Fans have shown their admiration for actor Tom Holland after he was seen pushing paparazzi away from his girlfriend, Zendaya.
The couple, who have been together for several years, are cherished by the public for their relationship, especially appreciating Holland’s gentlemanly behavior despite their desire for privacy.
The incident that captured fans’ attention occurred when the 28-year-old star of The Impossible and the Euphoria actress, also 28, were in New York City. It displayed the extent Holland would go to in order to protect Zendaya.
On the night of October 24, the pair exited a limo as Zendaya paused to sign autographs for fans.
However, an aggressive group of photographers swarmed the Challengers actress, prompting Holland to intervene.
Footage obtained by Entertainment Tonight shows him making his way through the crowd to reach his girlfriend.
He can be heard saying: “Get out of the f*****g way.”
Zendaya was seen telling him: “No, no, it’s OK Tom,” as he pushed the paparazzi aside.
Holland then moved her to safety, positioning himself between her and the photographers, shielding her from the flashing cameras.
He led her through the crowd, holding her arm, to ensure she left safely.
The video has made viewers ‘obsessed,’ with many calling Holland a ‘walking green flag’ as it spread on Twitter.

“No one is entitled to anything from these people.”
The couple was also seen at the launch of Holland’s new non-alcoholic beer brand, BERO, as he has spoken about his challenges with alcohol on various talk shows.
The actor shared with Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show that he initially aimed for a month without alcohol, but when it proved difficult, he extended it to six months.
After reaching six months, he experienced numerous benefits and aimed to complete a full year of sobriety.
Now, Holland abstains from alcohol entirely and created BERO as he was dissatisfied with the current non-alcoholic options available.
He issued a statement to Variety stating: “For me, BERO is personal. After two years on my sobriety journey, I wanted to create something that reflected my lifestyle and values. This beer isn’t just for those on a similar path, but for everyone who appreciates quality, craftsmanship and living life to the fullest. BERO delivers the taste and experience of a great brew, and never asks you to settle for less.”
