Tom Holland supported by Zendaya at new West End show
Tom Holland has been supported by girlfriend Zendaya at the premiere of his new West End production of Romeo & Juliet.
The Spider-Man actor is taking on the role of Shakespeare's Romeo at the Duke of York Theatre in London, starring alongside Bad Education's Francesca Amewudah-Rivers's Juliet.
The production's press night took place last night (May 23), with many famous faces in attendance including Zendaya, who reportedly stayed backstage rather than walk the red carpet (via The Mirror).

Also in attendance were Marvel stars Tom Hiddleston and fiancée Zawe Ashton, as well as Love Island host Maya Jama and boyfriend Stormzy.
Zendaya previously shared her support for her boyfriend's new West End role, admitting she "could not be more proud" of him.
"I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can,” she added to British Vogue.

Following the production's announcement earlier this year, Holland expressed his gratitude after tickets for the show sold out within two hours.
"Really feeling the love today," he wrote on Instagram. "Sold out in 2hrs. I can't believe it.
"Thank you to everyone who queued up and I'll see you all soon. Much love and again, thank you thank you thank you."
The version of the classic tragedy is directed by Jamie Lloyd, and is described as a "pulsating new vision of Shakespeare's immortal tale of wordsmiths, rhymers, lovers and fighters".
Jamie Lloyd's Romeo & Juliet, starring Tom Holland, runs at the Duke of York Theatre in central London from May 11 to August 3, 2024.
