Since the release of his anticipated film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Tom Holland has been making the red carpet rounds.

Fans noticed that Holland wears a very similar expression when he poses for pictures -- lips pursed together with his cheeks ever so slightly puffed out -- and wondered what it was all about.

Tumblr came up with a plausible answer for Holland's peculiar blue steel -- there's a frog chilling out in his mouth. Holland wears that tight lipped expression so that said frog doesn't escape.

The ridiculous theory became a popular meme on the blogging site. Someone even created a Tumblr account dedicated to the frog that Holland is hoarding.

You don't have to hide it anymore, Tom. Let the frog out.
