Another comment read, "Imagine if a guy tried the exact same thing with Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande. What a crazy world we live in."
On Sunday, Tom took to his X account to share a snapshot of himself from the Paris Olympics, clad in a white shirt and black jacket. He wrote in the caption , “Thank you, Paris! Now off to LA.”
The worst kind of people in audiences. Absolute zero respect for personal space. If it had been a man with a woman people would already be looking for all his information to burn him alive.
