AIBU to think that Tom Holland in GQ looks like a wide boy from the 70s/80s

I’ve just been reading through the free articles on apple news and because my kids adore Tom Holland I thought I’d open and have a look. Sheesh, he’s adopted a look straight out of the book of men my mother would tell me to avoid. The kind of men that would feel the chat line “get your coat, you’ve pulled” was fab. I’m 52 and to be honest if you worn born after 1983 you’ve probably never come across this sort of ‘look and this has no relevance to you, but if you’re older - do you agree??? It’s weird how fashions come around again and again, so whilst my kids think something is ultra fashionable I might think my granny would have worn it. So whatever else this is not a comment on Tom Holland’s fashion sense cos if he’s in GQ then presumably he’s been attired appropriately, but bloody hell he looks like a wide boy straight out of the 70s/80s. Anyone agree? If you’re younger please please don’t vote! This is about how fashion goes around in circles and not a comment on Tom Holland looking awful or not. But its weird having to see fashion repeating itself so quickly - is this because of the internet, because a new fashion can be distributed globally so fast? Would love a discussion, but equally accept everyone may not be so fascinated! I’m a psychology grad - always examine society!

Zero idea how he landed Zendaya!

@VirgilStarkwell

Let’s not forget his great-grandad, Tom Hollandaise. He was SAUCY.
😂

Zendaya is also ace on it

Can't believe she's going out with him

He's punching

Waay below his weight! Grin

ShinyMe Me three! Love Tom Hollander so it’s always a bit disappointing.

Also he looks like Jamie Bell’s younger brother I think.

Well, they were both Billy Elliott…

Oh I didn’t know that!

Re Zendaya I thought she was going out with Timothee Chalamet, I obviously think TC and TH are the same person! Also is it not a showmance type thing?

You cannot watch him do the Rhianna dance and not find him attractive. He is my secret (not so secret crush) dh doesn't mind as he thinks he is the best Spider-Man whilst in Spider-Man mode if that makes sense. When Peter Parker he prefers Toby Maguire. I also adore how Tom Holland claims to be "not very flexible" . Sure.

You can't watch that Lip Sync dance and not have a wee bit of heart throbbing, surely?

Um... if that refers to the weird dancing clip above, then yes, yes you can.

He's too clean cut, his face doesnt have much experience so even though the clothes are a bit 1970's he doesnt look like a Bodie & Doyle wannabe.

Now you've got me thinking..... Starsky & Hutch Smile

My DS, early 20's, goes out looking like Val Doonigan these days. Thick knit polo neck and cord jacket with fun fur type collar. I get transported back to my childhood in the 70s every time I see him 🤣🤣🤣

@PearlclutchersInc

Oooh! I bloody loved Bodie and Doyle!

ItsDisneyBitch · 21/11/2021 10:13

I have a crush on him of epic proportions that is entirely inappropriate for my age.

Wills · 21/11/2021 23:06

Umm bodie the whole way1. Anyone who fancied Doyle was a loser!
