Sometimes all you need is a good martini!

In an interview with Us Weekly at the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premiere, Bob Iger recalled what happened on his phone call with Tom Holland when the actor saved Marvel’s collaboration with Sony on the next Spider-Man film.

“Tom can call me drunk any day of the week,” the Disney CEO said. “As long as he calls me Bob!”

“I couldn’t tell if he was drunk, but I called him because I knew that he was upset and he wanted to talk to me about the status of Spider-Man,” Bob explained. “And at the time that I called him, he was at a pub in, I think, London with his family, and he said, ‘If it’s noisy, I just stepped out of a pub.'”

He added, “He sounded a little giddy, but I didn’t really make that connection until I read recently that he said he was a little bit drunk. But he was perfectly nice on the phone. We had a good conversation.”

As Bob said, it was Tom’s passion that sealed the deal!

“The reason I called him is I knew how important it was to him and I knew how important he was to us,” Bob said. “He asked to talk to me about it, to express how upset he was. And because of how much I cared about him, I called him. And he said, ‘Please, please.’ He [pleaded] with me. ‘Is there anything you can do? Just please, sir, please? Is there anything that you can do?’ I said, ‘Tom, I will try.’”

And try he did! Wow, what a class act. If it weren’t for that phone call, Tom wouldn’t have secured Spiderman 3. Thank God for pubs.
