A Glasgow dad “cried” with tears of joy after his Spider-Man-loving son met his favourite hero Tom Holland during filming in the city centre.<\/a><\/p>\n Young Sam Arthur’s dream came true after going with his dad Robert to watch the filming for Spider Man: Brand New Day in Glasgow city centre when Tom Holland <\/a>came over to pose for a picture with him.<\/p>\n And after a cuddle and quick chat with his hero, it got even better for the seven-year-old and his dad, from Pollok, after he featured in a vlog of the superstar showing off his highlights filming in the city.<\/a><\/p>\n Sam has been a massive fan of Spider-Man<\/a> since the age of three, as Robert’s love of the superhero was passed down.<\/p>\n Delighted dad Robert, 26, told Glasgow Live<\/a>: “I said for him to temper his expectations, I didn’t think it would happen, but someone from the set came up to us and said to ‘stay there for now’.<\/p>\n “Suddenly, Tom finished the take and he started walking around with the mask back on. I said to Sam ‘he’s coming, he’s coming’.<\/p>\n “Sam started jumping up and down, he was so excited.”<\/p>\n Hollywood star Tom<\/a> took the time to pick up Sam and take pictures with the family, in what was a surreal moment for them both.<\/p>\n Robert said: “It was surreal. Especially when Tom asked him if he wanted to be lifted over the fence. Just talking about it still makes me smile.<\/p>\n “He was just full of smiles and happiness.<\/p>\n “He loves it. He talks about how he got to meet the Spider-Man, and it’s just so nice to see him happy about it.<\/p>\n “It was just really nice, Tom took the time to have a word with everyone there, especially the children. Tom’s a private person, but its nice to see that he’s a pretty nice person.”<\/p>\n After filming<\/a>, Robert posted pictures of his son and Spider-Man on X, where thousands of people from across the world responded with kind words for the Cleeves Primary School pupil.<\/p>\n He added: “I didn’t think it would go viral and I’ve had people from all over the world thanking me for sharing it.<\/p>\n “People have said to me that almost every actor has had famous pictures with children on set, and that Tom Holland now has Sam.”<\/p>\n And it got even better, when Sam even featured in a behind-the-scenes clip <\/a>posted by Tom on his social media.<\/p>\n “Robert added: “I’ll be honest, I cried a little, it really hit me, and I was just so happy.”<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n![\"Sam](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2_image-2.png\")
