Hoppers is out this week and the movie’s breakout star is all over your social media feed. Tom the Lizard was an icon before the first trailer for Hoppers dropped. It’s easy to see why. Our little green obsession rose to fame after being in a post-credits scene for Elio.
Tom sits in a dark room bathed In the glow of a smartphone. Once he presses the device in front of him, his eyes grow bigger and bigger and bigger as the draw of scrolling proves too much.. What once was a silly tag at the end of a charming animated film became a full on meme on the Internet.. People recording their phones at the put him on Tik Tok, and we were rolling. Folks kept asking in the comments, “What is this lizard from?”
