Tom Holland Shares Sweet Glimpse Into Date Night With Girlfriend Zendaya
Tom Holland is swinging into a new project.
The Spider-Man: No Way Home star will be flexing his producing muscle alongside brother HarryHolland and Will South with their new company Billy17, which just signed a deal with Sony Pictures—the studio behind Tom and girlfriend Zendaya's Spider-Man series.
"I've had an incredibly happy and successful relationship with Sony Pictures for almost a decade," Tom said in a Dec. 12 press release, "so they felt like the perfect partner to launch our production company with."
The 28-year-old added that he's been eager to try his hand at producing "for some time now," and he and his partners are "incredibly excited to bring entertaining, and rewatchable movies to the big screen."
Billy17 already has several projects in development, including Burnt, with Tom set to star in a script penned by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse writer Rodney Rothman. They're also planning for an adaptation of Graeme Simsion's bestseller, The Rosie Project, as well as Teddy Wayne's The Winner—which Tom will also star in.
And while this marks the first time the Uncharted actor is getting into the production side of filmmaking, it's hardly his first venture outside acting, as he recently launched his non-alcoholic beer brand Bero.

Tom was inspired to get into the non-alcoholic scene thanks in part to his own sobriety journey, especially because of how being sober for the past three years has changed his life.
"One of the biggest things I learned after getting sober was how much I could handle and how more capable I am in certain situations," he shared with Good Morning America in October. "I think dealing with adversity and being on set—sets are very busy places, they're very stressful—I think back in the day I would have allowed it to stress me out a lot more."

He added, "But since getting sober, I can really take it in my stride and get on with it and just enjoy everything about my day."
And he's grateful to have had an incredible support system around him, including Zendaya.
"I really realized who my real friends were," Tom explained. "I realized I had a lot of friends that the only thing I had in common was that I really liked drinking. Enjoying a nightlife experience with them, without the pressure of having a drink, was really a beautiful experience."
