After 5 Words Turned Zendaya Into $2.8 Billion Team Fan, Tom Holland Ditches Them for $2,700,000,000 Wealthier FC Barcelona

In the world of entertainment and sports, there is often a special bond that forms when celebrities show their love for a particular team. For Hollywood star Tom Holland, that bond was with Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. However, it appears that Spiderman has wandered far from home and has pledged his allegiance to FC Barcelona.

For years, Tom Holland has been an outspoken fan of Tottenham Hotspur. In numerous interviews, he has proudly declared his support for the club, which is valued at an impressive $2.7 billion. His enthusiasm for the team even rubbed off on his co-actress and partner, Zendaya, who also became a loyal Spurs supporter thanks to Holland’s influence. But a recent statement from him says otherwise.

Tom Holland is no longer a Tottenham fan

Recently, Holland made a statement that has sent shockwaves through the sports and entertainment world. In a podcast episode with Jay Shetty, the actor revealed his love for FC Barcelona, a team worth a staggering $5.5 billion. “I have always been a Barça fan,” Tom Holland surprisingly stated. This sudden change of heart has left many scratching their heads.

This revelation could be because of the lack of success at Tottenham Hotspur. While the club has consistently maintained a strong standing in the leagues and has qualified for European competitions, it has been decades since it last won a major trophy. On the other hand, FC Barcelona boasts a rich history and a long list of achievements.

With a valuation that surpasses Tottenham by almost $2.7 billion, Barcelona is undoubtedly an attractive choice for any soccer fan. Also, it seems like the actor has lost hope in the Spurs as he recently appealed for Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane to join a team like Real Madrid to succeed.

The news of Holland’s newfound love for Barcelona has sparked mixed reactions among fans. It will be interesting to see what Zendaya will have to say about it, after how Holland initially persuaded her to pledge allegiance to Tottenham with five words.

How Zendaya got persuaded into becoming a Spurs fan

Earlier this year, Son Heung-min, the star player of Tottenham, met Zendaya and Tom Holland. Tottenham Hotspur even shared a video of this special moment on their social media platforms. During the meeting, there was a joyous atmosphere as both Hollywood celebrities expressed their happiness in meeting Heung-min.

After exchanging warm greetings, Heung-min presented Zendaya with a small gift hamper with the Tottenham Hotspur logo. Upon receiving the hamper, Zendaya’s face lit up with a broad smile. To top it off, Tom Holland playfully declared, “You’re now a Spurs fan,” to which Zendaya enthusiastically responded with, “I know!” Heung-min joined in the fun by humorously confirming Zendaya’s new status as a devoted Spurs fan.

It will be interesting to see if Tom Holland will do the same for Barcelona now. What are your thoughts on this change? Let us know in the comments.
