Tom Holland is a real hero as he defends a fan from autograph seekers

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Your friendly neighborhood Tom Holland recently had to go full-superhero on a gang of autograph hunters, who in their fight to get the SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME actor's John Hancock, were seen crushing a young girl who claimed to be having a panic attack. Like a fine and upstanding celeb, Holland was having none of it, and threatened to throw the "graphers" shit to the ground if they did not cease their douche-canoe display.

All of the action was caught on video by the young woman in jeopardy, who goes by @namelesscass on Twitter.

“I will throw your shit on the floor if you keep pushing that girl,” said Holland, as he brandished a pen in the faces of those responsible for the young woman's cries for help.

Not long after the incident, @namelesscass recounted the frightening experience on Twitter. You can read the details of the New York signing below:

Much like the most invasive of paparazzi, "graphers" are seen by many celebs to be the dregs of fan society. Their primary goal when attending a fan-oriented signing is to have the celebrity in question autograph a series of items that are then sold to the highest bidder online. They're the Ebenezers of Ebay. The criminals of Craigslist. The killjoys of Kijiji. Do yourself a favor and don't give them any of your hard-earned cash, as the products they sell are typically obtained through nefarious means, and no autograph is worth the health and safety of a bonafide fan.

Marvel and Disney's SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME is set to web-swing into theaters on July 2. Billed as the final film of Marvel's Phase 3 planning, Spidey's latest solo adventure picks up after the events of AVENGERS: ENDGAME, a time when Spider-Man must step up to take on new threats in a world that has changed forever. The film stars Tom Holland as Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, Jake Gyllenhaal as Quentin Beck, aka Mysterio, Zendaya as Michelle Jones, aka MJ, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Marisa Tomei as May Parker, among others.
