2. After finishing his run in Billy Elliot the Musical in 2010, Holland landed his first film role alongside Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor in The Impossible, about a family caught in Thailand during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

3. He stars alongside Thor in Ron Howard's upcoming movie.


4. He had to go through “a series of complex screen tests” to land the part. (lol okay)

Sources tell me it came down to Holland and Charlie Rowe (Red Band Society). Both were asked to re- screen test.
