Proof That Lauren Conrad Is a Total Boss

Tom Holland really loves working with Zendaya.

On an episode of the Dish podcast, Tom Holland jokes that executives love casting both Zendaya and him because it saves them money. “Studios love it," he says. "One hotel room. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen it’s work, alright?”

But while working with his partner is all fun and games, it's also become a very special part of the industry for Tom Holland. “It’s a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he continues. “It’s just that perfect thing when you’re on set and a director will give you a note that maybe you don’t agree with, or I know that she doesn’t particularly like, and it’s just that, like, familiar glance at each other of like, 'Can’t wait to talk about that later.'”

And Zendaya agrees. The Euphoria actress opened up in Vanity Fair's new Hollywood 2025 issueabout what it's like to work with Tom on a project, revealing "it’s actually strangely comfortable."

"It’s like second nature, if anything," she says. "You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him. He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read." Well, I can only imagine how off the charts that chemistry read was.

And Tom Holland & Zendaya find a ton of comfort in each other.

And the comfort Tom Holland and Zendaya offer each other doesn't only happen on set. Tom recently revealed, after a video of him breaking up a paparazzi swarm went viral, just how protective he gets over Zendaya — and that Googling her actually helps him when he's feeling anxious.

“I’m not on socials, and I delete [the apps] when I’m not using [them],” he says on Samah Dada’s On the Menu podcast. “So sometimes I — it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing...I just give it a little Google, look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine.'"

And viral interview moments of Tom recognizing Zendaya's nerves and helping calm her down prove he's always got her back too. This is one match that is totally made in Heaven, and I can't get enough of them.

• Glen Powell is one of the most charming men in Hollywood, so I know he's gonna bring that charm to new heights in this film — even if they're slightly sinister heights!
• Glen Powell in the rain in Twisters (yes, it's the second time I'm brining this up — it's fine) was so hot, and he wasn't even doing anything actually hot...just imagine the erotic thriller possibilities here!
• IMAGINE YET ANOTHER GLEN POWELL PRESS TOUR?

Elle remembers "sobbing" during one particularly emotional Dakota Fanning movie.

“When Elle’s in anything, it makes me feel it deeper,” Dakota Fanning said at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit on December 3. “She never can fully disappear into a character totally for me as her sister. She obviously does an amazing job, but I’m always gonna see my little sister a little bit.”

And Elle is just as touched by Dakota's roles, and remembers "uncontrollably sobbing" after seeing Now Is Good, a movie where Dakota's character was dying of cancer. “Because it was my sister, I had a real traumatic reaction after that premiere and the screening,” Elle says. “Obviously the acting, but it was something felt on a deeper level.”

“I’m doing this job, I’m an actor because my sister started before me and I watched her,” Elle continues. “I wanted to do exactly what my big sister wanted to do.”

And their movies have also made an impact on everyone who watches them.

When Brit + Co caught up with Dakota Fanning at the world premiere of The Watchers, I had to ask about one of her most iconic movies: Uptown Girls. "I love it," she says of TikTok memes and edits giving the movie new life. "It's nostalgic for people who are kind of around my age, who grew up watching that movie, I think it's like a comfort movie for people. And so I love that people are still revisiting it and loving it. And maybe now that everyone's older [they're] understanding different things about it."

Dakota starred opposite Brittany Murphy, who also had roles in movies like Clueless, 8 Mile, and Girl, Interrupted. Brittany passed away in 2009 when Dakota was 15. "I loved Brittany so much and I still miss her," she says. "So anytime that she has, you know, a moment where people think about her is also nice."
