Tom Holland's new shaved appearance is polarizing for fans, but the actor said that he's a fan of the look.

"I really like it," the "Spider-Man: Far From Home" star said during a panel with costar Jake Gyllenhaal at ACE Comic Con in Rosemont, Illinois on Saturday. "I don't know about you, but I really, really like it. It's so much easier to manage. Quick towel dry and you're done. I have no mousse in here, nothing."

Holland cut off most of his hair for a role in an upcoming movie called "Cherry," which is directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo (known for their work on Marvel movies like "Avengers: Endgame") and scheduled for release in 2020. "Cherry" is based on a 2018 book of the same name written by Nico Walker and Holland will portray a drug addict. In addition to the new haircut, the 23-year-old actor also said that he went on a weight loss diet for a month.

In the video, Holland addressed someone named Sabrina, saying: "It's Tom Holland here. I've just been hanging out with your dad for the afternoon and I thought I'd send you a video and say hello. Hope you're all well." 

Fans who saw the new appearance were divided, with some people feeling devastated while others thought he still looked attractive. There were also comparisons to Charlie PuthEminemJustin Timberlake, and Eleven from Netflix's  "Stranger Things."

In addition to "Cherry," Holland will also star alongside Bill Skarsgard and Robert Pattinson in a thriller called "The Devil All the Time." He'll also reprise his role as Spider-Man/Peter Parker in the franchise's third film, which hits theaters on July 16, 2021.
