Tom Holland is proving to be the ultimate green flag boyfriend. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, the actor opened up about attending Zendaya’s film premieres but opting out of walking the red carpet with her. Although Holland and Zendaya are considered one of the IT couples in Hollywood, they are known to maintain a low-key profile. This is also why their rare joint public appearances catch significant attention from both paps and fans. Moreover, Holland’s reason for not making a red carpet appearance with Zendaya is not only reasonable but also adorable.
Tom Holland on why he doesn’t walk red carpets with Zendaya: ‘Because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment’
Tom Holland opened up about all things professional and personal, including his public appearances at Zendaya’s film premieres, in his recent interview with Men’s Health as the outlet’s first cover star of 2025. There is a reason why fans don’t frequently spot the actor walking the red carpet with Zendaya for her movie premieres. The MCU star explained that their joint appearance might distract everyone from her achievements or her big day. As it is, Holland’s perspective towards the couple’s joint red carpet appearances speaks volumes about their mutual respect for each other.
In a candid conversation with Men’s Health, Holland expressed that he avoided red carpet appearances with Zendaya at her premieres to avoid making it about them. Explaining further, he said, “Because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us.”
Holland is raising the standards for all the boyfriends out there. His conscious choice of not making joint red carpet appearances with Zendaya is only logical. While the two might accompany each other for a movie they shot together like Marvel’s “Spider-Man,” he wouldn’t want to take the limelight away from Zendaya at her movie premieres. Furthermore, given her show-stopping outfits on red carpets, it is only fair that all the lights and cameras capture her rather than make it about the couple.
Meanwhile, Tom Holland and Zendaya have walked the red carpet together for the Marvel movies they both starred in. These include “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Their next joint red carpet appearance would likely be in 2026 for “Spider-Man 4” and Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.”
