Tom Holland has spoken about what it’s like to act opposite his girlfriend Zendaya, joking that studios benefit by saving money on hotel rooms.The actor, who’s starred in three Spider-Man films alongside Zendaya, is set to spend a lot of time on set with her next year – filming both a fourth Spider-Man movie and a new film from Christopher Nolan.He remarked on the Dish podcast hosted by Nick Grimshaw and chef Angela Hartnett yesterday (December 18): “Studios love it.

One hotel room. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen, it’s work, alright?”Taking a more serious tone, he added: “Oh God, yeah.

It’s a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that’s ever happened to me.“It’s just that perfect thing when you’re on set and a director will give you a note that maybe you don’t agree with, or I know that she doesn’t particularly like, and it’s just that, like, familiar glance at each other of like, can’t wait to talk about that later.”Last month, Zendaya told Vanity Fair that working with her boyfriend in a scene together feels “strangely comfortable.”She explained: “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.
