Tom Holland, star of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” made good on a promise he’d made to a young fan who was attacked by a dog while saving his sister.
Holland delivered on a promise he had made in July of 2020 to Bridger Walker, who was 6-years-old at the time, for heroically saving his 4-year-old sister in a dog attack. The Spiderman star offered the brave young boy an invitation to visit the “Spider-man: No Way Home” set.
The Cheyenne, Wyoming, siblings were playing outside when a German shepherd bolted toward the sister, but Walker leaped into action to save his sister. He had to be rushed to the hospital, where he underwent a two-hour surgery that required more than 90 stitches.
Marvel stars, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, and Tom Holland, contacted the family privately while publicly praising Walker’s heroic efforts. Holland went a step further and offered to bring Bridger to the “Spider-man: No Way Home” set.
“When we first arrived on set, I was a little apprehensive that once the curtain was pulled back that the magic of the movies would be lost for the kids,” Bridger’s father Robert Walker wrote on Instagram. “The opposite was true!”
“I personally think it is because the cast and crew are good, kind, and passionate people. Individuals who heard about a little boy’s injury, who wanted to make it right,” he added.
Walker added that Bridger got to “web swing with his hero” and thanked Holland, his co-star Zendaya and the rest of the cast and crew who were “willing to stop a very busy day of shooting to make my little boy smile.”
