Tom Holland and Zendaya hold hands in rare PDA as he's supported by famous pals at play
Tom Holland was cheered on by his celeb mates as he took centre stage for his West End debut in Romeo and Juliet.
The tickets for the much-anticipated show were snapped up within hours when they went on sale back in February. A-listers flocked to The Duke Of York's Theatre on Thursday 23 May for a press preview, eager to see Tom, 27, take on the role of Romeo.
Among the famous faces were Maya Jama and her beau Stormzy, as well as actor Tom Hiddleston and fiancée Zawe Aston. Maya looked effortlessly chic as she strutted down the red carpet in an oversized white shirt paired with billowing black trousers, gold strappy heels, hoop earrings and oversized sunnies.
Stormzy, keeping a low profile, accompanied her in an all-black ensemble complete with a black cap, crossbody bag and a silver watch. Tom Hiddleston attended hand-in-hand with his fiancée Zawe, looking every bit the loved-up couple.
Tom's Hollywood actress girlfriend Zendaya was there to support him on the night, but chose to stay backstage rather than strut down the red carpet. After the show, the smitten couple made an appearance as they left the theatre together, arm in arm.
Zendaya, who recently co-chaired the Met Gala for the first time, looked breathtaking in a black ruffled gown as she held hands with Tom, who opted for an all-black ensemble.
While rumours began swirling that he and Zendaya had broken up in early January due to Euphoria star Zendaya unfollowing everyone, including Tom, on Instagram, it is clear that the pair are still very much together.
The show had a bit of a rocky start as it was originally scheduled to kick off on Saturday, May 11 but was cancelled just a day prior.
The Spiderman star was spotted in London after ticket holders were informed just a day before the performance that the show "cannot go ahead as planned". It was called off "due to the technical aspects of the production needing further preparation."
The part marks Tom's first major theatre role since his debut as a child star in Billy Elliot: The Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre in 2008.
The play is scheduled to run from Saturday, May 11 to Saturday, August 3.
