Zendaya is being praised online for being 'so real' after answering a question about which Dune cast member has the best 'rizz'.
Quickly squashing the ridiculous rumors which arose after some social media users saw Zendaya unfollowed Tom Holland on Instagram, the Dune star had the best answer to a question a reporter asked about 'rizz'.
Despite how the two actors deliberately try to keep their relationship out of the spotlight in a bid to retain some privacy, some fans keep such a close eye on the pair's social media accounts that last month they realised Zendaya was no longer following her boyfriend.

The Euphoria star had unfollowed everyone on the social media platform, not just Holland. Alas, it didn't take long for the rumor mill to spin, Instagram users flocking online to question why Zendaya may not be following Holland anymore.
"Break up news is coming I fear," one user said - Holland stomping down the rumors by telling a reporter they had 'definitely not' split.
And Zendaya has certainly squashed any rumors of a break-up even further in an interview she took part in with some other cast members from Dune: Part Two.
As she played with puppies while being interviewed by Buzzfeed Celeb, Zendaya was asked: "Who from the Dune cast has the most rizz?"
For those of you - like me - who are 80-year-old's in 23-year-old's bodies and don't know what 'rizz' means, according to the Oxford University Press, it's 'style, charm, or attractiveness; the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner’.
And Zendaya's answer?
Well, she didn't strictly answer the question.
First, she joked it was herself, but then, after checking 'rizz' is basically 'short for charisma' she noted: "Everybody's kind of got their own."
She continued: "I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast but I personally - works for me - is Mr Tom Holland."
The actor explained she's 'more shy and kind of quiet' so it takes 'a little more to pull [her] out of her shell,' but Holland is 'great at talking to people and getting to know people'.
"He's got that natural gift," she resolves.
And fans of the duo are absolutely loving Zendaya's answer.
One X user wrote: "The way tom isn’t even a part of the dune cast."
"I love how they asked her about the cast and she said no thank you I'm going to talk about my man," a second added.
A third commented: "Dropping Tom[s] name during the puppy interview how cute is that!"
A final resolved: "She is so real. she gets it."
