Tom Holland and Zendaya are opening up about their character’s blossoming relationship.
The two Spider-Man: Far From Home stars reveal why it’s taking so long for Peter and MJ to take their friendship to a relationship.
“It’s cute, I think the director really just wanted to portray the most accurate representation of puppy love…” Tom told PopBuzz. “So that’s why they’re very awkward when they’re around each other.”
“And it’s also just reality you know, when you’re that age and you are kind of figuring out how to communicate your feelings to other people,” Zendaya added.
The 22-year-old actress wore a stunning red and black Armani Prive dress to the red carpet premiere of her newest film, Spider-Man: Far From Home on Wednesday (June 26) at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.
Zendaya revealed that her red carpet look was inspired by the movie’s hero, Spider-Man himself (played by Tom Holland).
“This was our homage to the Far From Home suit that he wears,” Zendaya told ET. “This is my own version.”
FYI: Zendaya is also wearing Christian Louboutin shoes.

Fans got a little shock when it was revealed just how Tom Holland drinks, and sometimes eats, while wearing his Spider-Man suit.
ET first showed the footage where Tom, 23, has a straw going into one of the eye holes in his suit and that’s how he gets to drink.
“Basically, my eyes in my mask, they clip off, they come off, because they’re glass, and obviously the suit is fabric, and they need to clip in,†Tom shared. “And what I can do is I can take my left one out, and there’s a little, like, thing that I pull out, and then I put a tube, a squeezy tube, down into my mouth, and then I can drink from a bottle.â€
He also added that he can also get snacks that way too: “I’ve had a KitKat in the suit now.”
Celebrities including Yara Shahidi, Pia Mia, Inanna Sarkis, and Jacob Batalon hit the red carpet for the film’s star-studded premiere on Wednesday (June 26) at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.
“The real heroes in life are the ones that do so without asking for gratitude, and those are our teachers, those are our soldiers and doctors, and here with this platform we can help those people do great things, and if we’re doing that then we’re doing something right,” Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, said at the premiere.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was such an amazing movie – we mean, it even won an Oscar!
But one thing that was missing from it was Tom Holland, the live action star of the Spider-Man films.
It actually turns out that he was supposed to have a cameo in the animated film, as were Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, but the idea was nixed.
“At one point I was supposed to be in it,” Tom recalled in an interview with JOE. “There was going to be another Peter Parker…there was like a scene in a train station or something, and it was going to be like an Easter egg. I was going to walk through the background and say like ‘Hey, kid’ or something.”
