Spider-Man actor Tom Holland swerves swanky hotel for a stay in an Airbnb in Hemel Hempstead
The star even tipped the homeowner £100 following his week in the rental house
SPIDER-MAN actor Tom Holland swerved the swanky hotels popular with the rich and famous while filming - for a stay in an Airbnb in Hemel Hempstead.
The new superhero opted to spend a week in the four-bedroom rental home away from the glitz and glamour of more famous accommodation in London.
He set to become a household name when the new Marvel movie is released.
But the star showed his feet are still firmly on the ground.

A friend of the Airbnb owner, who did not want to be named, said: “He arrived shortly before Christmas and stayed for a week."
The source added: “He was filming nearby I think and was staying with his manager.
“I was helping the owner of the home get it ready. When he came we recognised him as the new Spider-Man."
The actor was thought to have paid around £500 for his stay in Hertfordshire – and even tipped the homeowner an additional £100 as a “kind gesture”.
The homeowner's friend said: "He was so down to earth and and seemed really nice.
"He was socialising with us and seemed like he liked being under the radar."
Holland is not the first celebrity to stay in an Airbnb.
