SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Producer Tried To Convince Stars Tom Holland & Zendaya Not To Date

Tom Holland and Zendaya made their relationship official during the red carpet premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home, but producer Amy Pascal has now admitted that she tried to convince them not to date.

Rumors that Tom Holland and Zendaya were dating have been doing the rounds online since the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, and whether there was any truth to the reports back then or not, there certainly is now. The stars of Spider-Man: No Way Home recently announced that they are officially an item, and showed up to the red carper premiere of the movie together.

Holland and Zendaya now follow Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone from The Amazing Spider-Man movies as on-screen Spidey couples who embarked on a relationship IRL, but it seems some Sony Pictures higher-ups were less than ecstatic about young love blossoming on the set.

Producer Amy Pascal has admitted that she tried to convince the costars to restrict their romantic entanglements to the screen.

"I took Tom and Zendaya aside, separately, when we first cast them and gave them a lecture. Don't go there — just don't," she told The New York Times. "Try not to. I gave the same advice to Andrew and Emma," she added. "It can just complicate things, you know? And they all ignored me."

Those previous relationships we mentioned may not have worked out, but that's no reason to suspect that Holland and Zendaya won't go the distance - and even if they don't, so what? As long as their personal lives don't negatively impact their work, it really shouldn't be anyone else's business.

What do you guys think? Should on-screen couples keep things purely platonic away from the set?

@itzayaboy - Hey, cool! Completely random, but I actually designed (or some would say, "re-mixed") that Wolves avatar of yours many years back. Fun to see it still getting some use even though the newer official one's been out for a few years now.

Obviously I can see how it potentially could be a problem but as long as they are able to maintain a professional relationship if it goes bad then there's no issue.

A ton of people, not just actors, meet their significant other at work.

Well do you work close together and fall in love. Cuz that’s called connection. Then you disconnect and reconnect with someone else in another movie. Suddenly you’re in trouble, your significant other is suspicious, and you’re telling your costar everything, it’s why I left Hollywood. I was that mean airport guard on Argo

Good. It's never a good idea to meddle and she has no place in interfering in that. It's not her business.

It’s no different than dating someone at work. When you’re young, most of the time it’s the only way to get with someone. So let them live and learn atleast they got to love.

Honestly this is nothing new. Actors, especially in romantic roles, end up dated during filming a lot. Especially if they’re method actors.
