Zendaya Shares How Tom Holland Played Role in Odyssey Casting | E! News
Zendaya entered a state of euphoria when she was cast in ‘The Odyssey.’ But before she took on the role of the Greek goddess Athena, she admitted she “kind of cheated a little bit” because her husband Tom Holland had already been cast as Odysseus’ son Telemachus. “Tom had the script at home before I got the call,” Zendaya told Justin Sylvester during the Live from E! Stream at ‘The Odyssey’ premiere in New York City July 14. “So, I did a little peeky-peek.” And the 29-year-old found director Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic poem—also starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Lupita Nyong’o and hitting theaters July 17—to be “extraordinary” and “so moving.” She continued, “You would think a piece of literature like this is almost impossible to adapt, but if there’s anyone who can do it, it’s Mr. Nolan.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1433995/the-odyssey-zendaya-says-tom-holland-helped-her-casting

LOVE LOVE LOVE ZENDAYA
She is so beautiful. Glowing ❤❤❤
The wind is a paid actor! ❤
She looks like Vanessa from gossip girl
She plays the Goddess of Wisdom, so technically sneaking a look at the script beforehand was just her staying in character. ✨
Such a gracious young woman.
Pure class, but those eyes are tired. Hope her and Tom take a long break.
