Actors have been dating each other since 2021. Tom Holland has joked about the reason why film studios love him and his girlfriend of three years, Zendaya, starring in the same films. The Spider-Man star, 28, has been dating the Challengers actor, 28, since 2021. They were recently cast alongside each other in Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming project with Universal.

Holland and Zendaya first met on the set of 2016’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and have gone on to star opposite each other in 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Nolan’s new film, which will reportedly also star Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon, marks Zendaya and Holland’s first joint on-screen appearance in a non-Spider-Man film.
Holland recently confirmed he agreed to star in Nolan’s next film without any knowledge of what it was about. The Crowded Room actor described receiving the offer from Nolan as “the phone call of a lifetime,” and said it felt akin to getting offered the role of Peter Parker a decade ago.
While the unnamed project marks the first time Zendaya and Holland will appear in a Nolan film, it’s the third Nolan movie for Hathaway, who previously appeared in The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar. Damon also appeared in Interstellar, as well as portrayed Lt General Leslie Groves in Oppenheimer.
Holland’s latest comments come shortly after the actor revealed last month he has a habit of Googling Zendaya to “check” on her. “I’m not on [social media], and I delete it when I’m not using it,” he explained.“So, sometimes, like, it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing.
