For Benson Boone, his budding friendship with Tom Holland is a beautiful thing.
The "Slow It Down" singer gave insight into his new ties to the Spider-Man star, who he was seen hanging out with at Soho House Holloway in West Hollywood, Calif., earlier this month.
As Benson exclusively told E! News at the 2025 American Music Awards red carpet May 26, "He's a great, great human being."
But how did the pair become pals?
"Just word of mouth," Benson revealed, "and then it got around."
He's such an admirer of Tom, in fact, that he admitted he wouldn't turn down the opportunity to sing at Tom's wedding to Zendaya if asked.
"Immediate, yes, of course, of course," he said in the interview, airing May 27 at 11 p.m. "I'm not gonna pass that over."
Tom, 28, and Zendaya, 28, debuted their engagement at the 2025 Golden Globes on Jan. 5, when the Euphoria actress arrived with a giant sparkler on that finger.

However, the couple—whose offscreen romance was revealed in 2021—won't be heading down the aisle anytime soon, according to Zendaya's stylist Law Roach.
'It's far away,' he told E! News' Erin Lim Rhodes in April. 'They're both doing a bunch of movies this year and there's a lot of premieres next year so you'll see a lot of red carpets.'
Law teased, 'I'm resting up for 2026.'
And so is Benson. After all, it's been a "crazy year" for the "Beautiful Things" artist.
"It's hard to try and keep up with everything and feel like I'm on top of it," he told E! at the AMAs. "Just a lot coming and going very quickly, and it's a little overwhelming at times, but at the same time like I'm just trying my best. I'm just trying to trying to do what I love, and trying to do it in a way that makes me happy."
Of course, aside from his new friend Tom, he added, "I got a lot of people on my team that support me, and I have a family that supports me, and that's all you can really ask for. So I'm just doing my best out here."
