Spider-Man splashes Marvel millions on a mansion up the road from Mum and Dad
SPIDER-MAN star Tom Holland will have no problem keeping in superhero shape after planners agreed to a major makeover of his £2.5m (€3m) home, including the addition of a gym.
The seven-figure renovations – funded from the estimated £15m (€18m) he has earned from his six Marvel movies – have prompted speculation that the actor’s American girlfriend Zendaya will move into the mansion with him.
Tom, 25, has until now been living with his comedian father Dominic and photographer mum Nicola – and the new property is less than a mile from their home in southwest London.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the star bought the threestorey, six-bedroom property in 2018 but wanted it extensively remodelled before moving in.
Once finished it will boast a cinema, sauna and games room in a new rear extension.
Commenting on rumours the couple could soon be choosing furniture together, a source said: ‘Tom has spent quite some time making this house into his perfect home and Zendaya has been visiting him in London, so let’s see. They are Hollywood’s hot, young couple and don’t want to be apart.’
The couple – who are setting box office records as web-slinger Peter Parker and his love interest Michelle ‘MJ’ Jones-Watson in Spider-Man: No Way Home – were spotted this week outside his parents’ home before enjoying a trip to the West End to see Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.
And yesterday our sister paper the Daily Mail reported that the couple had a secret meeting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The reason is unclear, but Harry and Meghan may have hoped to persuade the stars to take part in one of their media projects.
Tom has hinted it might be time to give up his Spider-Man costume. Last month, he said: ‘I want to take a break and focus on starting a family and figuring out what I want to do outside of this world.’
