HuffPost
The former child star met Holland while filming 2017's "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
Zendaya “could not be more proud” of how her beau, Tom Holland, has handled his rise to fame.
In an interview with Vogue published Tuesday, Zendaya talked about seeing Holland’s career change “overnight” following the release of 2017′s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and how he’s navigated becoming a world-famous A-lister. The pair, who have been together for a few years, first met while filming “Homecoming.”
“We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight,” Zendaya said. “One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man.”
The 27-year-old added that she watched Holland’s life “change in front of him” when Marvel came calling, but that “he handled it really beautifully” despite the newfound attention.
Zendaya had already experienced fame as a child star and fledgling pop act when she met Holland on the set of “Homecoming.” Although Holland had already starred in several movies prior to the MCU film, it would be his first movie as Spider-Man that turned him into an international star.
