A different fan lamented at their lack of gymnastic ability, as they said: "And I can't even do a handstand against a wall."

Tom's latest film, Chaos Walking, released earlier this year and he starred opposite Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley.

It had a tumultuous release and was delayed numerous times. In one instance, the movie's Twitter account wrote: "We know how important this movie is to a lot of you, so we wanted to make sure we gave you the best and safest viewing experience by pushing the date a little longer.

"We know you've all been patient, but it will be worth it."

The film also has an impressive supporting cast which includes Mads Mikkelsen, Nick Jonas, David Oyelowo and Kurt Sutter.

In an interview with Den of Geek, Tom defended the film's delays, saying: "It was a labor of love, and we all worked really hard. "It was a constant uphill climb. It was a really hard film and hard story to tell."

He added that he was "excited to see" the film once it released and recalled that he "had an amazing time making it."
