Spider-Man actor Tom Holland was told to keep his feet firmly on the ground, but he's doing quite the opposite in these behind-the-scenes images.

The 20-year-old actor was spotted on the set of upcoming blockbuster Spider-Man: Homecoming as he filmed on the top of a double decker bus in front of Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany.

The former Billy Elliot actor and dancer looked confident as the camera rolled and he acted out the dangerous scene, surrounded by security and stunt advisors.

In between takes Tom put on a thick jacket to protect him from the cold, but he stayed in character keeping the famous Spider-Man mask on throughout.

The action sequence may have looked dangerous and daring, but Tom was safely strapped in from the waist by at least four support cables.

Spider-Man Homecoming is the latest in an army of Marvel movies and the reboot is sure to make Tom one of the biggest young stars in Hollywood, but the Brit is keeping his feet on the ground by employing his best friend Harrison Osterfield as his assistant.

Referring to a fellow Superhero actor, Tom said: “Chris Hemsworth gave me some great advice.

“Once I got cast he sent me a really lovely email about just make sure you keep your feet on the ground and you don’t let this affect you.

“You keep your family and your friends close and that’s exactly what I’ve done.

“That is why I have brought my best friend with me as my assistant - that is Harrison.

“He is my best buddy really, but don’t tell Marvel.”

Harrison Osterfield and Tom have been friends since they were kids and online videos show them slapping each other with mackerel they caught fishing as youngsters

A source said: “Film bosses didn’t want him to get lonely or stressed in the role so having Harrison alongside Tom seemed a good idea.”
