When it comes to his love life, โThe Odysseyโ star Tom Holland doesnโt play.
Holland, who plays Telemachus, the son of main character Odysseus, joined Wired for an interview released on July 16 with fellow castmates Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson.
When asked whether Athena โ played by his beau Zendaya โloves Odysseus romantically, Holland had a quick response.
โNo, because sheโs married to me,โ Holland said.
Damon, who plays titular character Odysseus, praised the swift retort.
โGood answer,โ Damon said in the interview.
Holland, 30, and Zendaya, 29, have been famously private about their relationship. But when it comes to โThe Odyssey,โ directed by Christopher Nolan, Zendaya has been open about some special moments sheโs had with Holland in regards to the film.
Zendaya told the AP that Holland had the chance to break the news of her casting. She said that her husband, who at the time had already been cast in the film, had just been coming home from a meeting with Nolan. She said that he handed her the filmโs script, which the two had been reviewing together just the night before.
โHe was like, โRead it again.โ And I was like, โOK,โโ Zendaya, recalled to the AP. โAnd he was like, โBut now, think of Athena.โโ
It was then that Zendaya said she understood what was going on.
โI was like, โStop right now! Youโre joking!โโ she told the AP.
