“We are like the best of friends. She’s so great and amazing,” Tom Holland said in an interview at the time.
“I’m a little worried (about dealing with fame but) Zendaya is super famous and she’s been through this and I just call her up and say, ‘How do I manage being famous?’ I’m very glad I have a friend like her,” he added. This was a sentiment that was also echoed by Zendaya in her own interviews.
