To think there's no way I'll be able to get this autograph for my son?

So my son is 13 and absolutely obsessed with Tom Holland. For Christmas he is absolutely desperate to get Tom Holland autograph and while I'm not fully convinced I'll be able to do this, I want to give it my best shot.

I looked on eBay and there are some 'genuine' ones but how the hell do you know if they are genuine? There's one for £100 for example....but it seems to risky to spend on something that I don't know if it's authentic or not.

Just to add...my sons autistic, he still believes in Santa and thinks Santa can bring him absolutely anything he asks! He did want original Pokémon cards that sell for ££££'a but we've managed to settle on this blooming autograph instead.

I've looked at fan mail addresses - most seem to be in the states.

Anyone ever done this with 'proper famous' people before and had success?

Just get a photo from the internet printed, then get busy with a Sharpie.

Write to his agent and ask! That’s how I get most of mine!

internet search says:

send your autograph request along with a self addressed stamped envelope to:

We asked a few people a few years ago, Daniel Radcliffe was lovely. JK Rowling not so much

I don't know who tom Holland is, but make out it's your wedding, send a request for a signed photo

Why would you do this?

Pretty sure the OPs son doesn't want a photo signed "Getal, congratulations on your wedding day"

Why would he be more likely to do this than to actually do something nice for a 13 year old boy?
