Zendaya and Tom Holland just addressed their height difference in the most hilarious way

In case you hadn’t noticed, Tom Holland is shorter than his Spider-Man costar and girlfriend, Zendaya. While this has not stopped the pair from going toe to toe on the red carpet, it has made one aspect of their working relationship a bit more difficult.

According to the actors, who appeared on The Graham Norton Show for a joint interview on December 3, their two-inch height difference made one stunt for the upcoming third film, No Way Home, a bit troublesome. 

“There’s a particular stunt where Spider-Man swings us on top of a bridge, and he places me there,” Zendaya explained, per People. “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.”

Holland jumped in to explain that they would get around this particular issue using the “bottom mark” technique. “The ‘bottom mark’ is a thing that they do in stunts that is basically designed to stop you from shattering your kneecaps,” he said, before standing with Zendaya to demonstrate, “She would land, and then I would sort of land like this, and then my feet would swing from underneath me, and she would catch me.” 

Holland did complain that the move hurt his ego a touch, saying, “I’m the superhero. I’m supposed to look cool.” 

While Holland jokingly told Zendaya to “stop doing that,” the Dune star said her costar was actually “very lovely” about the whole thing. “You were like, ‘Oh my gosh, thank you,'” she said.

He laughed, adding, “It’s so nice to be caught for a change.”
