Zendaya Praises Tom Holland’s Work Ethic and Dedication as Spider-Man

Zendaya recently spoke highly of her co-star Tom Holland in an interview with InStyle. While not explicitly confirming their rumored relationship, she did express her admiration for him.

When asked about Holland, Zendaya highlighted his passion for the Spider-Man role. “He really loves being Spider-Man,” she said, acknowledging the pressure that comes with it. She went on to praise his ability to handle the constant public expectation of being Spider-Man.

Zendaya also revealed a newfound appreciation for Holland’s work ethic. She described him as a perfectionist, finding humor in the fact that he isn’t a Virgo, a zodiac sign often associated with perfectionism.

Their time working together on “Spider-Man: Homecoming” seems to have fostered a deeper respect, with Zendaya specifically mentioning how impressed she was by his dedication on set.

“Our director allowed me to come in every day [of the shoot], and it was cool to see how he cares so much about his work and making it right,” Zendaya told Brown.

“I watched him do a fight scene all day, which is exhausting. He’d do a move, come back to the monitors, watch it, and say, ‘I can do that better.’ I’d be like, ‘Dude, you got it.’ But he wants us to be perfect, and I really appreciate that,” Zendaya said.

Zendaya and Holland’s third Spider-Man movie together, No Way Home, opens on Dec. 17.

Opening up further about Holland, Zendaya later raved during the interview that he’s a “fun time.”

“Very charismatic, can make anybody feel comfortable and have a good laugh and a good chat. A good chat — I sound so British,” she joked to Brown.

Zendaya’s kind words about Holland come after he wished her a happy birthday with a cute birthday tribute last month.

“My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when your up xxx,” Holland wrote alongside a cozy mirror selfie of the two still in their Marvel costumes.

“Calling now♥️,” Zendaya replied just a few hours later, as seen by Comments by Celebs.
