All the accents from the UK and southern Ireland are made up. Australia and New Zealand are also faking it.

How do I know this? Tom Holland has done so many characters without that speech impairment that he lost it.

So now the "accent" he speaks with in interviews is fake now.

Side question: how old is Tom Holland going to have to be, before I can look at him and see something other than a fetus?

He just looks too young to be anything. He comes on screen, talking about adult problems that his character is having, and I just can't make myself take it seriously. My brain just goes "THIS IS A CHILD. THIS IS A CHILD. THIS IS A CHILD. THIS IS A CHILD," and I can't pay attention to anything that's going on in the movie.

Everyone else goes on about what a great actor he is, but I wasn't able to concentrate on any of that. I was just unable to notice anything apart from how he looks like a child.

Is it just something about his face? Is he going to look like that, all his life? Am I alone in this situation?

For what it's worth, Timothée Chalamet has the exact same problem, in my brain. In fact, I'm sure I would get a bunch of their roles confused between the two of them, if I went to write them down without googling anything.
