Having an extremely similar name to a Marvel star can lead to some costly mix-ups, as actor Tom Hollander learned firsthand.
The "White Lotus" star revealed on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" he once mistakenly received a large paycheck that was intended to go to Spider-Man actor Tom Holland. At the time, Hollander and Holland were with the same agency, and "people in the accounts department" confused them, he said.
"I got an email from the agency saying, 'Payment advice slip: Your first box office bonus for the 'Avengers,'" Hollander recalled. "And I thought, 'I don't think I'm in the 'Avengers.'"
The "Feud" actor was blown away by the "astonishing" size of the "seven-figure" paycheck, which he stressed wasn't even Holland's entire salary but simply his "first box office bonus" for the film.
In addition to his "Spider-Man" trilogy, Holland also starred in 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War" and 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," the latter of which is the second highest-grossing film of all time at the worldwide box office.
Hollander joked it has been "very difficult" to have a similar name as the "enormously famous" Spider-Man star, which leads people to mistake him for Holland "all the time," at least in "non-visual" contexts like when he's talking on the phone with utility companies.

"Or I'm introduced to somebody's very, very excited, then confused, then disappointed children, who they go, 'My children are so excited to meet you,'" he said. "And I go, 'Are they, though?'"
When he mistakenly received the "Avengers" bonus check, Hollander said he had just starred in a BBC show for "30 grand or something," an amount he felt good about before his "feeling of smugness" disappeared quickly upon seeing the Spider-Man actor's pay stub.

Hollander's not the only one in a similar position, as there's also another famous Tom Holland: the filmmaker who directed horror movies like "Fright Night" and "Child's Play." After "Spider-Man: Far From Home" hit theaters in 2019, the director Holland said on X, formerly Twitter, that he was being flooded with tweets about Spider-Man. And ahead of the release of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in 2021, Holland posted, "I think I'm about to get tagged in a lot of Spider-Man tweets."
