Actor Tom Holland failed to recognize lyrics from Zendaya’s 2013 song “Replay” during a promotional interview in Australia [1].
The interaction has gone viral as a testament to the chemistry between the co-stars. It highlights the public's fascination with the personal dynamics of the lead actors during the press tour for their latest film.
The exchange occurred during an appearance on the web series “PEDESTRIAN.TV” as part of the promotion for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” [2]. Interviewer Lachlan Guertin conducted a segment framed as a “husband test,” where he read lyrics and asked Holland to fill in the missing words [3].
When Guertin read the line, "Don't stop, don't move, just keep it there, keep it right there," Holland was unable to provide the next part of the song [4]. Holland said, "I have no idea" [5].
Zendaya, who released “Replay” in 2013 as the lead single from her first album [1], reacted to the lapse with a playful roast. She said, "You think you know someone" [6].
Co-star Jacob Batalon was also present during the interview in Australia. The segment was intended to be light-hearted, focusing on how well the partners know one another's history, and professional milestones [3]. While some reports describe the test as a “husband test” involving a spouse, other sources identify the pair simply as co-stars [3, 7].
“"I have no idea."”
The viral nature of the clip reflects a broader marketing strategy for the Spider-Man franchise, which often leverages the real-life rapport between Holland and Zendaya to build audience engagement. By framing promotional interviews as personal challenges or 'tests,' the production creates shareable, humanizing moments that extend the film's reach beyond traditional movie reviews into social media trends.
