But during the quest to find fame and fortune, there are times when two lives touch each other, and without their knowledge, they tend to leave an impression on the other, whether it be emotionally or mentally. This was the case with the actress as well, where during one of her films, she was able to help her co-star find peace in his past.

Zendaya Helped Co-Star Andrew Garfield Find Closure In Spider-Man: No Way Home

The film stars are remembered just as fondly as the reception that they get for their roles in the memorable movies that they get to be part of, and more often than not, they get quite attached to their roles seeing as the time they spent playing them or the hard work they put into it. Hollywood star Zendaya also feels the same about her role as Rue Bennet in her global blockbuster HBO show Euphoria for the impact it had on her and her career. But she’s not the only one that was attached to one of her roles.

Popular for his role as Peter Parker from The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, Andrew Garfield is fond of his memories of playing the web-slinger in Sony’s reboot of the series. But as circumstances turned the tide against the star, he had to leave that role behind him. Towards the end of the last film, we saw how he failed to save Gwen Stacy as she fell down to her death. But in the MCU, he got to save the love interest of Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker in the form of MJ played by the Dune star. As he performed the shot, he felt like he can now be at peace with the past. He said:
“I can’t deny, there was always something in the back of my head of like ‘Gosh, it ended a bit abruptly for me.’ I heard the idea [Saving the falling MJ], and I was like ‘I want to see that, I want to see that on-screen.’ And it resulted in that very very beautiful expereince where I got to have a bit more closure on something that means so much to me”
Therefore, the star received what he had always wanted that he couldn’t get in the past, and that was the peace that he wanted from his role as Spider-Man.
