Tom Holland and fiancée Zendaya have reportedly been forced to splash out £1,000-a-day on security after fans began ‘rocking up’ at their £3million west London home.
The Spiderman stars, both 29, who confirmed their engagement earlier this year, were said to want to live a ‘normal life’ but are being inundated with autograph hunters and requests for selfies.
A source said: ‘Fans kept rocking up to their place and it started to get a bit much. They love interacting with their fans but, when they’re not working, they’re just a young couple trying to have a normal life’.
‘Fans had started arriving at their gates and asking for selfies and autographs. They have got security now to deter any randoms visitors.’
Tom is now spending more time than ever at home following his recent on-set accident shutting down production on his latest Marvel movie.
He is recuperating after being treated for a ‘mild concussion’ following an incident during filming last Friday.
A neighbour told The Sun: ‘As soon as Tom and Zendaya started filming the new Spider-Man fans just kept turning up. Now they’ve got this burly security bloke outside. He’s friendly enough but looking at him, he’s not the kind of man you’d want to miff off.’
The Daily Mail have contacted Tom Holland and Zendaya’s representatives for comment.
Following Tom’s on-set accident it was reported how paramedics rushed to the scene at Leavesden Studios in Watford before taking Tom to hospital for treatment.
Now, an insider close to the blockbuster has revealed how the accident on set ‘wasn’t as bad’ as previously feared, though the star suffered a bump to the head.
The source said: ‘The accident wasn’t as bad as people think. A line snapped on a pull ring and he got a bump on his bonce.
‘Filming was supposed to start again in London on Thursday, but for now the production team have been told to stand down for two weeks.’
They added to The Sun: ‘Tom has been taking it easy as he had a suspected concussion and no one wants him to rush back to set.’
A spokesperson for the East Of England Ambulance Service previously said: ‘We were called at 10.30am on Friday to attend to a patient who had sustained an injury at Leavesden Studios in Watford.
‘An ambulance was sent to the scene, and the patient was transported to hospital for further care.’
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is the fourth film in the Multi Cinematic Universe, is believed to cost $200million, approximately £150million.
Despite the filming chaos, the movie is still on track for its July 2026 release date.
The Daily Mail revealed how the shutdown in production is estimated to cost bosses an eye-watering £1.5million a day.
Industry sources explained how costs for crew, studio space and equipment rental would still continue despite the pause.
An insider said: ‘It’s a headache for any production to have to pause filming, but with a movie of this scale it will be a huge migraine for the producers and studio.
‘Crew still need to be paid throughout the delay and there is also secondary location costs to consider.
‘While health and safety comes first, everyone on the shoot will be hoping to get the cameras rolling again sooner rather than later.’
Emeka Egbuonu, a film director, also told to the Daily Mail: ‘On a production the size of Spider-Man, which carries a $200million budget, the daily running costs are immense.
‘Once you factor in cast, crew, set locations, equipment, and the logistical machine that keeps a blockbuster moving, each day of filming can cost between $1.5 and $2million [£1.1m and £1.5m]
‘The challenge is that even when filming halts, many of those costs don’t disappear — the crew still need to be paid, sets need to be maintained, and equipment continues to be on hire.’
He added it represents a ‘significant financial hit for the studio and putting added pressure on schedules and delivery timelines’.
