Sexy Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is definitely a household name — it’s just too bad that his paycheck for his role as the superhero/Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was sent to the wrong household.On Monday’s episode of “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” British actor Tom Hollander, who is known for his star turns in “Pride & Prejudice,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, “The White Lotus” and “The Night Manager,” revealed the humbling moment his agency mistakenly sent him an “Avengers” bonus meant for the 27-year-old currently dating Zendaya. “I went to see my friend who was doing theater in England for 300 pounds a week, you know, but doing great work, Chekhov, and I sat smugly in the audience having just done a BBC show for 30 grand or something which was, you know, going to get me through the next year or so,” Hollander explained. “And I was thinking, ‘Well this is marvelous.

I’m very prosperous, but my good friend Peter is doing this great play and I’m going to go afterwards and see him and slightly patronize him and say how wonderful it was.'”The night was going according to plan until the 56-year-old looked at his phone during intermission.“I thought I’d check my emails, and I got an email from the agency saying, ‘Payment advice slip: Your first box office bonus for ‘The Avengers,'” Hollander said. “And I thought, ‘I don’t think I’m in ‘The Avengers.'”To make matters even more uncomfortable for Hollander, he realized that he was being paid peanuts in comparison to his younger counterpart.“It was an astonishing amount of money,” Hollander marveled. “And it was not his salary, it was his first box office bonus.
