so...i know we talked about taking things...slow or seeing where things..go. not sure if this counts as that, and i know you have insanity happening all month. but...would you..maybe want to come see me on set? i'm basically going all around the united kingdom...for filming, though mostly scotland. @thollandfms

We did, yes. That was the general vibe I got from what we talked about. Think that falls into the realm of reasonable without making it - I don't even know, but I don't think it's a bad idea. Especially if you're going to be filming around in the UK. Plus I do love Scotland, I may have some free time coming up for a few days or so then will be back in the thick of it till end of July then a lot more time in August. Depends on what works for you best.

i have noticed that about you. i know i sort of live on it, but it's for work too! you really are so busy and can't seem to avoid having your face everywhere. though i imagine that the chaos will calm down. private is! you're talking to the woman who hid a pregnancy till her sixth month. i can understand wanting to take that step back if you ever reach that point. it's what i did! marvel learned it's lesson, i guess? though i have loved seeing you with robert doing the press! you are and that's what should count! that's insanity to think about, and i remember hearing people be so excited when you were cast for the first since age approriate for peter parker.

Social media is just something I've never really enjoyed. Get that it's part of my work and job, for sure, but that's why I use it to post about the movies I'm doing or things important to me but tend to keep it at that. Yeah, only a matter of time before people get sick of my face and are begging for me to go away! Think that's normal to want to hide a pregnancy, if I was with someone who got pregnant I would want to be able to keep that under wraps as long as humanly possible with how people are. Do you wish you could have kept it hidden longer or was that kind of the goal, get to six months? Robert does seem to end up with me a lot in press and I don't mind. He's an amazing actor and I've learned a lot from him. Then again any time you put two British blokes together we're bound to end up together. It'll be weird passing the torch on but think like anything the next will be just as exciting.

not nearly as fun, thomas! i'm afraid i'm going to end up reminding you of your mum when she scolds you. does she still scold you? listen, if you insist on a carrier piegon, you are going to have to train the thing! it probably got hit by a power line and is down for the count. i was probably filming! i am busy too, you know! not quite your level, but still. do that! or you know..use that tiny little device that i'm sure you carry around. it does seem like you are everywhere right now, so i wouldn't be surprised. traveling can be a bit much, i have no idea how you are upright. i still say i'm going to blame you because that's just fun. i'm glad you appreciate it!

Excuse me, don't go bringing my mum into this Ella Purnell. She doesn't still scold me! I'm a grown man for heaven's sake. I mean can't I get a carrier pigeon who is already trained? I don't know how to train a bird. That isn't in my wheelhouse of expertise. Wow, hit by a power line you just want to kill off my bird?! That's cruel! Find next time smoke signals. Good luck. Tiny device I carry around... hmm.. you're going to have to elaborate a bit more on that. Traveling is a bit daunting but I love the people I get to see and how excited they are for the films. Even if it feels incredibly overwhelming at times. When I got to India we were mobbed and attempting to get out through the flooded streets was... a whole thing.

Exactly! I’m gonna give it a go! At this rate I’ll be doing karaoke with some of the coolest people ever haha oh no, I’m not the faint worthy type of person so please explain that to your brother haha okay, can we talk about that please?! Because that shit lived rent free in my mind for months when I saw it for the first time. Jaw dropped with your talent. Like I knew you could act but when you pulled out all those dance moves?! I won’t lie, I ended up going down a rabbit hole with your whole dance background. Literally the fucking coolest shit.

Most people who like to do karaoke is pretty awesome. My brother still might, he's never really gotten used to people that he has gotten to come across that I've met. He becomes a bit weird and awkward, it's amusing for me though. Look if there's one thing I've been taught from my parents, and through life in general, you don't do anything half-assed. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it all out and that's exactly what I did with the performance. Though yes, I did take dance for many years starting at nine. Knew I wanted to be in theatre, and so much of that requires dance experience depending on the role, which meant I had to give it a go. Did pretty well at it. I'm currently gearing back up for dance rehersals since I signed on to do a biopic about Fred Astaire.

Oh yeah! You are quite busy with press at the moment. I'm pretty excited for both movies, by the way. I will have a good amount a free time in August before tour starts up. I have a few shows in July, so I could work around those, too, if you want to go sooner rather than later.

Yes! Been back and forth through Europe far more times in the last three weeks than I could have imagined. Feel like I'm living in a circle of rinse, repeat. August is good actually, that'll get me past both of the actual releases of both movies and should have down time before I'm working again. Let's aim for August sometime.

thats good that you haven't had to deal with people crossing the line, that much? most of the time? what happens the other part of the time? exactly and it's a good way to view things! i do think that it's good to be private. you and i have that in common. i think private is healthier! that's true. marvel has learned? that's something! i know i've seen you joke about it. yet is the key word! it's been a decade? oh my god, how did i not realize that?

No, not that much. It happens, sure, but I'm not someone that is so active on social media or seen a ton out and about that I've had to worry. It kicks up the most like now, with the fact that I'm doing press for two movies back to back, they splash my face everywhere so it makes it more complicated. Private is healthier, no one should get a say on personal things. It's a big reason should I ever have children I want to take a bit of a step back. I won't fully leave but just spend time in that aspect of my life when it happens, if it happens. Marvel gets it. They know that unless I'm flanked by specific people than something might slip. I'm actively trying! A whole decade of my life, and think they're less worried now because they'll be passing that along.

it gets thrown out there because i knew it would get your attention! plus i already said it's been forever since i've heard from you. that warrants it! well, why didn't you train it better? i am going with it got lost, because me? rude? never. i knew it! so what happens after press wraps for odyssey? are you finally going to get some rest? yes! i was curious when i heard about it, so decided to give it a try. it sounds like things are going good for you, mate. i'm proud of you too, even if you are horrible at keeping in touch.

Other ways to get my attention, Ells. Without having to throw my whole name out there. Feels borderline mean! It's not my job to train the carrier pigeon, it's supposed to know what to do. Refused to feed him and he got hungry and said fuck it, I'm out of here. Seems like maybe you didn't look out for a poor helpless creature just trying to keep communication between us going. Next time I'll use bloody smoke signals, hope you've brushed up on that. Honestly, not sure. Haven't heard if they'll bring us in for more press when SpiderMan officially releases, they've done that before and that's in a good handful of weeks. At this point I'm attempting to just take it easy when I can because I'm feeling a bit exhausted with all the traveling. I still say this isn't all on me, but I appreciate you being proud regardless.

Well if it isn't one of my favorite people ever. I've been watching you and Zendaya take over the world with Spider-Man and now Odyssey and I couldn't be prouder. How have you been lately? @thollandfms

One of your favorite people?! How did I gain such an honor? Actually no, you don't even have to tell me, I want to just accept it and keep such title. Yeah, we've both been busy with these projects but I'll admit it'll be nice for down time, though I'll be back at it before I know it. Traveling a lot, feel like I live out of a suitcase more than anything. How've you been?
