Tom Holland has paid heartfelt tribute to his partner Zendaya, saying he wouldn’t be able to do what he does without her. The Spider-Man star spoke openly about his admiration for Zendaya, both as a partner and as an actor, in what fans have called one of the most authentic celebrity tributes in recent memory.“She’s a lifesaver, she really is. I couldn’t imagine doing what I do without her,” Holland said of his relationship with Zendaya.Appearing on ‘Good Hang With Amy Poehler’, Holland celebrated his love for Zendaya, who recently reprized her role as Rue in the third and final season of ‘Euphoria.’
Tom Holland as Zendayan
Holland praised Zendaya’s work, particularly highlighting her recent performances. “I think what I love about watching his work as an actor is that he’s fearless,” she said. “It’s like a total 10 thumbs down, ‘I’m going to give it my all.’ And I think when you see her as Rue on that show, she couldn’t be more different than she is in real life.”Zendaya also starred alongside Robert Pattinson in ‘The Drama’. Holland mentioned both performances in his tribute. If you see her as Emma in “The Drama,” it’s a different performance, but not with less intent or passion or drive. I think he’s the best actor going. I really think it has something special,” he said.

Holland also talked about what it means to have someone by your side who truly understands the pressures of life in the entertainment industry. “It’s a wild world to be in this industry and there are ups and downs and you go from shooting a movie, which is when we’re all most comfortable, and then you do a press tour, which you feel like you stand out on stage,” he said. “It’s so nice to have someone who understands that in a personal way, so that we can talk to each other or just lift each other up. It’s a lifesaver, it really is. I couldn’t imagine doing what I do without him.”
