It started like a rom-com. Two twentysomething actors kissed in a car at a red light in Los Angeles. In the driver’s seat was Tom Holland, an actor with brown floppy hair (for once, not Hugh Grant) who had just starred in the sixth highest grossing film in history: Spider-Man: No Way Home. Embracing him was his co-star Zendaya, who at 5ft 10in is two inches taller and also a high achiever; at 24 she became the youngest woman to win the Emmy for lead actress in a drama series (for Euphoria, America’s version of Skins). She also starred in the sci-fi hit Dune — the most nominated film at this year’s Baftas.
Move over Brangelina: meet Hollywood’s new power couple. Tomdaya? Zolland? Whatever you call them, Holland, 25, from Kingston upon Thames (not to be mistaken for the historian Tom Holland or the Pirates of the Caribbean and Rev actor Tom Hollander) and Californian Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, or simply Zendaya, also 25, are a force to be reckoned with.
