Tom Holland, the 28-year-old star of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” bid a quick farewell to fans outside the Duke of York Theatre on Monday night, where he’s currently portraying Romeo in a rendition of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Reports suggest he’s been instructed to leave promptly after his performances due to the overwhelming crowd gathering at the stage door seeking glimpses of him.

Despite the new regulations aimed at managing the crowds for public safety, Holland has been cooperative, swiftly exiting the theatre to adhere to the guidelines. Officials emphasize that these measures are in place to ensure the safety of theatergoers and the public.

Holland, maintaining a casual demeanor in a grey jacket and T-shirt paired with beige trousers, acknowledged the fans with a wave as he departed for home. While he refrains from personal interactions like autograph signings, he’s willing to pose for photos during his exit.

Although known for his tailored appearances on stage, Holland has embraced a more relaxed style for this role, even sporting a new hairstyle. His return to the West End marks a significant transition from his last stage performance in “Billy Elliot the Musical” back in May 2010.

Fans have been informed that there won’t be opportunities for autographs or selfies with Holland at the stage door, but he has been kind enough to acknowledge them with waves, allowing for photo opportunities to capture moments for social media.
