It’s not just womеn who are captivated by Tom Holland’s performance in “Romeo And Juliet” at the Duke of York’s Theatre. Demi Moore, the Hollywood star, claims that her pet chihuahua Pilaf was deeply affected by the Spider-Man actor’s appearance in the West End production of Shakespeare’s tragedy.
Describing Pilaf as her constant companion and travel buddy, Moore mentioned that she usually carries her in a sling, taking her everywhere from the French Open to Broadway shows. Recently, Pilaf had the opportunity to witness Tom Holland’s portrayal of Romeo in London, and Moore remarked that the performance left a lasting impression on her pooch.
Tom currently stars as Romeo Montague alongside Francesca Amewudah-Rivers as Juliet in Jamie Lloyd’s contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s timeless tale.
Fans of Holland have been gathering outside the theatre to catch a glimpse of the actor, with strict guidelines in place to ensure public safety. Despite the no-autograph policy, Holland has been accommodating, often stopping to wave to his admirers for photos and videos.
The rush for tickets to Holland’s West End run has been immense, with over 60,000 eager fans, including TC, scrambling to secure seats, leading to sold-out shows within hours. Resale tickets are now available at around £300 each, demonstrating the immense popularity and demand for the production.
