HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM HOLLAND!

Tom Holland is twenty-six years old today, and what a twenty-six years it has been.

Holland has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. As the star of Spider-Man: No Way Home, he attracted the eyes of the world to his insane talent. From there, it seems he just can't stop starring in movies. (We all have our crazy habits, right?)

This year alone, he was also seen in Uncharted, the video-game based film wherein Holland starred alongside film icon Mark Wahlberg. He is set to take on the role of the ever iconic dancer Fred Astaire in an upcoming biopic about the performer's life. Holland's modern career on the screen is that of a mega-star in the making.

However, his career did not start this year. Holland, like many who find themselves squarely in the limelight by the time they hit their mid-twenties, started acting professionally at a young age. Back in 2009, Tom Holland actually played the title character in the musical Billy Elliot on the West End.

His film debut came later; in a 2012 drama titled The Impossible.

He has spent half his life performing professionally. Now, many are saying that he is the world's next leading man - in a time in which not many candidates for the title seem to be in the pop-culture circulation. (Our last big batch of those all seem to have come from the Chris Evans age group - Gen Z hasn't met all their heartthrobs yet, but we're sure that Holland and Timothee Chalamet will have plenty of company in no time. There are probably up and comers we're even failing to mention right now - but we'll always remember Tom Holland as the first one.)

We cannot wait to see what big things the young actor has in store for his twenty sixth year. Happy Birthday Tom Holland!
