Tom Holland Gets Recognized as Spider-Man While Breaking up a Fight
The actor said one of the men recognized him "immediately."
Tom Holland is a real-life Avenger.
In a new cover story for Men’s Health, the Spider-Man: Homecoming actor revealed that he broke up a fight between two men during a recent trip to Whole Foods in Los Angeles.
“They’re like going at it, right behind me,” Holland said, describing how he jumped in between them and led one of the men away.
“I can see that he’s recognized me immediately, and you could see the wheels turning, like, I’m really angry, but Spider-Man is telling me to calm down,” he said, laughing. “So, yeah, I go to the supermarket.”
Being recognizable has worked in Tom’s favor. Last year, Zendaya revealed that her boyfriend got out of a speeding ticket because the police knew who he was.
"Tom and I were rushing to a spin class with my mother,” she told Jimmy Kimmel last April. “We were going a little fast, we were running late. They recognized that he was Spider-Man and we were fine. We got a warning and everything was OK.”
Next year, Holland is slated to return as his Marvel character in a still-untitled sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home.
