[@alba4307]

She has never been the lead of a movie tho, so idk abt leading actress of this generation (She is the lead in Euphoria but that is a show, malcom n marie was colead but in her other movies she is always the love interest with 5 mins of screen time). But yeah Timothee is definitely is the leading man of this generation and has an incredible future due to his amazing talent.

The fact that they were already talking about their press tour fashions when they met. Love them😂

i'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic poking fun at themselves. they didn't actually talk about that when they met

I could hardly watch...they are kinda cringe and cute at same time

[@karabokhanyile]

@@OCR461 I could see that definitely lol. I love the bit where Zendaya said she likes how Timothee purposefully goes for projects that are great on paper,but not in a pretentious way

[@mishxalhey7319]

Both of them are so well-spoken and reflective, they love going into the deeper meaning of things and I really appreciate that. Can’t believe I used to watch zendaya on Disney and now we’re here

[@toxictiger4gaming378]

its cuz they have infp(t) and infj(z) personality types who both love to give meaning to everything:)

[@butjay11]

Those two have beautiful souls. The respect they have for one another is such a wonderful thing to see.🥰

I hope , that Beautiful soules will be together One day. I love thier respect each Other. I think, she is more confortabil with Timothe than Tom.

Please stop

[@clajutola]

I Know she is in a relationship, but the chemistry on set between the few scenes together was amazing and I see by the press conference they have so many things in common they both fashion icons being this young.

[@neonoires]

I love how they’re both memes in real life but they’re so chill around each other. Timothée especially seems less stammery and nervous. They also have similar personalities.

[@Jadorelainie]

Talent, personality, looks, brains, humility ,these two cultivated the best qualities and left nothing else for us mortals! Always refreshing to see them on screen.

[@whatsinaname1831]

Wow, Timothee is a very beautiful man. his eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, lips, jawline and gorgeous curls. His face is perfect

Okay baby let me help you out with what " Dry Socket " is. My cousin is a Dentist and I learned what that was some time ago! Sweetheart, "Dry Socket " is when blood clot at the site of the tooth fells to develop before the wound heals. Yes Zendaya, it can make ones breathe small so bad that you would think that a strong wind was blowing and farted in their 👄 mouth!! Wheeew!!

[@br7988]

@@karabokhanyile why is sam problematic?

[@karabokhanyile]

@@br7988 Uhm basically he's considered a problematic writer and director It started with the overt sexualization of teenagers in his projects like Assassination nation and Euphoria which this review made people call it out as gross considering he's a cis white male doing coming of age shows m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/noicdZqticyKrac He then wrote and directed Malcolm and Marie which had JDW(a black man btw) rant about his own personal criticism he got from a white woman reviewing Assassination nation and saying it's pretentious work. People just don't want a white male to use a black man as a mouth piece and or talk about racism in the film industry when he isn't black so since February there's been hell of a vendetta against Sam I personally love his work in Euphoria and Malcolm and Maree(5/10) so I don't hate him but I can understand the criticisms
