Tom Holland teases Zendaya's The Odyssey role with hilarious joke

Tom Holland has his The Odyssey co-stars laughing with his jokes about his wife, Zendaya, in the interviews.

The actor recently appeared alongside Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson in a video for Wired, where the cast answered fan questions about Christopher Nolan's new film. 

When Holland read a question asking whether Zendaya's character, the goddess Athena, loved Damon's Odysseus romantically, he quickly replied, "No, because she's married to me."

The cast broke into a laughter as well as earned praise from Damon, who called it the perfect answer.

In The Odyssey, Damon plays the legendary Greek hero Odysseus, while Zendaya stars as Athena, the goddess who guides him during his long journey home after the Trojan War. Holland plays Telemachus, Odysseus' son, while Hathaway portrays his wife, Penelope. Robert Pattinson appears as Antinous, one of Penelope's suitors.

When another question asked why Athena chooses to help Odysseus, Damon avoided revealing too much about the film. He hinted that the answer could spoil the story before jokingly ending the discussion.

“This is difficult in the context of our movie without giving things away. Because does Athena choose Odysseus or does Odysseus choose Athena?” he replied.

The interview comes after Holland confirmed that he and Zendaya recently got married. The couple, who first met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, have largely kept their relationship private.

Both actors appear together in The Odyssey and will also reunite on screen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is scheduled for release later this month.
