In an interview with Buzzfeed, Holland was asked about his levels of “rizz,” which refers to people’s abilities to seduce others. “I’m locked up, so I’m happy and in love,” he said. “So, I’ve got no need for rizz.”

He elaborated and revealed that in order for his rizz to work people need to be in love with him, ideally “making a movie with each other.” “It definitely helps when the characters you’re playing are falling in love with one another,” he said. “You can sort of blur the lines a little bit.” He mentioned Zendaya further on in the interview, claiming that she sends him memes on a constant basis.

“I can’t keep up because I delete my Instagram for days at a time,” he said. “I download it to post and then I have to check my messages, and I’ll have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of things from her. And I try and keep up, but it’s intense.”
