Zendaya Reveals Quality That Helped Tom Holland Win Her Over

Since first making their red carpet debut a the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home in December 2021, Zendaya and Tom Holland have become one of America’s favorite, if not most private couples. While promoting her upcoming film, Dune: Part Two, the 27-year-old actress gave some rare insight into the pair’s relationship, split rumors be damned.

Appearing in a Buzzfeed “Puppy Interview” video, Zendaya was asked about who has the most “rizz” of the sci-fi sequel’s cast. However, the Euphoria star evaded the question, and instead used it as an opportunity to gush about her boyfriend.

“Uh, me, hello,” she joked. “I don’t know, rizz is short for charisma, right? Everybody’s kind of got their own. I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but I—personally, worked for me, is Mr. Tom Holland.”

When asked a follow-up question of who’s got more rizz, her or Holland, Zendaya had only more glowing things to say about the 27-year-old English actor.

“No, definitely him in a sense that I’m more shy and like, kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell,” she explained. “But he’s great at just like talking to people and getting to know people. Like, you see him on talk shows and stuff, he’s just naturally very good at that. Whereas for me I’ve definitely had to like, pull it out of me a little bit. So he’s got that natural gift.”

Earlier in the interview, when asked who the last person she sent a meme to, Zendaya likewise admitted: “Probably Tom. Yeah, he gets the most of it.”

Dune: Part Two opens in theaters nationwide on March 1, 2024. We can only hope that these two turn up at the Los Angeles premiere together next week.
