“Spider-Man” hasn’t just appeared on screen but now seems to have come to real life—and none other than Tom Holland . Recently, he “rescued” his girlfriend Zendaya from a crowd, a gesture that earned him widespread praise.
This Thursday, the couple made a rare public appearance as the 28-year-old actress showed up to support her boyfriend. Throughout the event in New York, the ”Spider-Man” star was constantly by her side, ready to protect her as paparazzi surrounded them.
In just moments, the “Dune” actress was surrounded by photographers and fans. Tom Holland quickly turned around, calling out “no, no, no” as he cleared a path for Zendaya. He held her hand tightly, leading her safely into the event. The attention continued afterward when, as they made their way to the parked car, Tom stayed close, holding her hand and occasionally placing a protective hand on her back. He even advised people nearby, saying, “Please be careful, everyone.”
Though only a few steps apart, as Zendaya paused to sign autographs, numerous arms reached toward her, and fans and photographers closed in around her. According to viral videos circulating on social media, Tom quickly turned back, pushing a few people away to “rescue” his girlfriend. He repeatedly asked the crowd to give them some space.
The video of Tom “rescuing” Zendaya went viral, with many comments praising the British actor as a real-life hero, not just “Spider-Man” on the screen.
Their public appearance came shortly after Tom Holland announced he would reprise his role in “Spider-Man” for its fourth installment. Filming is set to begin in the summer of 2025, though he has not confirmed whether Zendaya will return as MJ, keeping fans curious.
Tom Holland and Zendaya first sparked romance rumors on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017 but didn’t confirm their relationship until 2021. The actor shared that he and Zendaya sometimes rewatch Spider-Man 1 together, reminiscing about when they were 19. Tom also revealed that Zendaya, the Euphoria actress, is incredibly supportive of his career, frequently watching his show The Crowded Room and providing feedback.
