Euphoria's Jacob Elordi Confirms What We Suspected About Zendaya's On-Set Behavior

In a 2020 interview with Vanity Fair, Elordi had nothing but praise for Zendaya. "She's a power unto herself and so talented, such a sweetheart." Elordi is a heartthrob in his own right, thanks to his star-making turn in Netflix's "Kissing Booth" franchise, so romance rumors were bound to fly. According to E! News, Zendaya and Elordi vacationed together in Greece in 2019, chronicling some of their adventures on social media. Still, the actor told GQ Australia that his relationship with the actress is strictly platonic.

While Elordi's "Euphoria" character is no fan of Rue's, the actor has the utmost respect for the onetime Disney darling who plays just one of Nate's many female victims. "Zendaya is an amazing creative, you know? She's super dope to work with. She's an incredible artist and a very caring person to all of us," he told GQ.

While Nate is trying to make amends with Jules of late, his character doesn't seem likely to suddenly turn into a good guy, so future clashes with Rue are inevitable. While the "Euphoria" Season 2 finale airs on February 27, fans will be able to catch Elordi in the upcoming Adrian Lyne film, "Deep Water" (via Deadline). Levinson co-wrote the script, which he adapted from the Patricia Highsmith novel.
