You don’t really realise something is missing until it is gone. In the context of this story, we’re talking about Spider-Man star Tom Holland and his hair, which is currently sitting in a bin somewhere.
After rocking some Prince Charming-esque locks for however many years and Spider-Man movies, Tom decided to shave it all off and rock a buzz cut look instead.
Seriously, take a gander:
Having become used to the Tom Holland curly-haired look over the last few years, it’s actually pretty jarring to see his luscious locks bite the dust (not unlike Spider-Man in Infinity War).
But in all honesty, Tom actually rocks the buzz cut look pretty damn well. That said, having a perfectly-proportioned head along with a face moulded out of clay by the gods certainly helps any hair cut, regardless how good or bad it is, go down easier.
Yet it appears we’re in the minority here because the internet had a field day grieving over Tom’s hair. Tears were shed, comparisons were made, tributes were held and many jokes were cracked.
To be honest, it was all pretty funny and Twitter was alight with some seriously creative responses:
As for why Tom Holland said bye bye to his hair, the reason isn’t as dramatic as what the internet might have you believe.
The buzz cut is all for a movie, Cherry, which tells the story of a former Army medic who comes back from Iraq with an extreme undiagnosed case of PTSD and he ultimately descends into a life of opioid addiction and crime.
For those who are still having panic attacks over Tom’s hair, I’ll say to you what I said when Joe Keery cut off his own stupendous locks: it’s just hair.
It’ll all grow back eventually and you’ll definitely see Tom rocking those curly locks once again when the new Spider-Man movie arrives.
