Tom Hollander Receives Tom Hollands ‘Avengers’ Bonus in a Mix-Up

In a humorous mix-up, British actor Tom Hollander, known for his role in “The White Lotus,” mistakenly received a notable ‘Avengers’ box office bonus intended for fellow actor Tom Holland.

This incident was shared by Hollander during his appearance on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

Tom Hollander humorously recounted how he was once sent Tom Holland’s first seven-figure ‘Avengers’ box office bonus due to their similar names.

This mix-up occurred when both actors were with the same agency, and the accounts department got confused. Hollander, who was not part of ‘The Avengers’ cast, was surprised to see the substantial amount in his inbox.

Hollander shared this story amid laughter from the audience, highlighting the frequent mix-ups due to their almost identical names.

He joked about the confusion he often faces, especially in non-visual contexts like phone calls with utility companies or when meeting children who expect to see Spider-Man actor Tom Holland.

Upon realizing the error, Hollander, who was feeling quite smug after doing a BBC show for a handsome fee, quickly understood that the bonus was not meant for him. This realization brought him back to the unpredictable nature of show business.

This amusing incident between Tom Hollander and Tom Holland showcases the lighter side of the entertainment industry, where mix-ups can lead to unexpected and humorous situations.

Hollander’s story on the talk show provided a delightful insight into the life of an actor navigating through fame and name confusion.
