Meeting a fellow star can be a surreal experience—especially when that star happens to be Tom Holland, the beloved face of Spider-Man. Jack Quaid, known for his role as Hughie in Amazon Prime Video’s hit series The Boys, recently shared a memorable encounter with Holland that left him both starstruck and amazed.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Quaid opened up about the moment he realized just how far The Boys had reached—even catching the attention of Hollywood’s biggest names. “I remember meeting Tom Holland very briefly at a party once, and he was like, ‘Oh, The Boys.’ And I was like, ‘There’s no way that Spider-Man knows who I am. That’s crazy,’” Quaid recalled, capturing a moment fans love—when two worlds collide.
The Boys has cemented itself as a critical and fan favorite, with four seasons earning rave reviews and maintaining a certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Seasons 2 and 3 received particularly high acclaim, scoring 97 and 98 percent respectively, while the first season boasts a 91 percent fan rating on Popcornmeter, based on thousands of viewer votes.
With filming wrapped for Season 5 and a 2026 release on the horizon, excitement continues to build around the show’s final chapter. The anti-superhero satire has become a cultural touchstone, attracting a wide audience—including fellow actors like Holland.
Tom Holland, who has portrayed Spider-Man since 2016, is also gearing up for the next installment in his own franchise. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is slated for release on July 31, 2026, promising more adventures for the web-slinging hero.
For Jack Quaid, the chance meeting with Holland was a humbling reminder of how far The Boys has come—and proof that even Hollywood’s biggest stars are fans of the gritty, darkly comedic world he helps bring to life.
