“Oh God, yeah. It’s a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that’s ever happened to me”, he added on a more serious note. “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".
As per 'Variety', Zendaya previously raved to Vanity Fair about working with Holland and said it’s not weird to be scene partners together.

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".
