Tom Holland offered a rare glimpse into his relationship with Zendaya in a new interview over the weekend.
The 27-year-old actor took part in a Q&A discussion for his new film The Crowded Room for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversions Series on Friday.
When the talk turned to his 27-year-old girlfriend – who he’s been dating since November 2021 – Holland reveals he loves her honesty the most.
‘Zendaya is probably the most honest with me,” he said. ‘Which I love, ‘cause you need that,’ Holland said.
The news comes just a day after he was spotted grabbing some dinner in West Hollywood with friends.

Most honest: ‘Zendaya is probably the most honest with me,” he said. “Which I love, ‘cause you need that,’ Holland said
He also opened up about how honest his fellow Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are honest with him as well, though Robert Downey Jr. may be too honest.
‘Downey is very honest – sometimes a little too honest. I really respect Downey’s opinion,’ Holland added.
‘He taught me so much and I always sing his praises, and I love the guy. I admire him,’ Holland continued.
When it comes to the craft of acting, though, Holland admitted that he turns to Benedict Cumberbatch the most.
‘Benedict Cumberbatch is someone that I ask for advice a lot about acting,’ Holland said of the Doctor Strange star.
Holland made his debut as Spider-Man in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, which he followed up with 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, 2019’s Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
There have been rumors about the potential for a fourth Spider-Man movie, which Holland recently opened up about.
‘All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character,’ Holland told Collider at the recent press conference with the Critics Choice Association.

‘Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing. I feel very protective over Spider-Man,’ he insisted.
During the conversation the actor expressed a healthy dose of gratitude for having the privilege to work on such an iconic franchise.
‘I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie, that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy,’ he added.
‘So, I won’t make another one for the sake of making another one. It will have to be worth the while of the character,’ he admitted.
