For Benson Boone, the blossoming friendship with Tom Holland is truly a delightful phenomenon. The singer of "Slow It Down" shed light on his nascent bond with the Spider-Man star, whom he was recently spotted socializing with at Soho House Holloway in West Hollywood, California. During an exclusive interview at the red carpet of the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26, Benson revealed to E! News, "He's an exceptional, wonderful human being."
But how did this unlikely duo forge a friendship? "It all started through word of mouth," Benson disclosed, "and before we knew it, the news had spread far and wide." In fact, Benson admires Tom so much that he readily admitted he wouldn't hesitate to serenade the couple at their wedding should Tom and Zendaya extend an invitation. "Absolutely, without a second thought," he enthusiastically responded during the interview, which aired on May 27 at 11 p.m. "I wouldn't miss that for the world."
Tom, 28, and Zendaya, also 28, made their engagement public at the 2025 Golden Globes on January 5, with the Euphoria actress showcasing a dazzling engagement ring. However, despite revealing their off-screen romance in 2021, the couple isn't rushing down the aisle anytime soon, according to Zendaya's stylist, Law Roach. "It's still a ways off," he told E! News' Erin Lim Rhodes in April. "They both have numerous film projects lined up this year and plenty of premieres on the horizon, so you can expect to see them gracing many red carpets." Law joked, "I'm gearing up for 2026."
Similarly, Benson is gearing up for an exciting journey ahead. It's been an exhilarating yet chaotic year for the "Beautiful Things" crooner. "It's challenging to keep pace with everything and feel on top of things," he confessed to E! at the AMAs. "So much is happening so swiftly, and it can be overwhelming at times. But I'm giving my best shot. I'm striving to do what I love and pursue it in a way that brings me joy."
Of course, besides his newfound friend Tom, Benson added, "I have a supportive team and a family who stand by me. What more could one ask for? So, I'm just doing my utmost out here."
