In a new interview with Men’s Health, Holland said he tends to avoid public events when possible, in part because he’s conscious of the way his presence could detract attention. He often attends Zendaya’s premieres, he said, but doesn’t take photos with her.

Tom Holland opens up about the real reason he skips walking the red carpet with his girlfriend, Zendaya, at her premieres.

There is a very good reason you never seen Spider-Man star Tom Holland walking the red carpet with longtime girlfriend Zendaya. In a new cover story interview with Men's Health the 28-year-old actor explained that for the same reason he can't just drop in to see an afternoon matinee play without being swarmed by fans - or pulling attention from the actors on stage - he doesn't want to distract from Z's big day.

Tom Holland is Zendaya 's biggest fan — we can tell from how he's always hyping her up and gushing over her and her accomplishments. But when it comes to attending Zendaya's red carpets, he typically chooses to skip them to keep the focus on her.

The Marvel star is opening up about why he chooses not to walk the red carpet with her, and while the reason is considerate, it's also a bit sad.
