15 times Tom Holland stole our hearts

12. When he took our memes and ran with them

There’s little better than an actor who can poke fun at himself. And Tom Holland has proven a thousand times over that he’s game for a laugh. He even tried his level best to get noted Holmies Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. to say a Sherlock-related line in Infinity War after fans pointed out it would be fun. Alas, it was to no avail.

But, one froggy evening, when Tumblr user opossume noticed something about the cutest superhero in the MCU, little did they know the Tom-sanctioned meme they were about to unleash on the world.

“Okay tom holland is cute and all but he constantly looks like he’s holding a frog in his mouth and it’s uncomfortably hopping around in there but he can’t open his mouth or the frogs [sic] gonna escape,” they wrote, before the post exploded onto sites like BuzzFeed.

Now a lesser actor might have found this distressing, but not our boy Tom Holland. No, he actually fanned the flames by posting a screencap of the post on his Instagram, with the caption “This is hilarious. I can confirm the rumours are true.’

Tom has always been good to his fans as shown by another jewel from Tom’s Instagram, featured in the interview with Radio One, where he signed comic book pages and threw them down to waiting fans from his hotel room window, saying “at least they can get a signature.”

But yet again his fans returned his affection with a meme, this time about the fact he can’t say “croissant.”Instead, we hear “quackson”.

“Every fan I meet, they’re like ‘Can you say Quackson?’ and they roast me on it,’ Tom joked, but he added that he thought it was “quite sweet” and that he really quite likes it.

That’s fortunate, really, since by his own estimation he’s a “walking meme.”

What can we say? It’s how we show love now.
