When it comes to his love life, \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d star Tom Holland doesn\u2019t play. <\/p>\n

Holland, who plays Telemachus, the son of main character Odysseus, joined Wired for an interview<\/a> released on July 16 with fellow castmates Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson. <\/p>\n

When asked whether Athena \u2014 played by his beau Zendaya \u2014loves Odysseus romantically, Holland had a quick response. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo, because she\u2019s married to me,\u201d Holland said. <\/p>\n

Damon, who plays titular character Odysseus, praised the swift retort. <\/p>\n

\u201cGood answer,\u201d Damon said in the interview. <\/p>\n

Holland, 30, and Zendaya, 29, have been famously private about their relationship. But when it comes to \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d directed by Christopher Nolan, Zendaya has been open about some special moments she\u2019s had with Holland in regards to the film. <\/p>\n

Zendaya told the AP <\/a>that Holland had the chance to break the news of her casting. She said that her husband, who at the time had already been cast in the film, had just been coming home from a meeting with Nolan. She said that he handed her the film\u2019s script, which the two had been reviewing together just the night before.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was like, \u2018Read it again.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018OK,\u2019\u201d Zendaya, recalled to the AP. \u201cAnd he was like, \u2018But now, think of Athena.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

It was then that Zendaya said she understood what was going on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Stop right now! You\u2019re joking!\u2019\u201d she told the AP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to his love life, \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d star Tom Holland doesn\u2019t play.
