Zendaya revealed her husband Tom Holland is better than her at one important thing.
In a recent interview during Spider-Man: Brand New Day press run, the Dunestar opened up about one of Tom’s most attractive qualities which has nothing to do with fame or appearance, it’s the way he stands up for himself and sets boundaries.
“Something I am always impressed with Tom about, which I feel like I want to inherit more of, but he’s very…” the Euphoriaactress began before the Spider-Man: No Way Home hero jokingly interrupted with, “Awesome? Legendary? Talented?” prompting laughter before she explained what she truly meant.
“You’re a big stickler for respect and kindness,” the Golden Globe Award winner explained. “Not to say that I’m not doing that, but you just make sure that is in the front.”
She continued, “And then if that line is crossed, I think sometimes he’s better at drawing boundaries and making things clear. And I’m a little bit more like, okay, guys, it’s all right, everything’s all right.”
“You’re good at being like, no, no, this is, we’re not doing this,” The Drama actress went to elaborate, “ You’re good at setting the boundaries when they need to be set. Really clearly, really strong.”
“So I like that you have, you know what you feel is right for yourself, and you do it, and for others you’re very protective in that way,” she added.
Clearly touched by the compliment, Tom simply replied, “Thank you. I appreciate that.”
According to The Odyssey actress, her partner has a natural ability to calmly but confidently stand his ground. She also praised him for being protective of the people he cares about.
One memorable example came on October 24, 2024, in New York City, when Holland stepped in to protect Zendaya as an aggressive crowd of photographers and fans surrounded her outside the Nine Orchard Hotel.
The couple was leaving an event when she got separated and surrounded by a tight wall of flashing cameras and pushing fans.
Holland quickly pushed his way through the cluster, saying “No, no, no, give her some room,” and grabbed her hand to safely guide her.
