I go snowboarding all the time.” Unfortunately, fame also brings unwanted attention. The actor commented on paparazzi camping outside his house and his relationships becoming tabloid fodder. Despite it all, Holland shared his recipe for dealing with fame’s pressures: maintaining a close-knit circle of those who know him for him.
