In an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live, Chalamet and Zendaya along with Florence Pugh and Austin Butler spoke about their upcoming sequel and the expectations from it. When the celebrities were asked about their working relationship and off-set friendship, Zendaya recalled the first time that she technically met Chalamet at the airport before they were cast together inDune.
What transpired was a very embarrassing situation for theSpider-Man: No Way Homestar who fell awkwardly in front of everyone in the airport including Chalamet who was witness to it. When pressed for further details, the celebrity jokingly said,
“Yeah, we were on the same flight, and I fell in the airport and that was technically our first meeting. I don’t wanna talk about it,”
When Florence Pugh goaded her to reveal more, Zendaya confessed that she received no help from theCall Me By Your Name starwho admitted that he was clueless about what to do at the time. This response then prompted theOppenheimeractor to admonish Chalamet for his apparent unchivalrous behavior. TheWonkastar put an end to the lighthearted banter by revealing that he had since been forgiven by Zendaya for his lack of empathy on the day.
