Zendaya’s boyfriend Tom Holland strong-armed some forceful paparazzi as he attempted to protect the Euphoria star from the pandemonium happening outside of his event.
The Disney Channel alum was beside her man Thursday night to show support for the Cherry actor’s non-alcoholic beer brand Bero launch in New York City. Zendaya and Tom attended the event in stylish coordinating ensembles. The actress had on a body-hugging low-cut burgundy brown leather Louis Vuitton dress that covered her Christian Louboutin heels. Meanwhile, Tom had on a shirt the same color as her dress, black pants, and fresh white sneakers.
As soon as the couple got out of the car that dropped them at the event, they were bombarded with flashing lights and fans.
Tom seemed to make his way through the surrounding madness effortlessly, but Zendaya appeared to become consumed by it after she dropped his hand so she could interact with fans. When the Emmy-winning entertainer stopped to sign autographs, paparazzi at Tom’s launch began to swarm her, which pushed her beau into action.

The British performer immediately came back to the scene, muscling his way toward his love who was at the center of the chaos.
“Get out the f- -king way,” Tom shouted to someone who was blocking him from being able to get to his love. Once he reached Zendaya he grabbed her hand, and led her into the venue through the crowd outside seemingly to her delight given the smile on her face as he took charge.
Tom also led Zendaya to their ride when they were leaving the event, moving paparazzi out of their way as he did so. Entertainment Tonight filmed Tom’s fight with the paparazzi in defense of Zendaya and shared it on the news publication’s TikTok account.
Shortly after they posted it, the video landed on X, formerly Twitter, garnering much praise from both of their fanbases.
“It’s him reaching his hand back then realizing she’s not holding it cos she’s swarmed paps and going back to correct that. HE FR DOES NOT PlAY ABOUT HER,” one person wrote on X. Another shared, “Not only he’s her boyfriend he’s her bodyguard too. i love ittttttt.” A third person added, “Bro is what every guy should be when it comes to protecting theirs.”
Someone else mentioned: “He did what her bodyguards were supposed to do. That is a man and it makes me understand why he could land a Zendaya.”
Tom and Zendaya have been dating since 2021.
