When Holland liked that post, it caused quite the stir among fans. Comments poured in, filled with affection, humor, and playfulness, as they affectionately dubbed him "our short king." One user quipped, "I sometimes think Tom forgets he's famous." While another chimed in with a simple, "TOM SAID YUP THAT'S ME." Meanwhile, a third user showered him with love, declaring, "We adore you, our short king."

What began as a seemingly small online gesture quickly snowballed into discussions about Tom Holland's height, a topic that had rarely been broached before. The fact that Zendaya, his Spider-Man co-star, stood taller than him sparked even more conversations about the role height plays in relationships.

Moreover, at the SiriusXM Town Hall event for the promotion of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the spotlight turned to a pivotal kiss between Holland and Zendaya in the film. What piqued curiosity even further was the noticeable height difference between the two. In response, Tom Holland quipped, “Not that much taller, let's clear this up. Maybe an inch or two at best. It's not like people were saying, 'How did you guys manage to kiss? It must have been so challenging.'"

Zendaya added her own personal touch by mentioning that her own mother stood taller than her father, emphasizing the insignificance of such disparities. Interestingly, Tom also revealed that many actresses auditioning for Spider-Man were often taller than him, a revelation that caught many by surprise.
