Zendaya Name Drops Tom Holland in Interview When Discussing Rizz: 'Works for Me'
Tom Holland and Zendaya
Zendaya and Tom Holland made a conscious decision to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. However, every once in a while the Spider-Man co-stars offer a glimpse into their romance—and recently, Zendaya name dropped her boyfriend while talking about rizz.
During a February interview with BuzzFeed, during which the actress talked about her new film, Dune: Part Two—starring Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and more—Zendaya sat down with a pile of puppies to chat about the movie. The interviewer asked her: "Who from the Dune cast has the most rizz?"
After hesitating for a beat, Zendaya joked "Me. Hello?" before clarifying, "I don't know. Rizz is short for charisma, right? Everybody's kinda got their own."
She continued: "I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but I, personally, works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland."

Zendaya explained that she's "shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell." However, Holland is the complete opposite.
"He's great at just talking to people and getting to know people. You see him on talk shows and things like that, he's just naturally very good at that," she added. "Whereas for me, I've definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He's got that natural gift.
In the comments of a TikTok video highlighting Zendaya's rizz response, fans couldn't get over the Holland name drop. One person pointed out, "That wasn't even the question zendaya??," while another declared, "The Tom Holland shout out ??."
Another TikTok user wrote, "Interviewer: let's talk about the movie you're in. Zendaya: so anyway my lovely man....??."
Meanwhile, someone else commented, "She really said idk don't care. BUT MY MAN DOES ????????."
On the heels of breakup rumors over the past year, Zendaya bringing Holland into a rizz conversation definitively puts those reports to rest.
