  • Historian gets mistaken for actor Tom Holland, gets swamped by messages from Bollywood fans

    Ever thought getting mistaken for a celebrity would be a life changing adventure? Turns out reality is far more bizarre than fiction.

    At the launch of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center, or as we call it ‘Ambani Gala’, celebrities from all over the world showed up dressed to the nines and had the time of their life. Present among them were Hollywood model Gigi Hadid, and actors Zendaya and Tom Holland rubbing shoulders with the who’s who of Bollywood.

    Holland, renowned for playing Spiderman, only has one social media account on Instagram. However, as photos of the actor posing with Indian celebrities showed up online, Bollywood fans didn’t realise that the Marvel superstar is not on Twitter.

    They tagged another Tom Holland in their tweets, a historian from London.

    The case of mistaken identity later kickstarted a hilarious sequence of Bollywood fans spamming Holland with pictures of an event he definitely did not attend.

    Twitter users found this mistake extremely funny.

    I mean who wouldn’t want to be mistaken for a Marvel star?

    Nanjiani wore a Sherwani by a Pakistani designer Umar Sayeed.

    The Stuber star revealed to the Hollywood Reporter, “I wanted to wear a Sherwani because 1. They look awesome and 2. My costume in the film always reminded me of Sherwanis. And I wanted to use a designer in Pakistan, not just a Pakistani designer in the U.S. So I called my mom, she gave me names of three amazing designers in Pakistan.”

    His stylist, Jeanne Yang, and the actor ultimately connected with the House of Umar Sayeed, a designer based in Karachi, Pakistan, via Instagram.

    Directed by Oscar-winning Chinese director Chloé Zhao (The Rider, Nomadland), Eternals is the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    ‘Avengers: Endgame’ fan breaks world record by watching the film 191 times in cinemas

    Iron Man may have finally defeated Thanos with one consequential snap in Avengers: Endgame, but a fan snapped a worldwide record of his own recently.

    Marvel superfan Ramiro Alanis, a Florida-based personal trainer, officially holds the Guinness World Record for watching Avengers: Endgame 191 times in cinemas – the most times anyone has watched the film.

    As per details, Alanis completed the feat on July 29, 2019, according to the certificate he received, just over three months after the movie hit theatres on April 26, 2019.

    Alanis watched the movie 191 times in 94 days, averaging out to just over two screenings per day to get to the record.

    The commitment took a lot out of Alanis.

    Speaking to Guinness, the trainer said: “The most difficult part about this attempt was giving up my social life with my family, the gym (I lost 16 pounds of muscle) and managing my work hours and screening times at the theatres.”

    It was all worth it when he received the official email confirmation, with Alanis saying tears flooded his eyes.

    He said he couldn’t have done it without “the support I got from family, friends, managers and staff from the theaters I visited” as well as the fellow Marvel fans cheering his journey on social media.
