By Even in the absence of Tom Holland from the Dune 2 press tour, Zendaya has consistently brought up her actor-boyfriend in various interviews. Zendaya recently showered praise on Tom Holland, highlighting his ‘beautiful charisma’ during a playful session with puppies in a Buzzfeed interview as part of the Dune 2 promotional activities. When asked who possesses the most ‘rizz’ (charisma) in the Dune 2 cast, Zendaya, despite Tom not being part of the movie, immediately mentioned him.
In the interview, Zendaya shared with Buzzfeed, “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 know personally, works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland.” She went on to discuss their different approaches to social interactions, noting her shyness compared to Tom’s natural ability to engage with people effortlessly. Zendaya expressed how Tom excels at talking to and connecting with people, whether on talk shows or in public, attributing it to his innate gift.
In a recent public appearance after the premiere of Dune: Part Two in London, Zendaya and Tom Holland were seen holding hands, dispelling any lingering breakup rumors. In a video captured by X, Tom was seen escorting Zendaya to their car.
Zendaya and Tom Holland first crossed paths in 2016 on the set of Spider-Man, with dating rumors surfacing a year later in 2017. Despite maintaining a low-key relationship, they publicly confirmed their status with a kiss in 2021. Zendaya is currently receiving acclaim for her role in Dune 2, a Denis Villeneuve film featuring an ensemble cast including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, and Anya Taylor-Joy. Her upcoming project includes Challengers alongside Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist.
