From talking about his first movie role to his non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero, Holland had a fun and long conversation with Roll. Amidst this, the host took the chance to know about the actor’s take on Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Doctor Doom.
Holland, infamous for his tendency to spoil big plot secrets, revealed that he and Downey Jr. were in contact.
