025-09-22 06:47
if he has a concussion he needs rest and no disturbances.
wallrunners2025-09-22 08:04
That’s not true, physical activity following a concussion is actually helpful as long as it’s not intense.
Crunchy-Leaf2025-09-22 08:34
Sources say he has forgotten Peter Parker
Ok-disaster20222025-09-22 02:55
Respectfully this is why I don't like stars doing their own stunts. He gets injured production stops and they have to rework the entire schedule around his recovery. That means people aren't getting paychecks, schedules are getting pushed back.
jr_randolph2025-09-22 03:02
Shit, a stunt double could die and they’ll just keep production rolling. Yeah…life goes on…but that’s still kinda bogus. People want to do their own stunts, more power to them and if they succeed only more leverage and money for them.
AverageAwndray2025-09-22 03:10
Its bogus yes but every stunt performer is well aware and prepared for that. It's exactly why they're there.
Sickpup8312025-09-22 03:12
But them wanting to their all of their own stunts takes money away from the professional stuntman who actually needs the money. A list celebrities don’t need to leverage more money from millions they are already making just to earn some cool points doing stunts.
ScuzzBuckster2025-09-22 03:22
I've always fallen back on what Danny Trejo says about doing stunts which is exactly what yall are saying. His philosophy is my ego to do my own stunts is not more important than people in the industry having jobs and consistent work. I have no doubt that people like Tom Holland or Tom Cruise who do all their own stunts have had a ton of safety training, but by virtue of them being the stars of the project, the liability for injury is *much much* higher and accidents do happen.
Impressive-Potato2025-09-22 03:59
They don't take money from the stunt doubles. The doubles will be the one prepping the stunt with the stunt team, will be on set with the actor and will do the stunts for extra takes and on the second unit.
OIlv32025-09-22 03:18
My guy thats literally the job description. Its like the secret service taking a bullet to save potus ...what is bogus about it? Dudes a hero and signed up for that job.
Moneyfrenzy2025-09-22 03:25
But if the lead of a film/show gets injured doing an unnecessary stunt, production could halt for weeks. This impacts the jobs/livelihoods of dozens if not hundreds of people working on the set.
Some people get paid regardless of if filming is delayed, but many people lower on the totem pole only get paid for time worked (caterers, cameramen, assistants, etc).
As Danny Trejo once said, "I don’t want to risk 80 peoples jobs just to say I got big nuts. I think a big star just sprained an ankle doing a stunt, and 80 or 180 people are out of a job. We have stunt people who do that stuff, and if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job."
Impressive-Potato2025-09-22 03:57
That's why stunts get the big bucks. They are paid to take the risks and they know they are expendable.
Dabochman2025-09-22 03:05
I wholeheartedly agree! Look at what happened with Dylan O’Brien. He wasn’t completely healthy for like a year after his accident.
Ayertsatz2025-09-22 03:12
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Dylan was still having some symptoms. His injury sounded pretty horrific.
ScuzzBuckster2025-09-22 03:23
I havent heard about this, what happened to Dylan O'Brien?
Ayertsatz2025-09-22 03:29
It was during the last Maze Runner movie. He was doing a stunt where he was climbing from a moving vehicle onto the back of a moving train.
From what I understand, he did the stunt perfectly. But then when they started slowing down, the truck slowed down faster than the train. He was harnessed to the truck, so he was yanked off the train, dragged along the ground and hit/run over.
He had facial fractures and a significant head injury, and was out of work for about a year. He's lucky he wasn't killed.
Duchess7212025-09-22 03:10
Aside from Tom Cruise (GOAT Stuntman).
papagoulash_2025-09-22 03:22
SpaceCaboose2025-09-22 03:28
He broke an ankle (or something similar to that) while filming Fallout, which stopped production for several weeks. There were lots of talks about having actors do stunts after that because of how much that injury cost the production.
Cruise is the producer though, and is, well, Tom Cruise, so was able to get away with continuing to do his stunts.
Impressive-Potato2025-09-22 04:00
He's not the goat stuntman.
He doesn't design the stunts and was never a stuntman. His stunts are very safe
KrypticJin2025-09-22 03:11
Soft
Eastern_Hornet_64322025-09-22 03:12
Doing SOME stunts makes sense. Certain sequences are more impactful for the audience when you can see the actors's faces as they do them. Sword fights, for example. But if actor's face is covered by a mask then yeah, there's no real point in not using a stunt double. Even if the actor never gets injured, he's still doing the stunt double out of a job.
__wasitacatisaw__2025-09-22 03:32
Theres some actors who enjoy the challenge of doing stunts, so they insists to do so.
Holland, Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, etc
Lord_Phoenix952025-09-22 03:38
I live the fact the reason Jackie Chan made his own film production was because a lot of companies don't want him to do his stunts because of how insane they were.
KarateKid9172025-09-22 04:12
Same reason Tom Cruise’s production company does the Mission Impossible movies and he’s a producer on him. Most companies would tell him no otherwise.
Hell, he fired the insurance company originally hired for Ghost Protocol when they said they wouldn’t insure his “scaling the Burj Kalifa” stunt, so he went and found one that would insure it
Hinote212025-09-22 03:35
>he's still doing the stunt double out of a job.
This makes no sense. The whole reason stunt doubles exist are because actors don't/won't/cant do the stunts. They have jobs because actors choose not to do the thing. You can't loop that around and say the double now doesn't have a job because an actor is choosing to do the thing. It's fine if they do them, it's fine if they don't. But no, by doing the thing they are not putting someone out of a job.
al0xx2025-09-22 03:45
how pedantic. ok, they’re taking a job opportunity away
DM_ME_FROG_MEMES2025-09-22 03:54
Are you taking a job opportunity away when you mow your own lawn? There should be less focus on jobs and more on increasing total net creation, which can then be redistributed as necessary
Qui-4342025-09-22 03:56
Tom literally landed the character way back when because he was spry and athletic enough to do his own stunts lol
Impressive-Potato2025-09-22 03:57
They aren't. Stunt doubles go through the stunts to prep them and they also do stunts on the second unit.
CloseToMyActualName2025-09-22 04:56
Mostly right, but even with a mask there's still the actor's physicality to replicate, which might not always match correctly.
It's ultimately risk vs reward, in this case the risk portion bit them.
Funny_Cartoonist78592025-09-22 05:27
His stunt double has been doing most of the stunts you've seen so far. He's not doing anyone out of a job. What are you talking about?
25sittinon25cents2025-09-22 03:14
Agree, they can totally use a double and cgi where necessary and pull it off. Being able to pull off dangerous stunts isn't a requirement to be a good actor
Alphasilverhawk2025-09-22 03:42
It’s kinda why studios are trying to switch to CGI for more intense stunts, so that actors and stunt doubles aren’t put in as much risk of getting hurt badly, or worse.
The downside ofc is that it may not look as good in the final product and the VFX team suffer a bit with long hours and last minute requests.
Impressive-Potato2025-09-22 03:56
Exactly. The issue is, people are so full of praise for actors doing their own stunts but this all comes with a cost.
Longjumping-Tell29952025-09-22 04:18
People usually get paid in some cases the budget might have to go up more especially during Covid and other actor’s getting injured on set and we all know Marvel will pay anyone who works for them except the VFX teams and the people who work in the comics.

I think an aging superhero could be interesting. Micheal Keaton did Batman not that long ago, for Flash. And he was the best thing about the film. Watchmen also had some superheroes putting their capes on after a long hiatus. I'm sure there are others I just can't think of them.
jhsounds2025-09-22 03:09
To enter a brand new day, one must turn off the dark.
Man, hope he’s ok. I am sure he’s prideful to a lot of his own stunts, but quick recovery!
OVO_ZORRO2025-09-22 04:09
Honestly this is why I think Actors shouldn’t do their own stunts. Should leave it to the trained professional stunt men. I think Machete for example had a quote that said he doesn’t want to take the job away from someone else and said he’s not getting any bonus points anyway for doing his own stunts.
CFL_lightbulb2025-09-22 04:15
Well he’s a gymnast so presumably he’d be fairly well suited. But I know what you mean
N3phari0uz2025-09-22 04:21
Sure, but if he gets seriously hurt, not only could he be giving the stunt team more work. But if he gets super hurt. The studio doesn't keep paying the crew during the time it takes for him to recover. Shutting down Production for something like that means everyone is now trying to find new jobs. That's not like just 100-200 people. Thousands of people were planning their next 3-8 months around a movie like this.
I have worked for studios, where some actor drops or back out. And watch 300+ get let go for stuff like this. Just keep him safe, he's still gonna make the transitions in and out of sounds look way better/more flexible, cause of his background. But we don't need to risk hundreds of millions in wages on some actor wanting to do a Flip.
CFL_lightbulb2025-09-22 04:55
No that’s why I know what you mean. Their faces have a lot riding on them. I was just pointing out that he actually is probably as trained as most, for what it’s worth. It’s also neat marketing that he is more agile like actual Spider-Man.
That doesn’t outweigh everyone’s jobs though
Funny_Cartoonist78592025-09-22 05:22
We don't even know what the stunt was. It could have been something simple that just went wrong. He's injured himself on half of his sets. His doubles have been doing the major stunts we've seen. It feels like people are catastrophizing based on very little information. Stuff happens. John Goodman just had an injury on the Cruise movie, and I seriously doubt he was doing flips.
LouSputhole942025-09-22 17:17
It’s also much easier for a 73 year old man of John Goodman’s size to get injured doing anything beyond a slow walk, but I get your point.
stretchyspaghetti2025-09-22 04:40
The beauty of actors doing their own stunts is movies don't get cut up to shit for takes where the body double has to fill in.
Think John wick, the choreography is so crisp and good because you don't have cuts every damn 5 seconds to showcase the body double doing the scene, because it's just Keanu doing the stunts with stuntman.
Meanwhile watch something like winter soldier where granted, the choreography is great, but the amount of cuts that are made is so jarring it's terrible to the eye.
OVO_ZORRO2025-09-22 05:18
Spider man wears a mask
stretchyspaghetti2025-09-22 05:19

bjwills72025-09-22 05:48
John wick is a great example, also makes me think of Jackie Chan movies. They wouldn't be the same with a stunt double.
GrapefruitSobe2025-09-22 07:43

Dibble_Dabble_Doo2025-09-22 04:47
Tom Cruise stunt double would disagree with this. He's getting paid to watch Tom Cruise do his work.
Funny_Cartoonist78592025-09-22 05:19
His double has already been doing most of the stunts people have seen. There comes a point where he's going to have to do some of this, his ability to do that part was a big part of why he was hired.
ChumleyEX2025-09-22 03:22
Hope he's ok.
yognautilus2025-09-22 03:23
This is why I'm torn on actors doing their own stunts. On the one hand, it seriously takes me out of the scene when directors have to cover for actors not doing *any* action scenes with constant cuts to hide faces and shaky cams. On the other, it does suck for a production to come to a screeching halt when a main actor gets injured. There should be a nice middle ground.
That said, I've always appreciated Holland's fight scenes way more than most MCU fights because he's involved with a lot of them.
ArtemisFowel2025-09-22 14:56
> constant cuts to hide faces and shaky cams
They don't really need to do that anymore especially for a large budget film. Head replacement is insanely common now. If a main actor isn't talking and they're in motion or not close to screen 8/10 times it's a body double with a face replacement.
Sad reality is that it's cheaper to pay over worked VFX artists than the insane salaries for A list actors. Every minute they can save not needing them on set is vital these days.
koinkydink2025-09-22 03:24
Respect for Tom Holland for doing his own stunts but sometimes you gotta leave it to the pros.
Hope he gets well soon.
packsmack2025-09-22 07:53
He.... is a pro though. Like, he's a stunt actor and an actor. You can be both.
RobertusesReddit2025-09-22 08:12
It wasn't about stunts. It was about a first-ever swinging crane that never existed but demanded because "CGI BAD" won and this was the risk we should have prepared for.
Other stunt doubles got injured a lot and the risk isn't worth something we already can do without.

I feel like Tom is the kind of guy to say, "I am okay let's continue filming", even though he likely will need a fair bit longer to safely recover from this. A concussion should be treated seriously. The fact that he went to an event within 24 hours of cracking his head does not bode well for his handling of this injury.
Commentaires
He should be out for 14 days, but knowing him, he'll rush in before he's fully recovered.
The article said he posed for photos with Zendaya, and the flashes probably didn't feel great. Don't blame him for leaving early.

You can't loop that around and say the double now doesn't have a job because an actor is choosing to do the thing. It's fine if they do them, it's fine if they don't. But no, by doing the thing they are not putting someone out of a job.
It's ultimately risk vs reward, in this case the risk portion bit them.
The downside ofc is that it may not look as good in the final product and the VFX team suffer a bit with long hours and last minute requests.

I have worked for studios, where some actor drops or back out. And watch 300+ get let go for stuff like this. Just keep him safe, he's still gonna make the transitions in and out of sounds look way better/more flexible, cause of his background. But we don't need to risk hundreds of millions in wages on some actor wanting to do a Flip.
That doesn’t outweigh everyone’s jobs though
Think John wick, the choreography is so crisp and good because you don't have cuts every damn 5 seconds to showcase the body double doing the scene, because it's just Keanu doing the stunts with stuntman.
Meanwhile watch something like winter soldier where granted, the choreography is great, but the amount of cuts that are made is so jarring it's terrible to the eye.
Tom Cruise stunt double would disagree with this. He's getting paid to watch Tom Cruise do his work.
That said, I've always appreciated Holland's fight scenes way more than most MCU fights because he's involved with a lot of them.
They don't really need to do that anymore especially for a large budget film. Head replacement is insanely common now. If a main actor isn't talking and they're in motion or not close to screen 8/10 times it's a body double with a face replacement.
Sad reality is that it's cheaper to pay over worked VFX artists than the insane salaries for A list actors. Every minute they can save not needing them on set is vital these days.
Hope he gets well soon.
Other stunt doubles got injured a lot and the risk isn't worth something we already can do without.
Hope Tom recovers well.
Wish him the best
