He said, “I’m off eight months into my year. I chilled at home in London, went to Grand Prix, played golf.’
Starring in the dark thriller and also producing it was “difficult,” Tom recently admitted.
In an interview with ExtraTVTom said that after working on The Crowded Room, “I’m now taking a year off, and that’s a result of how hard this show was.”
He added, “I’m excited to see how it turns out, and I feel like our hard work hasn’t been in vain.”
However, fans took to the news as if Tom hadn’t started his year-long hiatus yet, when in fact he was.
Despite a rocky start with negative reviews, The Crowded Room now has a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Tom adding that he’s “so thankful” for the support.
In the AppleTV series, Tom plays Danny Sullivan, a young man who is arrested on suspicion of committing a chilling crime and slowly reveals details about his fragile psyche during interviews with an interrogator, played by Amanda.
“It was definitely a tough time,” Tom remembers his time on set. “You know, we were exploring certain emotions that I’ve definitely never experienced before, and on top of that, as a producer, dealing with the day-to-day issues that come with every movie set added that extra level. ‘

“But I really enjoyed it, I loved the learning curve of becoming a producer. I am no stranger to hard work, I have always lived by the idea that hard work is good work. And I really enjoyed it.’
“But then again, the show broke me. There came a time when I thought, ‘I need to get away from it all.’
The busy actor, who is in a long-term relationship with Zendaya, took a week off after finishing the project to “lay low” in Mexico, but now craves an extended period away from work.
It was announced that The Crowded Room, created by Akiva Goldsman, would be in development in 2021.
