Transcript

00:00Tom Holland, who has done something that a lot of celebrities have done, but his is different.

00:07He is in the booze business, sort of. The non-booze business.

00:10The non-booze business.

00:12Because a few years ago, Tom decided that he was going to go sober,

00:16and he has been sober since, I believe, 2022.

00:19I was during the, I thought it was the, well, maybe you're right, it was the 3rd of January

00:23that he did.

00:25And he has remained sober, and he has decided to get into that business.

00:30He has started his own line of non-alcoholic beer.

00:34We got him out yesterday at LAX, and he talked about that decision

00:38and how it continues to impact his life, and we're not talking financially.

00:43I see you came out with a non-alcoholic beer line.

00:47What inspired that?

00:49Well, I got sober, and I was looking for something that would scratch the itch,

00:55and I couldn't quite find what I was looking for, so I thought I'd start my own.

00:59What's your favourite flavour that you got?

01:02I like the IPA for me. The Edge Hill IPA is my favourite.

01:05It doesn't give you the itch to then have a real beer,

01:08or it just completely satisfies that craving?

01:10No, it totally scratches the itch for me, and it helps me feel a part of,

01:15you know, the social environment, the nightlife,

01:17being in a bar and not feeling left out, so it kind of works for me.

01:20That is so interesting.

01:21It's really remarkable. I mean, on the one hand, it's great for him,

01:25and that he's been able to maintain the sobriety.

01:27I also think there is a point of, he needed something, and he's fortunate enough

01:33and successful enough that he decided, you know what, it wasn't out there,

01:36so I'm going to start my own.

01:38And it's good for him.

01:39And what's so interesting about it is that there are so many people now,

01:42so many celebrities who are doing alcoholic beverages,

01:46and when you look at Gen Z, I've read an article about the statistics.

01:52They do not drink the way their elders drank.

01:55Yeah, no, it's much lower.

01:56And so he's tapping into an interesting market.

01:59Yeah, he is. Like you said, Gen Z doesn't drink as much.

02:01He is somebody that's kind of a role model and a peer for them.

02:04And it's interesting, too, I think for people who try to stop drinking

02:07or drink non-alcoholic beer, there's sort of a stigma with it,

02:10with older generations.

02:11Oh, you were an alcoholic.

02:12Tom Holland said, yeah, he had issues with drinking,

02:14like he was doing it too much.

02:15He enjoyed it too much.

02:17But it seems like he made a choice just not to do it for his health.

02:21And there's nothing wrong with that.

02:22So if you want to have an alcohol-free beer,

02:24so you feel like you're still being social and still hanging out,

02:26but not actually drinking, that's cool.

02:28Actually, there's a lot right with it.

02:30I mean, that's awesome.

02:31I mean, I actually really want to, now I want to taste it.

02:34Yeah, I want to taste it, too.

02:35It sounds, I mean, I'm interested in it.

02:37But also, you know, I don't remember hearing

02:40Tom Holland just having a conversation like this.

02:43That was so interesting to me.

02:45Charlie did a really good job.

02:47Yeah, really good job.

02:48You think it was the accent that pulled in, Tom?

02:50It was like, oh.

02:51I was wondering the same thing.

02:52I was wondering.

02:53A fellow royal subject.

02:55I was wondering exactly that.

02:58Big congratulations, Ivor, here from Toronto, Canada.

03:00Big congratulations to Tom Holland.

03:02I think it's fantastic that he's sharing that story

03:04about his sobriety and his journey.

03:07And now has gone forward and made his own beer.

03:09I think it's a really tough thing

03:10when you're battling addiction.

03:12And he said it himself.

03:13You know, he saw there was a need.

03:15It didn't quite scratch the itch.

03:16And he went forward and made something great.

03:18And now he's opened it up for celebrities

03:20who don't want to drink or people

03:22who want to be in those social situations

03:24and be able to actually share in the fun,

03:26to have that now through this beer with Barrow.

03:29Fantastic.

03:29Congratulations.

03:30Absolutely.

03:31More importantly than celebrities,

03:32is open it up to the rest of the world.

03:33And to the world, right.
