SPIDER-MAN SWEETHEARTS DEFY CANOODLING BAN
Guess what happens when “mom” warns:
“Don’t?” Exactly! Reallife Spider-Man lovebirds
TOM HOLLAND and ZENDAYA, both 25, were told hands off when first hired as teenage spidey soulmates back in 2016, so naturally, they became very hands on.
“I took Tom and Zendaya aside, separately, when we first cast them and gave them a lecture,” reveals the blockbuster action flicks’ executive producer
AMY PASCAL. “Don’t go there — just don’t,” she ordered the young stars. Guess how that worked out? Like Romeo and Juliet, the instantly attracted A-list pair went — ah, undercovers — and hid their secret “forbidden” love for ages. They finally came out of the bedroom closet last summer.
But there must be something in the spider set’s water. The advice also fell on deaf ears with Tom’s buggy predecessor ANDREW GARFIELD, who fell furiously fast for his then leading lady, EMMA STONE, while shooting 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man.
“I gave the same advice to Andrew and Emma,” admits Amy. “It can just complicate things, you know? And they all ignored me.” That web of love lasted a few years — before the striking movie stars got tangled up with other people!
