"Having a shoulder to cry on has been a huge thing for the pair of us and with Jacob [Batalon], as well. You know, we really are a family and, you know, becoming famous at the age of 19," he continued.

"But this is a different kind of fame. You know, there's not a corner of the world that Spider-Man hasn't touched. So you know, it's a lot to take in. So it's really nice for me to have, you know, a family to share that with," he added.

Helping & Supporting Each Other

Zendaya also dished on their relationship and how she helped Holland in his career.

"Just by supporting, you know, just being there. I think sometimes you just have to be a person to vent to someone to, to just be there and listen," she shared.

"And another thing is like, I was lucky enough to where my life didn't change overnight. I started when I was young and so it was kind of like a slow, slow progression, you know? so I kind of got to learn it as I went and figure it out and get my footing a little bit, whereas I think for him, it was so much all at once because when you're Spider-Man, that's kind of how it works," Zendaya explained.

"It's like Spider-Man, your life changes, much like this movie, so I have an extreme amount of empathy for that. So anything that I learned, or have learned, or continue to learn, I share with him, and I think the things he learned, he shares with me," the actress added.
