From Carpentry to Love: How Tom Holland Won Zendaya’s Heart
Tom Holland, known for his role in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, believes his relationship with co-star Zendaya is “worth its weight in gold” as they share their experiences in the same industry with mutual understanding.
In a conversation on the ‘Smartless’ podcast, Tom expressed his gratitude for having Zendaya in his life, saying, “I’m lucky that I have someone like Zendaya in my life. It’s interesting being in a romantic relationship with someone that is in the same boat as you. You can share your experiences and all that sort of stuff — and that’s worth its weight in gold.”
Tom playfully admitted to lacking charisma and relied on their on-screen chemistry to win Zendaya’s heart, stating, “I’m happy and in love, so I’ve got no need for rizz. I have no rizz whatsoever; I have limited rizz. I need you to fall in love with me, really, for it to work. So, long game. Probably making a movie with each other — it definitely helps when the characters are falling in love with one another; you can sort of blur the lines a little bit.”
In an amusing revelation, Tom humorously attributed his carpentry skills to winning Zendaya over, sharing, “Carpentry is something I just really enjoy. I love it. I made my mum’s kitchen table, I made my mum’s office. I built all the cupboards in my bedroom. I built a little birdhouse with my granddad. I fixed my girlfriend’s door once really early on in our relationship. I was hanging out at her house and her door was broken. I was like, ‘I’m gonna fix that door for you.’ And now we’re in love.”
As Tom and Zendaya continue to flourish in their relationship, their shared experiences and understanding in the entertainment industry have proven to be valuable foundations for their connection.
