Spider-Man: Homecoming's Tom Holland Secretly Enrolled in a New York High School for Research

Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland recently did a Q&A on the official Spider-ManFacebook page to answer some questions from fans, and one of the most interesting things he revealed was the time he secretly enrolled in a New York City high school to prepare for his iconic role.

The 20-year-old British actor has never been in an American high school before so he wanted to experience what it's like so he can portray Peter Parker more accurately. While enrolled, he actually told a student that he is Spider-Man. Of course, the student didn't believe him. Check out the whole story here:

"The coolest thing I think I did for the movie was I was enrolled in a high school in New York, in the Bronx, as a secret. No one knew who I was or what I was doing. I had a fake name and a fake accent. I went to school for three days. It was really fun. It was really interesting because New York high schools are so different to schools that I went to in London. Where I went to a school where you have to wear a suit and tie and it's all boys, and for me it was the first time that I was in a classroom with girls. It was a really strange experience, it was really fun.

"I told one person. I told one kid at the school. I was like ‘Hey man, listen, I'm actually Spider-Man.' He did not believe me… At the time I hadn't made the movie, so I didn't have any pictures to show him to prove that I was Spider-Man…. No one believed me. Which is actually a good thing, because it makes me think that if Peter Parker went up in his school and was like ‘I'm Spider-Man,' everyone would be like ‘Nah dude, no you're not.'"

It sounds like he had fun playing the character and being a part of the American school. Based on what we've seen in the trailers, it looks like that research experience paid off.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is set to release in theaters on July 7, 2017.
