Tom Holland had a hilarious meeting with someone special during the promotion of The Odyssey. The actor sat down for a special podcast episode with the author and historian Tom Holland, sending the internet into a frenzy over the ultimate real-life Spider-Man meme.

Tom Holland meets his historian name twin, recreates Spider-Man meme

Actor Tom Holland met the author sharing his name on the latter’s podcast, The Rest Is History. During the episode, the author Tom introduces his guest by saying, “I am Tom Holland and I have with me the real Tom Holland.” As such, the Marvel actor quipped, “Not the real Tom Holland. Just another Tom Holland.”

Thus, the author responded, “I know my place. And were I the kind of person who regularly Googled himself, I mean, you would have destroyed my ability to do that.” The English actor replied, “I’m sorry, Tom,” while his historian name twin said, “Well, I don’t Google myself so it’s absolutely fine.”

Netizens shared their reactions to this interaction, with one saying, “They did the meme. They did the meme.” Another one commented, “Here it comes. The crossover I knew I needed!” A third user wrote, “We have Tom Hollander, but today will we finally find out who is the Tom Hollandest?” One more shared, “My favorite historian meets the guy who always comes up when I Google search for him.” A fourth user stated, “Normal people will never understand but this is monumental for us nerds.

The internet has often seen confusion when these two are mentioned. Recently, Elon Musk’s post meant for the historian was mistaken for the actor. The businessman responded to an X post trolling the historian’s positive review of Christopher Nolan’s The Odysseyl.

“Tom Holland is such a c—,” Musk wrote. The author quoted Musk’s post, writing, “Very happy to say it again. The Odyssey is an amazing film, and missing out on seeing it because you think it’s woke or whatever is cutting off your nose to spite your face. Your loss.””
