Tom Holland Sparks Laughter With Sweet Zendaya Comment at ‘The Odyssey’ Press Event

The press tour for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey began this week, but one off-screen moment quickly drew more attention than the film itself.

Rabat – During a recent Wired interview promoting “The Odyssey,” Tom Holland sparked laughter after jokingly shutting down a fan’s question about a possible romance between Zendaya’s Athena and Matt Damon’s Odysseus, quipping, “No, because she’s married to me.”

The playful remark drew laughs from co-stars Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway and quickly went viral across social media.

The reaction reflects renewed public interest in Holland and Zendaya’s relationship. The couple maintained a private profile for years before Holland confirmed in June that they are married.

They now appear together in the movie, with Zendaya portraying Athena and Holland playing Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. The exchange offered audiences a brief but personable glimpse of their dynamic.

The film marks a significant moment for both actors. The Odyssey opens in theaters today, , and features an ensemble cast that includes Charlize Theron and Robert Pattinson.

Holland will also return as Spider-Man in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” scheduled for release on July 31.

The consecutive releases place both stars at the forefront of this summer’s film slate.

The cast did not disclose plot details during the interview, choosing instead to discuss the experience of working with Nolan. Still, moments like this highlight why Holland and Zendaya remain among the most watched figures in entertainment right now.
