Challengers interview: Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor on the tennis love triangle

[@rikerich1769]

I just love Mike, he isn't trying to be likeable. He just being himself and straight forward about what he wants as an actor. He reminds me a lot with Cillian Murphy

[@estrellamarrone]

Exactly

[@Stopthecäq]

spot on

[@darkunicorn1203]

Because he's likable enough.

[@hellodolly2551]

Is boring tbh

[@phatballet]

Love Mike's intelligence and active listening and that he only adds to the conversation when he has something to say. He's demonstrated on just about all of the interviews that he also has a reserved charm that I think others are labeling as rude. I just don't read it that way at all.

[@saifmahmudishtiakshushaan462]

About time someone brought up the connection between Past Lives and Challengers.

[@samfilmkid]

That hotel room sequence was amazing. All the clutter and sensual details like the wind blowing through the curtains really made you feel like you were there in that room with them.

[@kaylazhang2923]

mike faist is so special i hope he has a great career

[@omgthisissoawesome]

I really love how Zendaya always gives a shout-out to other members of the crew. There are so many people on a film set and aside from the director and actors, most of the other people working on a project tend to get overlooked. It's really sweet how she's always highlighting the writers, people who do costumes, hair, makeup, etc.

JOSH IS SO NICE AND CHARMING WE NEEDA TALK ABT HIM MORE

[@keyanap00p40]

Zendaya finally doing a letter box interview??? My life is finally complete 😭

[@larakunzi3571]

absolutely loved the interviewer t-shirt! It comes from the mexican movie "Y tu mama también" a classic that also talks about a love triangle that two friends are involved ❤️‍🔥

[@clanofclams2720]

that Y Tu Mama Tambien shirt is absolutely intentional

[@FansenEdits]

5:16 So glad Zendaya brought up she and Mike Faist’s connection through P&P with Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen💙

[@98bocinas]

what was the connection? i missed it

I love the Past Lives x Challengers multiverse. It’s awesome.

[@barcalona55]

You British need to stop being so good at acting. I didn’t even know he was British

[@emily-ky6fo]

that’s so interesting because he looks so so so british to me and it was weird hearing him with an american accent because i first saw him years ago in gods own country where he plays an extremely british guy, and also seeing clips of him as charles in the crown

[@jyoreepong]

I love Josh❤ his eyes are so warm

[@bambi__________]

incredible interview! Ella is on point with her questions and Mike's story is the cherry on top. also what Zendaya says about Luca is so honest and lovely.

[@Roman888]

Capricorn being aloof and intimidating, Virgo acting like an anxious mediator, Taurus just straight chilling.

[@ludsogolden]

They're all fantastic actors, each in their own special way, and I hope there will be a chance to see them on the same screen again!

[@karabokhanyile]

Mike's hate for reading scripts makes me wonder how many great work he's missed out on because of that😢

[@molls127]

he's a theatre actor at heart

[@CarolsFerrao]

Amazing interview. Ella is amazing.

[@dionnebennett5455]

Why don’t most interviewers ask about Zendaya being one of the producers? From her questions it sounded like she didn’t know.

[@maryh.93]

The interviewer's shirt! I'd say this is a woman working in the right place, and knows what she's doing! Hah love that. And what a great interview, Mike's story was incredible.

[@darklinaendgame]

I love them but Josh and Zendaya completely did not understand the very interesting question about the way Luca Guadagnino films human bodies

[@braydentheslayer]

Who cares lol

[@tierraellerbe1802]

So explain

[@AntiHeroApollo]

On the same boat, when I was watching the movie, I was like Luca knows how to film a persons body, especially men, to have the audience like “woah…🤯😍.” Luca is great with those little details.

[@viola4732]

I think they’re just very media-trained and were intentionally avoiding it

[@ashlauren613]

It's not that they didn’t understand is it's just that they're on a press junket and are to essentially give the same answers over and over again so, that's what circulates in the media stories written about the film. They're just doing their jobs, I trust that they're smart enough to understand the question but they have an agenda here.

[@gabrielferreira26]

I need that Y tu mama Tambien shirt. Do anyone know where I can buy it?

[@miraclevalenz]

that is exactly what i was gonna comment hahaha

[@miraclevalenz]

and of course the interviewer probably wore it because bringing two iconic throuple movies together!
