Tom Holland calls Euphoria *that* show as he offers honest thoughts on Zendaya’s final season

Hollywood’s favourite it couple, Zendaya and Tom Holland, are in it for the long haul, so of course they support one another’s projects – even if it’s Euphoria.

When Zendaya signed on to Euphoria in 2019, it marked her final TV project. She’s not done a show since, instead lending her massive talents to major blockbusters such as Spider-Man, Dune, Challengers, The Drama, and the upcoming Christopher Nolan film, The Odyssey.

When it began, Euphoria was a powerhouse in its own right. Though not quite as massive as the films her name is attached to, Zendaya dominated Euphoria with award nominations at the Critics’ Choice Awards, the Golden Globes, and the Primetime Emmy Awards. Unfortunately, the final season of Euphoria left much to be desired. Zendaya’s ending as Rue was widely slammed online, in no way due to her performance.

Everyone’s got an opinion, including Tom Holland.

Tom Holland said Zendaya was completely different in Euphoria

In a moment that makes you believe love really does exist, Tom Holland GUSHED about Zendaya on Good Hang with Amy Poehler.

“Her work as an actress, she’s just fearless,” he said. “She’s just absolutely ten toes down, like ‘I’m going to give this everything.'”

In a moment that has sparked quite the storm on Twitter, he then addressed the elephant in the room: Zendaya in Euphoria.

“I think when you watch her as Rue in that show,” he continued. “She could not be more different to who she is in real life. And then if you see her as Emma in The Drama, it’s just such a different performance with no less intent, passion or drive. I think she’s the best actor going, she really has something special.”
