They’re currently in the midst of a whirlwind publicity tour for their science fiction epic Dune.
But Timothรฉe Chalamet managed to break up the monotony in a BuzzFeed video from Wednesday when he teased his costar Zendaya about her celebrity crush.
The 25-year-old Little Women actor had the 25-year-old Euphoria star in stitches after joking that her actual boyfriend Tom Holland counted as her celebrity crush.
Surprised her: Timothรฉe Chalamet, 25, joked that his Dune costar Zendaya’s ‘celebrity crush’ was her real-life boyfriend Tom Holland during a BuzzFeed interview from Wednesday

The two friends and costars were sitting together to take BuzzFeed Best Friend Forever Test, in which they answered questions about each other that were sent to their phones.
Timothรฉe looked casual yet stylish in a white jacket with a tan collar over a white shirt, while Zendaya looked chic in an olive zip-up ensemble with her shoulder-length brunette tresses elegantly coiffed and parted at the side.
The French Dispatch actor didn’t even have to think once he was asked about Zendaya’s ‘biggest celebrity crush.’
‘Easy,’ he said with a wide grin. ‘Tom Holland.’
Heartthrob: Tom Holland since in 2017
He seemed to have taken Zendaya off guard, as she let out a big chuckle while still looking down at her phone.
She found it a little more difficult to answer the question when it came to Timothรฉe.
‘I don’t actually know. Maybe that’s a secret on purpose,’ she joked.
Although Timothรฉe was bold enough to share Zendaya’s celebrity crush, she hasn’t exactly been hiding her relationship with Tom.

Nailed it! The French Dispatch actor didn’t even have to think once he was asked about Zendaya’s biggest celebrity crush. ‘Easy,’ he said. ‘Tom Holland.’
Over this past summer, the two were spotted spending plenty of time together, and they seemingly confirmed their relationship in July when they were spotted making out in a car while stopped at a red light.
Earlier this week, the Spider-Man star posted a lovely black-and-white photo of his girlfriend at the Dune premiere, captioning it with the film’s title and a ‘heart eyes’ emoji.
She replied to his post with an emoji of her own, the moist-eyed ‘pleading eyes’ face, suggesting her feelings were similar.

Having a laugh: Elsewhere in the interview, Zendaya correctly remembered that Timothรฉe’s middle name was Hal, but she cracked up just saying it. ‘I can’t get over the fact that that’s your middle name. Like what?’ she said

‘Mom and dad, you f***ed me up!’ he shouted.
Later, after Zendaya suggested ‘fries’ for his favorite snack, Timothรฉe shot back that the famously petite actors don’t have many favorite snacks.
‘We don’t eat!’ he joked.
Box office success: Zendaya and Timothรฉe are currently starring in Denis Villeneuve’s new blockbuster Dune, which earned an impressive $17.5 million on Friday, according to Variety
Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya star in the final ‘Dune’ trailer
Zendaya and Timothรฉe are currently starring in Denis Villeneuve’s new blockbuster Dune, which earned an impressive $17.5 million on Friday, according to Variety.
Warner Bros. is projecting the movie, which is a hit with critics and audiences alike, will earn $33 million domestically over the weekend, while other analysts are even predicting a $39 million domestic opening.
The film’s success appears to be partially buoyed by viewers wanting to see the film on large premium formats like IMAX, which account for a significant portion of ticket sales.
Big demand: Dune’s success may also show that it’s able to avoid the HBO Max curse, as it and other films that have been released simultaneously for HBO Max subscribers have had soft openings, as many viewers have chose to stay home to watch new films at no additional cost

The film, based on the classic science fiction novel of the same name by Frank Herbert, only covers the first half of the novel, so its success may pave the way for a sequel to at least complete the story, though Herbert also wrote several sequels to Dune.
The film was previously adapted by David Lynch in 1984, a version which was blasted by critics and bombed at the box office, though it has since been reevaluated as a bizarre cult classic.
