Fans are only just realizing that Spiderman star, Tom Holland’s dad is famous…
Now, who doesn’t know Tom Holland?
Starting as an unknown theatre boy from England, Holland was catapulted to unprecedented levels of fame in 2016 after his Marvel debut in Captain America: Civil War.
Holland achieved international recognition for his role as Spider-Man in the MCU.
Of course, to begin with, many were a little shocked to hear that such an unknown actor had been cast in such a big role.
But, Holland soon showed how perfect the casting was.
Directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo said that Holland had the edge because of his prior experience as a gymnast. In the script, Spiderman flipped in a scene, and Holland reportedly offered to perform the stunt himself during one of the auditions.
The Marvel Universe has catapulted Holland into the A-list limelight, and he has gradually become one of the most popular actors in the world of Hollywood.
He is an incredible actor and is also well known for his comically loveable personality off-screen.
We all remember the time he accidentally let slip that his character had died in Infinity War to an audience full of people who hadn’t yet seen the movie.
Big whoops.
But, a side from his loveable personality and acting skills, there’s another reason that people simply can’t get enough of the actor…
His relationship.
Holland and Zendaya almost broke the internet when they confirmed they were dating last year.
Holland shared a picture to Instagram of the pair, calling Zendaya “My MJ” and wishing her happy birthday.
And recently they got fans all excited once again…
As they announced they’re taking their relationship to the next level.
Holland and Zendaya bought a home together in the UK.
The Mirror reported that the couple purchased a home which is located in South West London.
But it seems even though Tom Holland’s life has been pretty public, people are only just realizing who his dad is.
It turns out he’s pretty famous.
The actor and comedian Dominic Holland is Tom’s dad.
And he has even written a book about Tom’s success in the entertainment world, which has surpassed his own.
The audiobook Eclipsed, is scheduled to come out later this month.
“How does a kid called Tom Holland, who never had a speaking part in a school play find himself playing Marvel’s Peter Parker?” The bio reads.
“A series of happy coincidences and serendipitous events is the answer. A fluke, then? Yes, but not exactly, given that huge amounts of commitment and hard work have been required.
“Eclipsed is the unlikely but true story of an ordinary family, muddling on through life without much of a plan and dealing with circumstances that confound normal expectations. Written by a dad who as a professional comedian took his own shot at show-biz stardom and called Eclipsed because his carefully honed plans didn’t work out so well.”
Fans were shocked that Tom’s dad is also famous, with one writing on Twitter: “Woah. I just learned that Dominic Holland is Tom Holland’s dad. They look so similar too, and I never put the two together.”
While another added: “Wait, Tom Holland’s dad is the comedian Dominic Holland? That is mad.”
