But they are spending the first Sunday of the year away from the spotlight. Neither actor was photographed on the red carpet of the Critics Choice Awards tonight.

It doesn\u2019t really feel weird, she explained: \u201cIt\u2019s actually strangely comfortable. It\u2019s like second nature, if anything. You feel extra safe with the person you\u2019re acting beside. I love working with him. He\u2019s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he\u2019s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That\u2019s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"recirculation\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">In terms of the projects she picks, Zendaya told the outlet, \u201cIt\u2019s not a strategic thing. I feel like the right parts find you in the same way you find them. Sometimes you might be developing something and it just falls through. I remember many years ago, there was a project I was working on that fell through. We were supposed to shoot, and then a month before, it fell apart. And then I got this script for <em data-node-id=\"9.1\">Euphoria,<\/em> and that ended up shooting in its slot. I was like, \u2018Oh my God, thank God that movie fell apart!\u2019 But at the time we were like, \u2018Shit.\u2019 There was really a reason for all of it. I try to go with my feelings. Honestly, it\u2019s really hard to get me to finish a script, because I get sidetracked really easily. When something can make me read it to the end and keeps me engaged, then I know that it\u2019s something that I want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-yj5rqk e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-12xbh4x e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">More on Tom and Zendaya<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.elle.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE RUNDOWN Neither Zendaya nor Tom Holland was seen at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
