"Anybody who knows this man knows that he travels with sound," Zendaya said of Chalamet during the pair's virtual interview with "Good Morning America."
"There's always some kind of music emanating from his pocket or a small speaker that he carries with him," she continued. "So he definitely started with the tunes, I hosted in my dressing room, and then we had a few people attending our little party, one being Javier Bardem."
During another interview, Chalamet joked that Zendaya's biggest celebrity crush was Tom Holland.
