Anna Cathcart hasn’t made much of a secret when it’s come to revealing the one celebrity that she crushes on. What makes Cathcart’s celeb crush somewhat complicated, however, is that the object of her desire is sort of a combination of an actor and the superhero character that he portrays onscreen — or, to be more precise, that superhero’s non-hero, secret-identity persona, as opposed to the superhero himself.
“My celebrity crush is Tom Holland,” Cathcart told “YSBnow” in 2018, before adding some clarification. “But specifically, Peter Parker. Like, I love Tom, but Peter Parker’s even better.” She muddied the waters just a little bit in an interview with Refinery29 a few years later, when the “XO, Kitty” star was asked to describe the dream acting role she would love to take on. “The lead of a ’50s musical set in London, starring me and Tom Holland,” Cathcart declared, without clarifying whether Holland would be playing Peter Parker in said musical.
Whatever one may think of Cathcart’s revelation, there’s no denying that her crushing has been both incredibly specific and amazingly consistent from interview to interview. “I love Tom Holland in general, but specifically in ‘Spider-Man,'” she explained in a 2020 social media Q&A with fans. “Peter Parker is like the dream.”
