During his episode on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’, Holland was talking about his upcoming movie. However, it didn’t take much time for the British Academy Film Award winner to turn things towards golf. Meyers brought up Holland’s well-renowned obsession with golf, which is also well-documented by various sources. The two talked about how much Holland loved golf. But things got even more interesting when the subject was eventually the 2021 Masters.

It turned out that being a Hollywood star himself, Holland is more fascinated after meeting his favorite athletes. “I meet actors all the time, so it’s something that I’m not that impressed by,” Holland said. “But if I meet athletes, mate, it blows me away,”. He mentioned an incident from the same day when he met English professional golfer, Ian Poulter.
