Dune stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya reveal close friendship

Zendaya helped Timothée Chalamet set up his first apartment in New York.

In the world of Hollywood, friendships can often be formed through the ups and downs of the industry. This holds true for actors Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, who have developed a close bond over the years. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Chalamet revealed that Zendaya had played a significant role in helping him settle into his first New York City apartment.

According to Chalamet, Zendaya lent her support when he first made the move to the bustling city. Acknowledging their strong friendship, Chalamet expressed his gratitude towards Zendaya, stating that she 'helped me set up my first apartment in New York years ago.'

Describing the initial state of Chalamet's apartment, Zendaya humorously remarked, 'The vibe was very teenage boy.' The two actors recognized the need for essential items such as cups, plates, knives, forks, and cleaning supplies. Realizing the lack of structure, they decided to visit a Bed Bath & Beyond store in New York City to tackle the task of furnishing Chalamet's living space. One of the notable additions they made was a frame for Chalamet's mattress, as he jokingly revealed that he initially had a bed without a bed frame.

Their friendship has grown stronger over time, and they are now gracing the big screen together in the highly anticipated movie Dune: Part Two. In this science fiction sequel, Chalamet portrays the character Paul Atreides, while Zendaya takes on the role of Chani. The film picks up after the events of Dune: Part One and follows Paul as he forms an alliance with the Fremen, a group of people on the planet Arrakis.

Joining Chalamet and Zendaya in the cast are talented actors Florence Pugh and Austin Butler, along with franchise newcomers Léa Seydoux, Christopher Walken, and Tim Blake Nelson. Together, they create a captivating ensemble that brings this epic story to life.

Chalamet's admiration for Zendaya goes beyond their on-screen collaboration. In an interview with Variety, he spoke highly of her character and the increased screen time she will have in the upcoming Dune sequel. He referred to her as a sister, partner, and friend, emphasizing his gratitude for their close bond.

Dune: Part Two promises to be another thrilling installment in the franchise, building on the success of its predecessor. With an ensemble cast filled with talent and a captivating storyline, fans of the Dune series are eagerly awaiting its release.

As fans eagerly count down the days until Dune: Part Two hits theaters on March 1, it is heartwarming to see the strong friendship between Chalamet and Zendaya extend beyond the screen. Their willingness to support and help each other shows the genuine camaraderie that can develop in the industry. From setting up apartments to creating memorable performances, Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya are undoubtedly there for each other.
