Body language expert claims Tom Holland’s unease at posing with Zendaya hints at hidden ‘tension’

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Tom Holland and Zendaya made a rare public appearance together in New York City on October 24, Thursday, to celebrate the launch of Holland's new non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero.

Fans were eager to see the beloved 'Spider-Man' couple, but their interactions during the event raised eyebrows and sparked speculations about possible tension in their relationship.

Body language expert analyzes Tom Holland and Zendaya’s tense appearance

In a clip shared by Pop Base on social media, Tom Holland and Zendaya's demeanor appeared noticeably stiff and uncomfortable.

Observers noted that while posing for photographs, Holland frequently distanced himself from Zendaya, retreating each time the camera flashes ceased. These peculiar interactions led to questions about what might be brewing beneath the surface of their public façade.

To gain insight into the couple's body language, Nicki Swift consulted body language and relationship expert Nicole Moore. Moore highlighted that Holland's behavior indicated signs of stress, noting, "Tom's mouth appears tight and in a straight line throughout the entire clip, a giveaway that he's unhappy or stressed in this moment."

Moore added, "As he looks at Zendaya, Tom attempts to force a smile, but it's a short, tense smile and his eyes appear sad and like he's holding back strong emotions."

Moore noted that Holland's evident unease is heightened by the way he drapes his arm around Zendaya, with his fingers appearing relaxed, as if he’s restraining himself.

Moore explains, "Typically when couples are feeling close, they will grab each other in photos with a tighter grip so Tom may feel a need to be separate from Zendaya's at this moment."

In contrast, Zendaya's body language conveys a different message. Moore notes that her head leans toward him in the photos, indicating a level of comfort and intimacy that may not be reciprocated by her partner.

This stands in stark contrast to the usual cheerful and carefree vibe that has characterized Holland and Zendaya's relationship.

Zendaya and Tom Holland’s height difference might have contributed to recent awkwardness

According to celebrity relationship expert Nicole Moore, the height difference between Tom Holland and Zendaya may be a factor in the strange vibes observed in the clip.

Zendaya, who already stands taller than Holland, appeared even more so due to her choice of heels. Moore suggests that this height disparity could lead to discomfort, resulting in tense body language.

“It’s possible that some of her tense body language is a result of her feeling uncomfortable being so much taller than her partner,” she explains.

Typically, Zendaya and Holland navigate their height difference with ease, often showcasing their close bond in public appearances. However, in this particular instance, Moore notes a shift in their dynamic. “While they usually appear comfortable and close, in this moment, they seem tense and distant,” she observes.
