Tom Holland saves girlfriend Zendaya from swarm of paparazzi proving he’s real-life superhero

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'Spider-Man' star Tom Holland recently went viral and received praise online for protecting his girlfriend Zendaya from a swarm of photographers on Thursday, October 24 in New York City.

Tom and Zendaya, both 28 years old, are shown holding hands in a viral video before they got separated, with people circling the 'Challengers' actress to collect autographs and paparazzi to take pictures.

Tom can be heard shouting, "No, no, no," as he pushed his way through to Zendaya and hurriedly leaped in to save her from the crowd. He then said: "Give us a little bit of space" before they headed inside.

The 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' star was also spotted yelling at people to "Get out of the f*****g way" when he helped Zendaya, surrounded by admirers and photographers, taking her hand and escorting her into the event, per Daily Mail.

Tom Holland and Zendaya make rare public appearance during NYC outing

The couple, who usually keep their relationship under wraps, had been out and about in New York City for the launch of Tom's non-alcoholic beer, BERO.

Zendaya chose a fitting, custom-made, burgundy Louis Vuitton dress, while Tom wore a burgundy shirt and black leggings, synchronizing their outfits for the event.

Tom and Zendaya initially met on the set of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' in 2017 but their relationship wasn't officially revealed until 2021.

Even though a lot of fans are interested in their romance, Tom and Zendaya are extremely selective about what they choose to and refrain from revealing in public.

The pair's sleek appearance on Thursday followed Tom's announcement that he would play 'Spider-Man' again in the fourth movie, although he left fans wondering if Zendaya would make a comeback.

In an interview with Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show,' Tom stated that everything is "ready to go" and that production on the eagerly awaited fourth 'Spider-Man' movie will start in the summer of 2025.

He did not, however, disclose whether Zendaya will be playing MJ again, leaving fans in suspense
