Celebrity best friends, who aren't famous, become famous in their own right, when the fandom wants to know about their life. There's a lot more of them in Hollywood than you know. An example of this is Taylor Swift's non-famous best friend, Abigail Anderson.
Tom Holland has many Hollywood best friends, including Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jake Gylenhaal, his brothers and more, but one friend everyone might not know about is Harrison John Osterfield, who's real name is Harrison John Davy.
Super fans of the Spider-Man star know of the friendship between them and even have social media pages dedicated to Osterfield. The 25-year-old is making a career for himself, all thanks to his best friend. He was born on July 4, 1996, in Surrey, United Kingdom.

9 How Harrison Osterfield Met Tom Holland
