Holland is also beloved by fans for his kind heart and charity work, primarily his knack for showing up at Children’s Hospitals in costume to cheer up young fans who are fighting various illnesses. He has also proven he isn’t afraid of being a true hero, having once saved a fan who was being crushed against a security barrier and in the midst of a panic attack. His friendships with fellow Marvel stars such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Pratt, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ryan Reynolds have kept fans entertained online and loving that the actors get along with his co-stars both on and off screen.
This week, fans are celebrating with Tom Holland online as his 5-year anniversary passed on June 23rd, the date he was officially cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in a historic collaboration between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios.
Check out how the fans are celebrating the impact Tom has had on Marvel fans from around the world:
