Benson Boone Details Surprising Tom Holland Friendship at AMAs 2025
For Benson Boone, his budding friendship with Tom Holland is a beautiful thing.
The "Slow It Down" singer gave insight into his new ties to the Spider-Man star, who he was seen hanging out with at Soho House Holloway in West Hollywood, Calif., earlier this month.
As Benson exclusively told E! News at the 2025 American Music Awards red carpet May 26, "He's a great, great human being."
But how did the pair become pals?
"Just word of mouth," Benson revealed, "and then it got around."
He's such an admirer of Tom, in fact, that he admitted he wouldn't turn down the opportunity to sing at Tom's wedding to Zendaya if asked.
"Immediate, yes, of course, of course," he said in the interview, airing May 27 at 11 p.m. "I'm not gonna pass that over."
Tom, 28, and Zendaya, 28, debuted their engagement at the 2025 Golden Globes on Jan. 5, when the Euphoria actress arrived with a giant sparkler on that finger.

However, the couple—whose offscreen romance was revealed in 2021—won't be heading down the aisle anytime soon, according to Zendaya's stylist Law Roach.
'It's far away,' he told E! News' Erin Lim Rhodes in April. 'They're both doing a bunch of movies this year and there's a lot of premieres next year so you'll see a lot of red carpets.'
Law teased, 'I'm resting up for 2026.'
And so is Benson. After all, it's been a "crazy year" for the "Beautiful Things" artist.
"It's hard to try and keep up with everything and feel like I'm on top of it," he told E! at the AMAs. "Just a lot coming and going very quickly, and it's a little overwhelming at times, but at the same time like I'm just trying my best. I'm just trying to trying to do what I love, and trying to do it in a way that makes me happy."
Of course, aside from his new friend Tom, he added, "I got a lot of people on my team that support me, and I have a family that supports me, and that's all you can really ask for. So I'm just doing my best out here."

Marine event 'chance to see weird and wonderful'
The festival of the sea is an "opportunity to show the weird and wonderful marine life that we have", a conservation charity has said. Organised by Manx Wildlife Trust, the annual event will be held at the Port Erin Breakwater from 10:00 until 16:00 BST on Saturday and Sunday. Lara Howe from Manx Wildlife Trust said: "This is our way in helping people to understand if we don't protect our oceans or seas, that is going to impact us on land." It will coincide with a naming ceremony of a new Atlantic 85 Lifeboat for the Port Erin RNLI station. Funded by the Gough Richie Charitable Trust, the new vessel is being named after Neil Crowe, who died last year from illness and helped set up the trust which has funded five lifeboats across the island. A ceremony which includes a service of dedication along with a performance by Rushen Silver Band will be held at 12:30 BST at Port Erin Breakwater, before the vessel gives a brief demonstration launch. The festival will include a series of tanks, soundology led by Amy Howse, the artist in residence for the charity, who will bring her singing plants and seaweed, as well as Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch. "We are a coastal island nation and as much as we spend a lot of time on and in the water, not many people get the opportunity to see what is beneath the water and experience the amazing marine life we have," Dr Howe said. The festival was "vital for conservation efforts" she said,. as it was raising awareness about the various species to help people see the "importance in wanting to protect and conserve them." It was a "family event" which bridged all age gaps, and "often the adults are just as excited as the children to see what is there", she added. Beach Buddies will also be supporting the festival and its truck will be situated at the slipway.
