Tom Holland opens up on what it’s like working with Zendaya

Tom Holland and Zendaya are undeniably one of the most adored couples in Hollywood, both on-screen and off. They never shy away from showing their love for each other, constantly praising one another during interviews. Just a month after Zendaya shared her experience of filming Spider-Man movies with her boyfriend, Holland has now opened up about what it’s like working alongside Zendaya. And, let’s just say, it’s enough to make anyone feel a little envious of their relationship.

In a recent Christmas special of the Dish podcast, the host asked Holland the burning question we’ve all been dying to know: What’s it like to act alongside his girlfriend, Zendaya? His response was nothing short of heartwarming. Holland, clearly smitten, shared, “Oh God, yeah. It’s a saving grace. Yeah, the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” If that doesn’t make your heart melt, I don’t know what will!

But before getting all gushy, Holland joked about the logistics of working together, saying, “Studios love it. One hotel room. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen, it’s work, alright?” Sure, Tom, it’s work, but can you really complain when your “work” involves spending nearly every moment with the person you love? Thankfully, he soon admitted how amazing it is to work with Zendaya, describing it as the “perfect thing.”

Holland elaborated, explaining that when they’re on set and a director gives them feedback they may not fully agree with, they share a glance, knowing they’ll be able to talk about it later. That kind of unspoken connection and support is something special, especially when you’re working so closely with someone you deeply care about.

The two have appeared together in three Spider-Man movies so far—Homecoming (2017), Far From Home (2019), and No Way Home (2021)—and their partnership isn’t ending anytime soon. They’re set to star in a fourth Spider-Man film, as well as Christopher Nolan’s upcoming project, which also features Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, and a slew of other A-listers.

But before diving into these big projects, Holland revealed that he plans to spend Christmas with Zendaya’s family this year, though he kept the details under wraps. “I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun. Where we’ll be is a secret… to you guys. I’ll know where we’re going,” he teased.

Zendaya had previously shared in a November 2024 interview that working with Holland felt “strangely comfortable.” After all, the two started their romance while working together on their first Spider-Man film, Homecoming. As Zendaya put it, being on set together feels like “second nature” for them.

As much as we all wish we could be a fly on the wall for their post-filming chats, we’ll have to wait for the next interview or movie to get more glimpses of their undeniable chemistry. Until then, we’ll happily watch them continue to star in movies and share their love with the world—because, as they prove, true love really does exist.
