Dexter Sol Ansell, the 11-year-old British actor who plays Egg in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, experienced one of the most exciting moments of the 2026 Emmys: he met Zendaya, one of his favorite actresses.
Before arriving at the ceremony, Dexter had said that he was especially excited to meet her, mainly because he is a huge fan of Spider-Man, the franchise in which Zendaya plays MJ.
But the surprise was even greater: Zendaya did not arrive alone. Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man and is her husband, was there too. The three posed together for a photograph that quickly began circulating on social media.
The young actor even revealed an unexpected detail: during the second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, he got to use the harness Holland had worn in one of the Spider-Man scenes.
The image of Dexter alongside the couple, dressed in an elegant embellished white suit, sparked a wave of affectionate comments. Many users highlighted his excitement and said that he seemed to be living a dream.
And for good reason: while his series competed for nine Emmy awards —and won one for its stunt work—, he ended up taking home a memory he will probably never forget.
Sometimes, the most special moment of a big night is not winning an award, but meeting someone you admired before you became a star.
