On February 24, Tom Holland took to Twitter to share his opinion on the cricket stadium in Gujarat's Motera that was rechristened the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Tom Holland tweeted, "I'm a huge admirer of the modesty Modi showed in naming the world's largest cricket stadium after himself (sic)." He then added, "Not always a good sign for countries when leaders start pulling that trick...(sic) ."

Now, before you wonder why the Spider-Man star has an opinion on this, let us clear the air for you. Tom Holland who made the sarcastic comment on the Modi stadium isn't the Spider-Man actor. He is actually an English author who has published best-selling books on classical and medieval history. He is also a cricketer and avid cricket fan.

The top reply is literally someone complaining that the Queen has an Olympic stadium named after her so Tom Holland so why shouldn't Modi. 😂

Not familiar with Indian politics obviously, but does Modi have a cult following like other strong men leaders?

I was going to wonder why the Spider-man actor will have strong feelings regarding of an Indian Cricket stadium being named after a politician from there until I finished reading the post

Edit: wrong tom


Forget the rest here :
He is right but why do hollywood people always need to get political ? Goes for both sides with the latest example Gina carano. Just do your job and don't play captain planet .

Iam sure disney and sony are pissed right now. What was the point ? Iam sure they won't change the name of the stadium because tom holland thinks it's a shit move .

Sounds like one of them should start going by Tommy Boy Holland to avoid confusion in the future.

There's also a minor celebrity named Tom Holland in Canada, who presents fitness related stuff, and competes in marathons. (Though I think he's actually American.)

Famous Tom Hollands around the world, unite!
