During the episode, the host asked her if she had ever received a speeding ticket, to which she responded, "Tom and I were rushing to a spin class... with my mother. I was not going to do the spin class. He was going to do the spin class because I don't do that.

"But we were going a little fast because we were running late," the actress continued.

Reportedly, the trio was soon stopped by a police officer, but due to Holland's portrayal of 'Spider-Man', they did not face any consequences.

This came following the 'Euphoria' star's affectionate comments about Holland and his "charisma."

Reportedly, she remarked, "I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but personally—works for me—is Mr. Tom Holland."

“I’m more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell. But he’s great at just talking to people and getting to know people. You see him on talk shows and stuff like that,” the 27-year-old actress stated.

Zendaya added, “He’s just naturally very good at that. Whereas for me, I’ve definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. So, he’s got that natural gift.”

‘This is one of her best interviews!’

Meanwhile, the interview of the 'Dune' actress with Jimmy Kimmel has garnered lovely compliments from her fans.

A person on YouTube wrote, “She's a delight! Can't help but notice that almost all the actors and actresses that have been in the industry, doing well and stay grounded has a lovely family around them.” [sic]
