Speaker A
Even just this alone. Tom Holland is known for being one of Hollywood's most charismatic actors, but whenever Zendaya is around, keeping a straight face simply isn't an option.
Speaker A
That's why nobody makes Tom Holland laugh like Zendaya. What are Peter's last words to Tony Stark before he gets dusted and then thinks he didn't? I don't want to go. I don't want to go.
Speaker A
I don't want to go. Not that one? No. Yeah. It is not. I say, "You go, I don't want to go. I don't want to go. I don't want to go."
Speaker A
No, no, no. And then you're like, I say, "I'm sorry." Oh, okay. Their chemistry is so natural that even they end up surprising themselves sometimes.
Speaker A
Can't you like live off avocados? Yeah, I would. Me and you are like this today. Oh my, it's definitely—you'd have to take avocados.
Speaker A
Yeah. You'd have to. Like from a pure logistical standpoint, it'd have to be avocados.
Speaker A
Yeah. Looking at their friendship today, you'd never guess what their very first Spider-Man Homecoming auditions were like.
Speaker A
The two of them can turn even the most random topic into a joke. How do you deal with the Frappuccinos though? Don't you like iced coffee though, Tom?
Speaker A
I just put it past my teeth. I put the straw past my teeth like that.
Speaker A
Yeah, I would hope that no one’s like drinking through a straw through their teeth?
Speaker A
Through their teeth. Oh. That's weird. Oh, that'd be awful. You just proceed to explain how everyone in the world drinks with a straw.
Speaker A
And check out the hobby she ended up picking up while tagging along with Tom on set.
Speaker A
Uh, I just made everyone scarves 'cause I couldn't. I was like, "What am I going to get everybody for Christmas?" I was like, "I'll just make them some scarves." That's what I'm doing all day.
Speaker A
Yeah. Like them or not. We've been doing like the most intense fight scenes on set and you used to come to set to watch quite a lot.
Speaker A
Yeah. And I'd be there, I'd come and have blood all over my face, I've been fighting the Goblin and I'd turn around and you'd just be there knitting.
Speaker A
I'd be like, "Hey, how's it going?" Yeah, it's good. Even their height difference ended up creating a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment.
Speaker A
Because of our height difference, I obviously, if we're on the same point, attached when we were—we were attached, I would land before him 'cause my feet obviously hit the ground before he does.
Speaker A
So, what would happen was there's a—it's called a bottom mark, isn't it? And the bottom mark is to basically—it's a thing that they do in stunts that is basically designed to stop you shattering your kneecaps.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. So, Zendaya would land and I'm the superhero, I'm supposed to look cool.
Speaker A
And she would land and then I would sort of land like this and my feet would swing from underneath me and then she would catch me.
Speaker A
During a game of cup pong, Tom Holland refused to let a single ball in.
Speaker A
Aggressive. OH NO. UH-UH. IT WAS SPINNING, IT WAS SPINNING. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED to do.
Speaker A
And when Zendaya and Jacob tried to copy him, this happened. I'm doing it. No, bro.
Speaker A
No. NO. OH, WE TRIED IT. GOD DAMN IT. WHAT IS THIS GUY DOING TO ME?
Speaker A
APPARENTLY, not even their sweetest moments are safe from her jokes. Uh, one of the best things about playing Spider-Man is getting to work with Zendaya.
Speaker A
One of the best things about playing MJ is getting to work with Tom Holland.
Speaker A
Yes. And she didn't miss the chance to embarrass Tom just a little bit. The one that's my favorite is that one where we just start singing out of nowhere.
Speaker A
Um, the Billy Elliot one. There's a—you have to find it, it's amazing. And you just all of a sudden it's like, "I can't really explain it." I can't really explain it.
Speaker A
But you know what's funny? I haven't got the words. It is when I did that, I thought I was like, "I've made it. I'm going to be a movie star. I've been on television and I sang and it was glorious."
Speaker A
It's so cute. When the conversation turned to cooking, Tom probably regretted answering that question.
Speaker A
And Zendaya claims that she's a really good cook. Well, I've never really—I’ve never really had—To be fair, that black bean burger thing you made the other day was actually really good.
Speaker A
And I—Listen, I've never—I’ve never had one of your dishes that was so fancy and special. So specialize in meat dishes and you're vegetarian, so—Yeah. And the meat dish I heard you made, your brother said was awful, so I don't
Speaker A
know. Awful. It was just a tad slightly overcooked. And when I say ever so slightly, I mean at least 20 minutes. It was in there for too long.
Speaker A
I do these roast potatoes that will knock your socks off. Talking all this, but I have yet to taste it, so—Putting these two together with a bunch of puppy dogs could only end in chaos.
Speaker A
Oh. Oh, wow. What is happening? What is happening? This is a puppy. I'm going to lie down. Come on, guys.
Speaker A
Come and get me. Why couldn't we have had these puppies all day? And during this challenge of Tom's American accents, nobody could stop laughing.
Speaker A
Can you do an American—American accents for different places? I can. Where would you like me to go in America?
Speaker A
Oh, see there you go. TEXAS. TEXAS? I CAN DO TEXAS. OKAY, WHAT ABOUT YOU? NEW YORK. New York is—Wow, I can't get it.
Speaker A
How about you? California, bro. I can do your manager. Oh, yeah. Jesse? Everything is like—Everyone remembers the show Tom put on during Lip Sync Battle, but the moment it was Zendaya's turn, he was completely speechless. Years later, the two of them
Speaker A
still couldn't talk about that performance without cracking up. So stressful and we did such a good job.
Speaker A
Want to add also, he made it seem like we were going to, you know, we were like, "Let's keep it chill, like let's not do too much, we're just going to like do a good job, we're not going to
Speaker A
stress ourselves out and we're just going to like coast," right? Come to show day, there is rain and costume changes and sparklers and backflips.
Speaker A
I didn't have any sparklers. Yes, there were. You came out of a private jet and out of a cannon full of confetti.
Speaker A
And you—you showered me in dollar bills. Say that all that was happening. Okay? There were two songs. It's Lip Sync Battle, you're supposed to pick one song. How did he—was he able to do two?
Speaker A
I don't know. Feels like—Feels like that breaks the rules and there's a rule book somewhere. We should look back.
Speaker A
But everyone knows that rules are there to be broken. One of the sweetest moments is hearing how Tom told Zendaya they wanted her for The Odyssey.
Speaker A
Tom got the call. Ooh. Okay. Nolan called and my heart was just so full. I was so excited for him.
Speaker A
We love Tom. He's the best and he deserves it. He deserves it. And I was just so excited and also I'm, you know, I'm obviously his biggest fan, but I'm also a Chris Nolan fan. Okay, so I—I looked
Speaker A
um and then he went off to his meeting and then when he came home, I was like, okay, like tell me all about it, like how was he? What was it like? You know what I mean? I was like so ready, so
Speaker A
excited and he goes, "Read this again," and I was like, "What? Why?" Like I—but just read it. Like we just read it last night and he's like, "Read it again but with a scene in mind." And I was like,
Speaker A
Okay. Yo, stop it right now. There's one foolproof way to make Tom burst out laughing and Zendaya knows it better than anyone.
Speaker A
No, Zendaya. Immediately. No. Immediately disarmed. Yeah, I—Hey! I don't like being tickled. Even just this alone.
Speaker A
No, me neither. Ooh, I don't like being tickled. Let's hold hands, shall we? And who would have thought those kids would leave all three of them completely speechless?
Speaker A
It has been 10 years since your film Spider-Man: Homecoming. You've been in Spider-Man films as long as we've been alive.
Speaker A
Besides making Tom laugh non-stop, she's also constantly worried about one very real Spider-Man problem.
Speaker A
Like, you know, listen, it's one piece, so there's a helmet and there's all these things that go underneath it and I always have this fear that if he's like working really hard or something's happe—
Speaker A
up, per se, what's How How is he going to get it out? This is a genuine concern.
Speaker A
Yes. Right? So, it it I honestly Sometimes when I look at him, I'm like I I get a little scared cuz I'm like, "What if you like I don't know?" I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker A
It just stresses me out. Nobody expected even the iconic bully Maguire to get a tribute from Zendaya.
Speaker A
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson found out they'd be working together again in the funniest way possible.
Speaker A
How does this happen? How How does it all the drama? Then you're in the Odyssey and then Dune part three.
Speaker A
I wished on a star. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Well, the drama first, obviously, and I think we were both kind of sworn to secrecy with the Odyssey, so we didn't really tell each other, but we kind of had like a look.
Speaker A
kind of turned up on set and I was like, "Hey!" And no one would have guessed what could possibly make Hugh Jackman and Zendaya argue.
Speaker A
So, we're doing I'm not going to name the person because it's embarrassing, okay? The point is we're doing a stunt in front of Hugh Jackman. Now, I have very few scenes with Hugh Jackman and um I was very I was very nervous. It was
Speaker A
not you. It's not you. And um I was on my, you know, my A game cuz this is Hugh Jackman and I do not want to mess up. So, we're doing this this this this thing where I'm basically
Speaker A
up in the air and I spin down and I get caught and I heard a fart.
Speaker A
Now wait. We all heard the fart. We all heard the fart. IT WAS NOT ME.
Speaker A
They're laughing. The other person, okay, is laughing and Hugh was laughing. I'm like, "Okay, are we just going to like pretend like it didn't happen? Are we going to like laugh about it?" And what happened was the person, who was a
Speaker A
grown man, blamed it on me. Yeah. So, Hugh thought that I farted. No one thought that was a you, not one.
Speaker A
Even when she's responding to mean tweets, she somehow manages to be hilarious. I bet Zendaya's feet smell like Funyuns.
Speaker A
Let's check, shall we? Nope. Smells like success to me. All it took was someone asking how they first met for Zendaya and Robert Pattinson to start a hilarious argument.
Speaker A
Zendaya, do you remember and was it a a good first impression? I mean, you you have you think that something happened that didn't happen.
Speaker A
Oh. No, no, no, just what you said. Like you said we had a phone call when you were on Batman. I'm like, no.
Speaker A
That's just not true. It is. It literally is. Okay, cuz we have a friend We have a friend in common Okay.
Speaker A
they were FaceTiming while I was shooting Euphoria, but he was in he was in Batman mode.
Speaker A
Ah. And so, I think he didn't Did I have the call? in character. You had the the smoky eye. You had the whole thing.
Speaker A
And I was like I was like, "Hey." And you were like "Hi." Who would have thought she'd know Spider-Man better than Tom Holland himself? What did Peter say to Doctor Strange after introducing himself in Avengers: Infinity War?
Speaker A
Oh, I don't know. I say Oh, we're mating our used up Oh, no. No.
Speaker A
We're we're using We're mating our We're mating our used up names. Steve, we're we're using our made up names.
Speaker A
That's what I was trying to say. You were like Jumbling, BRO. YOU I'M SO TIRED.
Speaker A
YOU CAN WE'RE MATING OUR USED UP NAMES. I just was helping. Why do I keep We're mating our We're using We're using our made up names. There you go.
Speaker A
Speaking of first meetings, here's how she first met Timothée Chalamet. Real Kind of true.
Speaker A
Yeah, kind of true. But, at an airport before. But, it wasn't me. Like, we didn't a me. I saw We saw each other at Zendaya at a distance.
Speaker A
Yeah. I saw her going to first class, and I was like, "Damn." Meanwhile, he was nominated for an Oscar I think it's fine. We're doing fine for you.
Speaker A
Apparently, not even Timothée's middle name was safe from her. Hal Hal as in Yes.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. I can't get over the fact that that's your middle name. Like, what?
Speaker A
Hal as in Hal as in Hal. Hal as in Hal. Yeah. It's goes French, American, French.
Speaker A
Timothée Hal Chalamet Chalamet me up. Chalamet Chalamet And when Zendaya appeared on Wild 'N Out, she could barely hold back her laughter.
Speaker A
It only took one smart guy messing with her for her friends to jump in and make the whole situation even funnier.
Speaker A
Spit that water out so I can get YOUR NUMBER PLEASE. I GUESS I DIDN'T TOUCH HER.
Speaker A
SHE CAN HANDLE HERSELF. DON'T BE TOUCHING ON HER LIKE THAT. On another occasion, even a simple movie music challenge turned into a laughing fit between her and Robert Pattinson.
Speaker A
Well, let's go ahead, Rob. Oh my god. I don't I can't help you. I can help you with Dune.
Speaker A
I think I've got the game is very annoying now. But you can't really hum the Dune one.
Speaker A
Like the point is to be like, "Ah!" You know? I You can't hum that.
Speaker A
Is that Timothy doing that? It's not. No. It sounded like him when we were listening.
Speaker A
Really? I think it's a young woman. Do you Is there a Twilight theme song?
Speaker A
Is that the one that goes "Dum dum dum dum dum dum"? But that's Harry Potter, right?
Speaker A
It's Harry Potter. Anyone who's watched The Greatest Showman has no idea what happened whenever Zendaya and Zac Efron messed up a scene.
Speaker A
So, there's a specific like thing we do where basically we're holding our own weight, so there's no harnesses in this one, unfortunately. Um where we we're holding these two ropes and we are together and we swing apart from each
Speaker A
other. They lift us off the off the ground and of course that momentum of us swinging as far as we can go away from each other, we come back together and you know, we're supposed to grab onto each other with the other arm and begin
Speaker A
like this swing, which is in all the posters and it's beautiful and that's great.
Speaker A
But, if you don't catch each other, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh we actually have a uh little iPhone video clip of you guys working on the scene. Here is uh Zendaya and Zac Efron. Watch this.
Speaker A
It's not working. Move. That's not That's All it took was Timothy getting a little too poetic for her to completely lose it.
Speaker A
You could be the master of your fate. You could be the captain of your soul.
Speaker A
But you have to realize that life is coming from you and not at you. And that takes time.
Speaker A
Wow. Okay. Okay. Even while trying to explain Interstellar to her friend Hunter Schafer, Zendaya had everyone laughing.
Speaker A
Interstellar. Just explain the movie. help, I got you. Yeah, and it was Thank you for bringing this to us. We actually had to cut it down a little bit cuz it was It's like I cut it down before I sent it
Speaker A
to you. Thank you. Like it was like 10 minutes long. It's ex- extensive. It's worth it. Take a look at this.
Speaker A
Oh, no. Prior to this, in her life, she's been growing up with this thing in her room, right? And it's been knocking on her door and doing this.
Speaker A
That's what And she's saying that and she's telling her dad and dad's like "What?" You're not.
Speaker A
But dad, he follows one of those things and it takes him to NASA, which ultimately ends him up here, right? And then he goes off and whatever. In her life, while he's doing this crazy, this, when he gives her the coordinates,
Speaker A
WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING GO THERE. over here. And the best part is hearing Hunter herself talk about what that experience was like.
Speaker A
have a better understanding of the plot of that movie? Oh, yeah. I mean, no, I I think I had seen it before that moment, but I don't feel like I had really watched it or understood it until she got the
Speaker A
cardboard box and drew the graph out and you know, that was a small clip. It was like a 10-20 minute explanation. She is I mean, yeah, it's her favorite.
Speaker A
She built
