Core Event
On the July 23 episode of the YouTube series Hot Ones, Tom Holland appeared with co-star Jon Bernthal to promote *The Odyssey* and the upcoming Marvel film *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. While completing the show’s progressive wing challenge, Holland began coughing, bent over the set table and vomited. He laughed immediately, and Bernthal cheered, “Let’s go,” urging the crew to photograph the moment.

*Hot Ones* is a long-running interview program where celebrities eat increasingly spicy chicken wings while answering questions. The format has become a promotional staple for film releases. Prior to this episode, the show had an eight-year history with no guest vomiting on camera.
