Tom Holland gave a luxury holiday surprise to his parents because he and Zendaya were too tired to take it themselves.

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars had been due to go to Japan after a busy few months which has seen the couple promote both the latest superhero instalment and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

So, instead of letting the no-expense spared break go to waste, Tom offered it to his parents, stand-up comedian and writer Dominic Holland and his wife Nicola and it was for free.

Dominic told the audience at the Queen's Park Book Festival in London, “So, you know that Tom had a few films out recently he had The Odyssey out then he had Spider-Man.”

“And he's been tired, he's been working unbelievably hard,” the proud dad said as he praised his famous son.

“He and Zendaya have done probably twice around the globe to promote these films. They were tired they'd probably done maybe 20, 10-hour flights and about three days after the London premiere, he said, ‘Dad we've got this holiday to Japan’ and I said ‘that'll be nice Tom, you'll enjoy it,’” Dominic recalled.

“And he said, ‘Dad it's too far and I'm too tired. What I thought I'd do Dad is that I'd send you and mum instead,’” he said of Tom Holland gifting his and Zendaya’s luxury trip.
