Tom Holland told Men’s Health that he chooses not to walk the red carpet alongside his girlfriend Zendaya at her movie premieres “because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us.”

The two actors are happy to join forces when it’s a movie they’ve shot together, like Marvel’s “Spider-Man” trilogy.

But Holland didn’t want to steal any of the spotlight away from Zendaya by walking the “Challengers” or “Dune” carpets.

Three “Spider-Man” Movies

Zendaya and Holland have starred in three “Spider-Man” movies together, two of which earned more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The couple will spend much of 2025 on film sets together as the stars of a fourth “Spider-Man” movie and of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” Both movies have release dates set for 2026, which means fans will be getting a lot of opportunities next year to see Holland on red carpets with Zendaya.

“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,” Holland said. “Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.”

Acting with Zendaya

Holland appeared on an episode of the “Dish” podcast last month and got asked what it’s like acting with Zendaya, to which he quipped: “Studios love it. One hotel room. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen it’s work, alright?”

Zendaya raved about working with Holland and said it’s not weird to be scene partners together: “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 one thousand 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.”
