LOS ANGELES — “Spider-Man” star Tom Holland has tasted pumpkin seeds, but never actual pumpkin.
However, all that changed for the British actor during a recent Thanksgiving cooking lesson with “Avengers” co-director Joe Russo and chef Jessica Largey who introduced him to kabocha squash, a delicacy known as Japanese pumpkin.
The exclusive cooking lesson was held at Russo’s new restaurant called Simone in the arts district of downtown Los Angeles.
After the taste test, the 22-year-old Holland says “That was delicious. So, I’ll come back tomorrow.” The actor says he typically spends Thanksgivings in his native United Kingdom.
Holland’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home” is scheduled to release July 2019.
