​A source close to the couple told the outlet that Tom's bold performance “sealed the deal” for him.

​“It’s not just sexy but it shows how amazingly talented he is,” the tattler continued.

​“It takes a lot of confidence for a straight guy to pull off drag," they remarked.

​As the 30-year-old actor took over the Spider-Man role in 2015, the source shared, “When he was announced as Spider–Man, people were taken aback because he’s slightly wimpy."

“But what he lacks in stature he more than makes up for in talent." the insider noted.

​During the performance, the Euphoria actress was seen enjoying the Tom's Day show in a latex corset and black shorts, the source added, “You can see the shock on her face but then the admiration."

​"I’m sure it’s something they will show their kids one day," the bird chirped.

​This came days after Tom confirmed that he and Zendaya are husband and wife in a recent interview with Esquire following months of rumors and reports.
