Jacob Batalon

Jacob Batalon opened up about his incredible weight loss journey during the COVID-19 pandemic, after committing to a plant-based diet and grueling workouts. While looking back on shedding 100 pounds, the Spider-Man: No Way Home star, 27, revealed what initially stalled his physical transformation. 'I've learned that I'm definitely able to commit,' he told E! News . 'That was something that hindered me before with my weight and with work.' The actor continued: 'I feel like it's easy to be on set all day, snack and just pass out in your trailer for a few hours. I've really had to control that side of me and be professional and on point with my health, because health is wealth.'

Darnell Appling, the actor's assistant, and Zendaya and her companion Timothee Chalamet were both at the birthday bash for Darnell Appling. The bash took place outside Pan Pacific Park in Los Angeles, with many visitors sporting 'Darnell's Freaknik'23" shirts.' The actors demonstrated their dancing moves at the party, with both of them showing off their rhythm in videos posted to fan pages.

It's been almost a year since "Spider-Man: No Way Home" was released in December 2021. Fans were thrilled by Tom Holland's, Zendaya, and Ned's return, but also Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire as other Peter Parkers, as well as Willem Dafoe as their legendary villains. The film was the perfect way to close such a lengthy chapter, but it left fans curious about Holland's future in the MCU. There is no word yet that Holland has signed a new contract with Marvel and Sony, although both actor and "No Way Home" producer Amy Pascal discussed his potential return after the film was announced. At present, rumors are circling online that Holland has signed a new Spider-Man trilogy as well as appearances in other MCU films, including the Daredevil Disney+ series and two planned Phase 6 Avengers movies.
