Sobriety Milestone and BERO Launch
In January 2022 Tom Holland quit drinking after a Dry January challenge revealed a growing dependence on alcohol. He extended abstinence through February and until his June birthday, later describing the period as the “happiest I’ve ever been.” In 2024 he launched BERO, a non-alcoholic beer brand that reflects his commitment to authenticity.
Background and Timeline
His decision followed a “very, very boozy December” and a month of constant thoughts about drinking, which he said “scared” him into a two-month trial that later became permanent. Holland credits sobriety for clearer thinking, reduced panic and greater confidence at work.
Key Figures and Partnerships
The BERO venture is overseen by Holland’s publicist Cara Tripicchio. Film collaborators include co-star Matt Damon and director Chris on *The Odyssey* and director Destin Daniel Cretton on *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. Event partners span Chase Sapphire Reserve, WME Sports, AD/Vantage, Vuori, NOX, HexClad and Aston Martin, with celebrity guests such as Zendaya, Jay Shetty, Steve Aoki, Simu Liu and Diplo.
BERO Padel Classic: Event Summary and Impact
The second-annual BERO Padel Classic in Los Angeles gathered professional padel players and A-list guests. Team Shandy—Elias Weiss-Friedman, Luis Estrada, Ligita Motiejauskaite, Logan Langberg, Hank Medina and Diego Leal—won the tournament and directed a $20,000 BERO donation and $5,000 from HexClad to a charity of their choice. The day featured Vuori active-wear, NOX gear, food from Ggiata, Wake N Late, Rocky’s Matcha, Chara and Barry’s Fuel Bar, and a photo of Zendaya holding a BERO can.
Official Statements
Holland said it would be unauthentic to sell a non-alcoholic product while drinking, tying BERO’s ethos to his sobriety. He described his press-tour approach as more personal and community-focused, noting charitable components accompany interviews. He credited Cara Tripicchio for managing a humongous schedule that balances promotion with privacy.
