Tom Holland's Face When Zendaya Walked the Red Carpet Is Still Going Viral a Week Later

Two days before Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened, Tom Holland was answering a red carpet question at the film's London premiere when the crowd behind him suddenly erupted. Caught off guard, he looked up and asked who had arrived, and the moment his face registered that it was Zendaya has been circulating in clip form ever since, well past the film's opening weekend.

It followed a separate viral moment from the same press tour: a lyrics game where Holland was asked to complete the words to Zendaya's 2013 single Replay and drew a blank entirely, to her visible amusement on camera. The two clips together have become the defining off-screen content of the campaign, arguably outperforming most of the film's actual marketing.

None of it required a stunt or a planned bit, which is precisely why it's held on this long. A tentpole this size usually gets remembered for its box office; this one has also picked up a genuinely unscripted moment that a global opening weekend didn't manage to bury.
