Chalamet and Zendaya also talked about their early days in Hollywood. Chalamet said that he was a “huge movie nerd” growing up and that he often went to the movies with his mother. He also said that he had failed many auditions and received negative feedback before finally landing his breakthrough role in “Call Me by Your Name.”
Zendaya said that she was grateful for the opportunity to be an actor. “It feels like I’ve been doing this forever,” she said. “I love acting so much that it doesn’t even feel like work.”
When asked about their lives outside of Hollywood, Chalamet and Zendaya both said that they were “boring.” Zendaya said that she rarely leaves her house and that her favorite activities include playing with her dog and reading scripts.
Chalamet said that he enjoys playing video games, memorizing lines, and taking showers. He also said that he sometimes cooks omelets.
