Tom Holland Praises Zendaya as 'Best Actor Going'

Tom Holland has openly praised his fiancée, actress Zendaya, calling her the "best actor going" in the industry today. Holland, who confirmed their engagement in September 2026, recently shared his deep admiration for Zendaya's talent. He detailed his commitment by revealing he visited her film set on her first day of work for "The Odyssey," wanting to be present to support her.

Zendaya portrays the Greek goddess Athena in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," while Holland plays Telemachus. The film also stars Matt Damon, who, along with Holland, lauded Zendaya's performance. Damon recounted how Zendaya delivered "perfect" takes, impressing Nolan and leading to playful banter between the actors about their own performances.

Furthermore, Holland discussed how their off-screen chemistry significantly impacted their work on "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." He shared an anecdote where he and Zendaya collaboratively identified an issue with a scene, leading to its rewrite and reshoot. Holland emphasized his belief in Zendaya's fearlessness and special quality as an actress.
