"Spider-Man" star Tom Holland says he regrets quitting dance classes, which he joined during his stint on "Billy Elliot the Musical" in 2008.

The actor, who played Michael in the musical based on the film of the same name, said he used to practice six hours a day while working on the theatre presentation for three years.

"When I was in Billy Elliot when I was a kid, I was dancing every day for about six hours for three years and I got to such a high level, and then I just gave up. I quit dancing.

"So I dance if I'm in a club, but I don't go to dance classes anymore. My biggest regret is giving up dancing," Holland said in response to an audience question on BBC Radio 1.

The 23-year-old actor added that tap dancing is his favourite type of dance.

Holland currently stars as superhero Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Sony Pictures movies.

His last release as the web-slinger was "Spider-Man: Far From Home".
