Zendaya Says Tom Holland Has "Charisma" for Days

Zendaya and Tom Holland are one of the internet's favorite couples for a reason — their love for each other goes both ways, with the latest example of their mutual adoration coming from the actress during the Dune: Part Two press tour.

The actress stopped by Buzzfeed for its puppy interview series and was asked which of her male co-stars from Dune, which includes Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler, has the most "rizz."

After jokingly replying, "Me! Hello?" Zendaya took a beat to assess the question and realized the person she knew with the most frizz was her boyfriend. "Rizz is short for charisma, right? Everybody's kind of got their own," she said. "I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but I know personally works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland."

She continued, "I'm more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell, but he's great at just talking to people and getting to know people. You see him on talk shows and stuff like that. He's just naturally very good at that. Whereas for me, I've definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He's got that natural gift."

Zendaya and Holland started dating in 2017 after meeting on the set of Spiderman: Homecoming. The pair didn't confirm their relationship until 2021 after paparazzi photos of them kissing surfaced online, which he addressed in a November 2021 interview with GQ.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in June, Holland remarked on his and Zendaya's choice to keep their relationship out of the public eye as much as they can. "Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of, and we want to keep as sacred as possible," he told the outlet. "We don't think that we owe it to anyone; it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."
