Tom Holland has gone viral for protecting his girlfriend Zendaya on a night out.
At his event launch on Thursday, the 28-year-old Spider-Man star displayed his chivalrous side by keeping Zendaya close behind him as they stepped out to a wall of paparazzi.
The British celebrity was filming yelling “Guys watch out!” as he held her hand and rested a protective hand on her back as the couple attempted to reach a car.

Tom declared: “give us a little bit of space” before they headed off.
The celebrity was also spotted telling people to “get out of the f*****g way” earlier in the evening when he helped Zendaya, who was surrounded by fans and photographers.
Fans swiftly praised the actor on social media calling him a “king.”
One commented: “I wasn’t entirely familiar with Mr. Holland’s game, but this is a MAN.”
Another wrote: “Yes, this is why we love ya king.”
Others wrote: “Damn major props to Tom Holland protecting Zendaya.”
“and you know where this would happen a Notting Hill style remake starring Zendaya and Tom Holland.”
“I knew I could trust Tom Holland to protect Zendaya.”
The couple, who met on the set of their Spider-Man movies, have been romantically linked since 2016.
However, their romance rumours were not confirmed until they were spotted holding hands in public in 2021.
In her Vogue cover story, Zendaya offered a glimpse of their relationship, sharing what it has been like seeing her boyfriend deal with fame since 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming.
“We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight,” the Disney Channel alum said.
“One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man.”
“I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him,” she added. “But he handled it really beautifully.”
