Tom Holland confessed Zendaya was his celebrity crush years before they started dating

Tom Holland and Zendaya went public with their romance last year, but it seems the Spiderman actor has had the hots for his co-star for a few years now.

Speaking back in 2017 while doing press rounds for Spider-Man: Homecoming, Holland was asked who his first ever celebrity crush was.

And needless to say, his answer was the definition of adorable, although he was quick to backtrack on his response.

Holland replied to Popbuzz: “Erm, Zendaya [laughs],” before quickly adding: “No it wasn’t Zendaya. My first ever celebrity crush growing up was probably Jennifer Aniston.”

But sadly for Holland, when the interviewer asked Zendaya the same question, her response was, erm, Michael Jackson.

But fret not, Tomdaya shippers, because while promoting Dune last year, it was seemingly confirmed that these days, Zendaya's celeb crush is her other half. Huzzah!

Taking part in a Buzzfeed interview with none other than Timothee Chalamet, the pair were asked who their celeb crushes were.

Gesturing to Zendaya, Chalamet quipped: “Easy, Tom Holland,” prompting his co-star to giggle bashfully.

Holland has a peculiar way of predicting his own future, which YouTuber David Justin proved by putting together a compilation of old Holland clips where it seems that the actor's dreams and wishes have all come true.

In one interview, Holland was asked what kind of superhero he would want to play. His response? You guessed it, the star said: "Maybe Spider-Man in like 10 years time.”

But wait, it gets better. When asked: "If you could be in a movie with 3 actors alive or dead who would you pick," Holland gave Jake Gyllenhaal as one of his answers.

Holland and Gyllenhaal of course starred together in 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.

And in another clip, the British actor said: "My favourite video game is this little game called Uncharted."

Of course Holland’s favourite video game turned into a movie released this year and guess who starred in it... yep.

The collection of clips went viral on YouTube and viewers couldn’t believe what they were watching.

One person commented: "Bro manifested his whole life. What an absolute lad," while a second viewer wrote: "God gave him the script of life and he leaked that by 'accident' too."

"He didn’t predict the future, he’s just that good at giving away spoilers," a third fan joked.

While another added: "He really is out here just speaking his roles into existence lmaooo."
