Actor Tom Holland’s Gay Sex Scene Sparks Controversy
Actor Tom Holland, famous for lip syncing to the Rihanna song “Umbrella,” has done it again.Well, sort of. The actor who portrays Peter Parker wasn’t wearing a wig, corset, and fishnets and grinding on fellow actor and singer Zendaya, his Spider-Man co-star and now girlfriend, in the pouring rain, as he was on the TV show Lip Sync Battle six years ago.This time, in the latest installment of the new miniseries The Crowded Room, Holland is wearing thick black eyeliner and hooks up with another man in the bathroom stall of a nightclub.Naturally, the steamy scene, in which Holland bottoms, has gone viral on Twitter — and elicited homophobic backlash.
While many fans celebrated Holland for his versatile and “brilliant” lead performance, some trolls tweeted critical remarks like: “Tom Gone Wrong #NotMySpiderMan.”Fans were quick to defend the actor, noting that other Spidies, namely Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, have also gone gay for pay.

He’s not ACTUALLY Spider-Man. He can take any roles he wants, yes, including queer ones. Now breathe deeply and touch some grass.”Watching fragile cishet men have breakdowns over the reason Tom Holland is trending is sweet wine to me.
