What I've learnt is that it's important to set boundaries - to be mindful about overworking." Euan Cherry / Getty Images "I've got a slightly busy next year, and then I'll probably take a bit more time off in 2027. We'll see," he told GQ. Euan Cherry / Getty Images This isn't the first time Tom's been forthcoming about his boundaries as a leading actor. In recent years, he spoke about taking a break from acting and social media and quitting drinking. "I'm never gonna drink again because this is the best version of myself."
