It's Tom Holland's birthday, and he just turned 30, which feels mildly illegal if you remember the groundbreaking Marvel/Sony deal for Spider-Man, allowing him to swing into the MCU as the baby-faced Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War. Somehow, the actor who once made “Mr. Stark” sound like the emotional center of the entire Marvel universe has entered a new decade, and his dad marked the moment with the exact kind of family video that was basically engineered to break Spider-Man fans, and they cannot get enough of it.
Dominic Holland shared the birthday tribute on his Instagram, posting an old home video of baby Tom being held by his mother while gripping a line above him with both hands. Given his eventual Marvel destiny, the footage has a pretty perfect visual punchline. Dominic captioned the post, “Happy 30th Tom! In training from day dot,” and fans immediately understood the assignment.
