Tom Holland and Zendaya, who play Spider-Man: No Way Home and are also a real-life couple, discussed their height disparity on Graham Norton’s talk show.
The couple, Tom and Zendaya came on the show on Friday and delivered a funny story about how the inches between them caused some problems while filming stunts for the movie.
“There’s a particular stunt where Spider-Man swings us on top of a bridge, and he places me there. He’s supposed to gently rest MJ on the bridge and walk away from her. Because of our height difference, we were attached, so I would land before him. My feet obviously hit the ground before he does,” the actress who is 5-foot-10 inches tall said.

“So, what would happen?” she prompted Holland, who then said the pair were utilizing a safety procedure called a “bottom mark” for the scene. “The ‘bottom mark’ is a thing that they do in stunts that are basically designed to stop you from shattering your kneecaps,” he said before lamenting: “I’m the superhero. I’m supposed to look cool.”
When they were seen kissing in a car in July of this year, the couple revealed that they were dating. However, after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, suspicions about their romance began to circulate.
