Tom Holland is not just Zendaya’s costar turned boyfriend, he’s also her bodyguard.
On October 24, the 28-year-old actor was forced to step in when the Euphoria star was swarmed by paparazzi…at least that’s how it looks in multiple videos currently going viral on social media. In one video shared by photographer Jackson Lee, Holland appears to walk ahead of Zendaya before turning around and physically pushing through a crowd of photographers that had circled around her while she signed some autographs for fans.
“What a gentleman,” Lee captioned the video, a sentiment many of the commenters agreed with. “Who needs bodyguards when you are dating Spiderman,” one user commented. Another noted that Lee was technically part of the “hoard.”
In separate video going viral on TikTok, one photographer could even be heard telling the actor, “It’s okay, Tom,” as he escorts his partner out of the fray. Is it?! As one commenter wrote, “I felt super claustrophobic just watching this. He probably felt extreme panic and anxiety at that moment.” Meanwhile, Zendaya seems unruffled, as ever, seeming to mouth her own assurance to Holland as her paid security guard attempts to control the situation.
