“I have a favor to ask of you. My son Billy turns three years old today, we watch both of your Spider-Man movies over and over and over again. We promised him that the real Spider-Man would come to his party. Now, of course, we were just going to hire a guy in a suit, but now nobody’s coming to his party. His party is just us, and I was wondering if you’d say hello to him.”
Ever the people’s sweetheart, the Far From Home actor was more than happy to do the favor to Kimmel. He went as far as doing his best to dress up as the superhero as best as he could under the circumstances.
