The 28-year-old actress stars alongside Tom, 28, in the 'Spider-Man' film franchise, and Zendaya has revealed that she relishes working with her real-life boyfriend, explaining that she feels "extra safe" with Tom.

Zendaya told Vanity Fair's 2025 Hollywood Issue: "It’s actually strangely comfortable. It’s like second nature, if anything. You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him.

"He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things 1,000 percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read."

Zendaya has already enjoyed significant success as an actress and as a singer.

But the 'Euphoria' star insists she's not especially strategic about her career.

Zendaya said: "It’s not a strategic thing.

"I feel like the right parts find you in the same way you find them. Sometimes you might be developing something and it just falls through. I remember many years ago, there was a project I was working on that fell through. We were supposed to shoot, and then a month before, it fell apart. And then I got this script for 'Euphoria', and that ended up shooting in its slot. I was like, 'Oh my God, thank God that movie fell apart!' But at the time we were like, 'S***.' There was really a reason for all of it. I try to go with my feelings.

"Honestly, it’s really hard to get me to finish a script, because I get sidetracked really easily. When something can make me read it to the end and keeps me engaged, then I know that it’s something that I want to do."
