19 year old actor, Tom Holland, who plays Spiderman, will host an exclusive screening of his new movie and a meet-and-greet in south west London, to mark his support for a Kingston-based charity
The teenage actor, who plays Peter Parker/ SpiderMan in the new Captain America: Civil War, has become an ambassador for The Lunchbowl Network- a charity which feeds and cares for orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya, and is run by volunteers. Holland, who grew up in Kingston, will introduce and host a private screening of his latest hit movie on Sunday morning (May 8). Holland is best known for playing the title role in Billy Elliot- the musical, at the Victoria Palace Theater in London, as well as starring in the 2015 film-the impossible.
Born to parents associate to the theater and movie industry, his father was a photographer and his mother a comedian/actor. In 2012, young Holland was cast as Peter Parker/spider man in the movie cinematic universe. His new screening is to appear on the 16th of May in the U.K.
For the scheduled meet and greet occasion in South London, The Lunch bowl Network is giving away 15 family tickets in an on line raffle, entry costs £10.
Those who donate an extra £25 on Sunday, Holland will meet and have signed photos with the winning families, though one winning family will be chosen to meet Tom after the screening for drinks. The exclusive screening will include an on line auction that will give the highest bidder an opportunity to stay for drinks with him after the film.
Yesterday, it emerged that the teenage movie sensation could be the lynch pin of a new franchise between Marvel studious and Sony, with directors penning a catching new cinematic script to be fronted by Holland . Spider man, like Superman, has always been sort of a catch for children and youths alike. His visit to his town of birth to help a charity is a warm reflection of the great heart Holland has and will greatly enthuse attendees on what is expected to be a hot day.
