Tom Holland ‘loves’ that Zendaya is very honest with him
Honesty is the key to any relationship, and Tom Holland says he never has to worry about his girlfriend Zendaya sugar-coating the truth.
“Zendaya is probably the most honest with me, which I love because you need that,” Holland, 27, said during a SAG-AFTRA Foundation conversation shared via YouTube on Friday, December 1.
Moderator Chris Gardner asked which of his colleagues he turns to for acting criticism. In addition to Zendaya, who Holland met while working on the Spider-Man movies, he quoted Marvel costars Robert Downey Jr. And Benedict Cumberbatch as trusted advisors.
“Downey is very honest – sometimes a little too honest,” Holland joked. “I greatly respect Downey’s opinion. He taught me so much and I always sing his praises, and I love him. I admire him. I don’t know if you’ve seen it Oppenheimer not yet, but he’s definitely faltering in it. He steals the movie for me.”
The British actor added: “Benedict Cumberbatch is someone I ask for a lot of advice about acting.”

Doug Peters/PA Images/INSTARFans won’t be surprised to hear that Holland didn’t hesitate to say Zendaya before shouting out his Avengers: Infinite War costars. Since they were spotted kissing in a car in July 2021 – they confirmed their long-rumored romance – the Full room star has slowly opened up more and more about their relationship.
“Zendaya and Tom really tried their best to keep their romance under wraps when they first started dating,” a source exclusively shared We weekly in June. “Before they started seeing each other, they had both always been very private when it came to their personal lives. It was something that bonded them in the early stages of their relationship as they were both on the same page when it came to avoiding public speculation.”
Marvel stars who dated each other
Marvel movies aren’t exactly known for their compelling romantic moments, but there are a handful of iconic couples who manage to keep love alive while saving the world: Pepper Potts and Tony Stark, for example, or Vision and Wanda Maximoff. The film and TV empire also features a few off-screen love matches, though many of them […]
Although both initially “preferred to keep to themselves,” they decided it was foolish to hide their relationship while everyone knew about it. “That has changed over time and they recognize that everyone knows they are together,” the source shared Us. “So Tom is proud to call Zendaya his girlfriend and express how much he loves her because he wants the world to know.”
Holland publicly declared his love for Zendaya in a June interview with BuzzFeed. “I’m locked up, so I’m happy and in love. So I don’t need the rizz,” he said at the time, referring to the slang term for “charisma” when it comes to flirting.
