It's interesting that Zac really doesn't like to talk about or admit to just how well-loved and well-known he is. When he got to talking about TGS and the work he put in with Zendaya, he just stared at the picture of them like he was reminiscing over it and feeling really nostalgic for it all. I wonder whether he has a thing for Zendaya and if it's because of her as a person or because she's not into him and he loves a challenge. I feel like that was a big part of his thing towards Alexandra Daddario. The more she said no, the more he tried. Boy does love a challenge.
