Tom Holland Protects Zendaya from Aggressive Paparazzi During NYC Date Night

Tom Holland channeled his inner Spider-Man in real life, stepping up to protect his girlfriend, Zendaya, from aggressive paparazzi while they enjoyed a night out in New York City. The couple, both 28, was caught on video navigating through swarms of fans and photographers as they exited the Nine Orchard Hotel on Thursday.

In footage obtained by TMZ, Holland politely pushed aside a photographer to clear a path for Zendaya, ensuring she could walk through without issue. Ever the class act, Zendaya smiled graciously at the photographer as she followed Holland, their hands tightly clasped.

Later in the evening, the duo faced another chaotic encounter while leaving their black SUV, where they were surrounded by eager fans demanding autographs and persistent paparazzi. This time, Holland’s protective instincts kicked into high gear. He turned around, shoving someone out of the way and grabbing Zendaya’s arm to pull her from the crowd.

Zendaya seemed thankful for Holland’s quick actions, flashing a smile as the two slipped out of the chaos together.

The couple was in town to celebrate the launch of Holland’s non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero, and they made sure to look the part for the occasion. Zendaya stunned in a maroon leather Louis Vuitton dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit, while Holland matched her style in a maroon T-shirt, black pants, and white Prada sneakers.

Holland’s protective actions didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who praised the actor online for stepping up and keeping Zendaya safe.
