Tom Holland Explains Why He Doesn't Like Walking The Red Carpet With Zendaya
The Uncharted actor, who also didn't walk the Golden Globes red carpet with the Malcolm and Marie actress on Sunday night, said his absence is because he doesn't want to draw attention away from his girlfriend. Or should we now say, rumored fiancée.
"Because it's not my moment, it's her moment, and if we go together, it's about us," Holland said. And although that seems like a cute response, many people are dragging him online for it.
Internet Reactions
"My god, imagine being this much of a beta," wrote one fan on a Pop Base X post about Tom's response, as a second asked: "Does he think he's more famous than her?" "More people care about Zendaya than you Tom," slammed a third, as a fourth commented: "Does he really think he can draw attention from ZENDAYA?"
"He thought he ate that," wrote a fifth. "Sorry bro but Zendaya got more star power we tryna see her," added a sixth fan of the Bulgari ambassador. "No disrespect to Tom, but whenever Zendaya is with you, she's definitely the focus," confirmed a seventh.
However, many other fans saw where he was coming from, with one person saying: "He's not saying he would steal her spotlight because he's Tom Holland, he's saying that if he walks with her it will become about them being a couple on the red carpet rather than just about Zendaya and her work."
"He's basically saying that he doesn't want to come in the way when it's Zendaya's moment to shine after all that hard work she had done," agreed another.
"Media will make headlines about their relationship rather than the actual movie premiere," observed another X user, while someone else wrote: "This is insanely sweet! He wants Zendaya and her work to shine instead of letting their relationship. It's been so long since we've seen a healthy celebrity couple."
"He is the most green flag guy ever!" exclaimed another X user. "If you're wondering what a green flag is… Tom Holland," echoed another. "People are hating on him for being a green flag guy? This can't be real," someone else wrote, as another asked: "Why is everyone dragging him?"
The same fan added: "He's saying it shouldn't be about them but just let her shine. He never said he'd be taking away her attention. It's cause everyone makes it about them being a couple."
