During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Bernthal was asked about his experience working with Holland. His response touched on the long-standing connection between the two actors, which dates back many years.
“I’ve known him since he was 17,” Bernthal said. “At that age, I never saw somebody with that kind of drive, that kind of confidence, that kind of belief, while also being just deeply kind and good. I love seeing what’s become of him.”
He continued, “He’s a real movie star. I love his better half. I love that he’s in love; it makes me so happy that he’s found that. I know that what’s important to him, ultimately, is being a good man. He’s gonna be a great dad.”
A Shared History on Screen
For those who may not be familiar, Bernthal and Holland first worked together in the 2017 film Pilgrimage. In this movie, they played monks in 13th-century Ireland, showcasing their acting abilities in a historical setting.
Additionally, both actors have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Bernthal portrayed The Punisher/Frank Castle in the Daredevil series, while Holland plays Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, in the titular franchise. Their paths have crossed multiple times, highlighting their professional bond.
Tom Holland’s Thoughts on Fatherhood
In a 2021 interview with PEOPLE, Holland shared his feelings about becoming a parent. When asked what he would be if he weren’t an actor, he responded with enthusiasm.
“I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad—I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!” he said. “If I’m at a wedding or a party, I’m always at the kids’ table hanging out. My dad’s been such a great role model for me. I think I’ve got that from him. So I think I’d be a primary school teacher or something like that.”
