Last summer, seven-year-old Bridger Walker made headlines when he jumped in front of a charging dog to save his sister. And his heroic act caught the attention of Tom Holland, the actor who plays Spider-Man. Tom commended Bridger for his bravery and invited him and his family to the set of the newest Spider-Man movie.
Bridger’s dad, Robert, shared about the family’s time on set on his Instagram and showed videos and photos of his kids spending time with the cast and crew. Tom took Bridger web-swinging, taught him Spider-Man’s signature move, and even gave Bridger his own Spider-Man mask.
Robert said that Tom and other cast members “made our kids feel like stars.” In his Instagram caption, he wrote: “The look on the kids’ faces was priceless when we rounded the blue screen to see Tom, in full costume, high above the set on a light post. It was emotional to see him wave at the kids like he was the one that was supposed to be excited – not the other way around.”
He continued, “A short time later, Tom and Zendaya came over. I will never forget the grace and kindness they showed our children. Zendaya immediately approached my teenage daughter and told her how much she loved her nails. I don’t know if she will ever know how much that simple act means to me – to see my sweet daughter light up with self-confidence and joy.”
What an incredible day on set for Bridger and his family! This brave little boy who saved his sister from a dog attack is already a hero, but how fun for him to meet a Marvel superhero!
