'It's gonna be Timothée Chalamet' - Tom Holland's candid confession about losing Zendaya

The Heartthrob Showdown: Tom Holland, Zendaya, and the Chalamet Conundrum

Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, may have won the hearts of millions, including his co-star Zendaya, but there's one person who could potentially sweep him off his feet. That's right! As reported by FandomWire, Dune actor Timothée Chalamet is the name that's got Holland a little unnerved.

"Double Handsome" - Tom Holland's Rivalry with Chalamet

"It's gonna be Timothée Chalamet, I bet you put him up there. No? Cause he's double handsome and I'd lose that one round," Holland amusingly quipped during a YouTube video. The young star was confronted with the ultimate question: who is more handsome, Tom Holland or...? His immediate guess was Chalamet, and the candid response revealed his insecurities in the handsomeness fight.

But this duel isn't only about good looks. It reaches back to a critical juncture when both actors were gunning for the coveted Spider-Man role.

Spider-Man's Near-Miss - Chalamet's Attempt to Steal Holland's Role

Before Tom Holland's name became synonymous with Spider-Man, Timothée Chalamet also gave an audition for the part. "I’ve to go back and knock on that door again," Chalamet recalled his desperate desire to land the role. However, a freak-out and a firm refusal from his agent halted his web-slinging dreams.

The connection doesn't end there. Zendaya, Holland's partner both on-screen and off, has worked with Chalamet in "Dune." Talk about a tangled web!

Looks, Laughs, and a Little Nervousness

Holland's playful jesting about being less handsome than Chalamet lightens a potentially awkward scenario. After all, Chalamet's name was mentioned not only in the context of good looks but also in the competition for Spider-Man and as a co-star to Holland's love interest, Zendaya.

But the Spider-Man actor is having a good laugh at it all, even taking a jab at other celebrities like Jake Gyllenhaal. In a vote-off against Mark Wahlberg, Holland won with 73% of the votes. But the statement, "he’s double handsome and I’d lose that one" to Chalamet, remains etched in the fandom's consciousness.

Chalamet's Upcoming Role and Holland's Triumph

With Timothée Chalamet looking forward to "Dune Part 2," and Tom Holland continuing his success with the likes of "Uncharted," the two actors are forging ahead. But Holland's candid admission of feeling a tad inferior to Chalamet has given fans a hearty chuckle and insight into the friendly competition between young talents.

So, who won this handsome duel? The jury's out, but the laughs, memories, and connections between Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Timothée Chalamet are the real winners here.
