Tom Holland, like most other celebrities that are now stuck at home, is putting his quarantine time to good use by raising money for charity through a “pub quiz” hosted on his Instagram account.
The Independent reports that Holland drew almost 200,000 people to his Instagram account to take part in a Marvel-themed “pub quiz” to benefit The Brothers Trust, which is his family’s charity organization.
Questions for the quiz ranged in difficulty from easy to extremely difficult. Some of the questions Holland asked include asking the number of Iron Man suits Tony Stark created in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to something as specific as the hotel room number MJ had in the movie, “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”
Even better for fans, Holland also reached out and chatted with them. According to Metro, the 23-year-old chatted with fans via video to find out why the chose the answers they did.
Of course, the effort did not go unappreciated by fans, who all gushed about the online pub quiz on Twitter. One fan called it the highlight of their month, while another said it made her day. Some fans also called for a repeat, enjoying how fun and chaotic it was.
Aside from Holland, numerous celebrities have also used their time in lockdown as a way to raise funds for charity, especially to provide relief for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic. As part of the All In Challenge, Gwyneth Paltrow put up for auction her “not Oscars material” to benefit the World Central Kitchen, Feeding America, Meals on Wheels America, and No Kid Hungry.
The “Living Room Concert for America” spearheaded by Elton John also raised $8 million for Feeding America as well as the First Responders Children’s Foundation.
Another celebrity that extended help to the organization No Kid Hungry is Angelina Jolie, who donated $1 million to help the organization provide food for 22 million schoolchildren as their schools have been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Celebrities may end up holding even more of these charity fundraisers as COVID-19 cases do not appear to be slowing down. In the Apr. 29 situation report provided by the World Health Organization, they revealed that there are now 3,018,952 confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide. Globally, 207,953 people have now died from COVID-19.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in their Apr. 29 of the COVID-19 situation in the United States, says there are now 1,005,147 people who have the disease. COVID-19 fatalities in the United States are now at 57,505 people.
