Just days after Zendaya praised Tom Holland’s “rizz,” the actress mentioned her Tom Holland once again while promoting Dune: Part Two.
On Monday, Zendaya sat down with IGV Presents to discuss the film with her co-star, Timothée Chalamet. The interviewer asked the pair to choose “one thing” they would bring to the United States from the UK.
Of course, Zendaya immediately thought of her British boyfriend, Tom Holland, whom she’s been romantically linked to since 2016. She said: “Yeah, my boyfriend. I would just take him with me”.
The Challengers star laughed at her response. Chalamet, who was sitting right beside Zendaya in the interview, also appeared amused. The Wonka actor smiled in response to her comment and seemingly approved of her relationship with Tom Holland by telling her, “Yeah, that’s right!”
This wasn’t the first time Zendaya gave Holland a shoutout while doing press for Dune: Part Two. On Thursday, February 22, the actress name-dropped her famous boyfriend during an interview with Buzzfeed.
She was asked to pick who had the most “rizz” among her Dune: Part Two cast members. Instead of mentioning Chalamet, Austin Butler, or Florence Pugh, Zendaya chose Holland, who isn’t even in the film: “I think someone who has beautiful charisma — not on the Dune cast — but works for me is Mr. Tom Holland”.
The star explained that Holland is “great” at having conversations with people. She even said that his personality offscreen is exactly how it is on camera: You see him on talk shows and stuff like that; he’s just naturally very good at that.
Although the couple has been wrapped up in dating rumors since 2016, their relationship wasn’t officially confirmed until 2021.
