Spider-Man star Tom Holland gets unlikely marriage proposal after making young Scots girl with cancer's dream come true

Spider-Man star Tom Holland got an unlikely marriage proposal after making little Faye Taylor’s dream come true. The Hollywood actor took a break from filming to give a message to the nine-year-old, who is battling cancer.

Faye responded by saying she wants to marry the action star – and offered him a bag of sweets. Tom gave Faye, of Wishaw, Lanarkshire, a video tour of where he is staying.

He said: “Hi Faye, it’s Tom Holland here. I just wanted to send you a little video, send you my love and let you know we are all thinking about you. I am in New York making a TV show, which is going really well. But I wanted to send you some love and some positive vibes.

“Also to let you know we are all thinking about you and are all sending you well wishes. So, lots of love from me my friends my team – everyone at Marvel and Sony.”

Tom is filming movie Uncharted with Mark Wahlberg and Antonio Banderas.

Faye was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in May. She has been ­undergoing radiotherapy to slow down the incurable tumour and nearly £8000 has been raised by friends and family to help her dreams come true.

When Faye’s mum Elaine contacted the Les Hoey Dreammaker ­Foundation to tell them she loves Spider-Man and it’s star Tom, in true superhero style he got back to them in a flash.

An overwhelmed Faye said of Tom’s message: “It was awesome – I’m a huge Spider-Man fan and only like Tom Holland. He is the best and I like his hair, a nice man bun, and I like his accent. I want to party now. I want to marry him.”

Faye’s mum Elaine said: “I’m ­overwhelmed and really happy that she got that. It was unexpected. Her wee face was screwing up as she watched it and we saw inside his flat, too.”
