A Close Shave(d Head) For Spider-Man’s Tom Holland
He is one of the biggest names in movies right now; Tom Holland — a.k.a. Spider-Man — is a fan favorite.
With his boyish good looks, wide smile, British accent, and luscious brown locks — er, stubble.
Yep, I said stubble. Marvel’s golden boy looks a little different now.
Spidey Shaved His Head
Allure has the “story”:
For fans of Spider-Man star Tom Holland, yesterday was a sad, sad day. On October 8, an activist by the name of Art posted a video of Holland talking to the camera to thank him for visiting fans at a medical center in Ohio. The video itself is harmless and laced with all of Holland’s usual affable charm — but his shaved head in the video sent fans into a full-on spiral they have yet to recover from. The video was reposted by the celebrity news Twitter account Pop Crave, and it rapidly circulated to every single corner of the internet.
Alongside his English accent, thick-rimmed glasses, and unflinching politeness, Holland’s curly, chocolate-colored mop of hair is among the key attributes that makes him so appealing to so many fans — needless to say, they are less than thrilled to see it’s gone without warning. Just as it went when Joe Keery and Harry Styles cut off their beloved hair, people on Twitter are having a field day about Holland’s, and not in a good way.
“Rest in peace to Tom Holland’s beautiful hair. You will be missed,” writes one fan in mourning. “R.I.P Tom Holland’s hair you will be missed but not forgotten,” chimes another with a full photo montage of his hair set to music. Amid all the fans upset over Holland’s recent lack of hair, there are plenty of other getting a good laugh out of it. He’s already drawn comparisons to an egg, Eminem, Pitbull, and Caillou, the bald children’s cartoon character. The general consensus? “I don’t know that guy.”

So what do you think of Tom’s new do? Don’t worry if you don’t love it. I’m pretty confident he’ll have the long locks back when he next dons the suit.
