- Tom Holland said working on films with Zendaya is the “best thing” that’s happened to him.
- He said the couple can vent about what annoys them on set back at their hotel room.
- Holland and Zendaya have worked on three “Spider-Man” movies together.
Tom Holland said working on set with Zendaya, his girlfriend, is a “saving grace” because they can vent about what’s annoyed them when they get back to their hotel room.
Rumors of their relationship started in 2017 when they were working on “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” but they didn’t make things official (and public) until 2021 after photos of them kissing in public surfaced online.
They have starred in three “Spider-Man” movies together, and are expected to reprise their roles in the as yet untitled fourth movie.
On Wednesday’s episode of the “Dish” podcast, Holland briefly opened up about how the pair’s relationship is useful when they’re working on the same project.
He joked: “Studios love it. One hotel room. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen it’s work, alright?”
When asked about having Zendaya as his costar, he said: “Oh God, yeah. It’s a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that’s ever happened to me.
“It’s just that perfect thing when you’re on set and a director will give you a note that maybe you don’t agree with, or I know that she doesn’t particularly like, and it’s just that, like, familiar glance at each other of like, can’t wait to talk about that later.”
While Marvel Studios is still figuring out the plan for “Spider-Man 4,” the couple will next appear in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie for Universal Pictures.
The premise and title are currently being kept under wraps, although it’s rumored to be a futuristic action movie about helicopter cops in New York.
Holland said: “To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know anything about it. I’m super excited. Everything is very, very hush-hush. I met with him, it was awesome, he loosely pitched what it was. I’m sure when he’s ready, he’ll announce what it is.”
In November, Zendaya told Vanity Fair that working with Holland is “strangely comfortable.”
She said: “It’s like second nature, if anything. You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him. He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does.
“He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him.”
