While Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya first shared the screen in Dune, it turns out their paths first crossed long before that.
During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel’s US talk show earlier in the week, Timothée recalled that he and Zendaya met at the airport before they became co-stars.
And let’s just say things got off to a “weird” start.
“We were on the same flight and I fell in the airport and that was technically our first meeting,” Zendaya explained, prompting her Dune co-stars to burst into laughter.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” the Emmy winner joked, while Florence Pugh asked: “Did you fall? And he helped you?”
And while Timothée urged her co-stars to “ignore” the elephant in the room, Zendaya still had some questions about the incident that she had never asked until that moment.
Namely, “did you actually see me fall?”.

“I I didn’t know her!” Timothée then, when pressed further, insisted why he didn’t help his future co-star. “I didn’t know what to do!”
Luckily for Oscar nominee Zendaya, she then ended the conversation, claiming that Timothée was “forgiven” for not coming to her aid.
The Dune sequel is set to hit theaters next month after the previous release date was pushed back due to strikes in Hollywood last year.
Meanwhile, Denis Villeneuve said he plans to make another film about the sci-fi saga based on Frank Herbert’s books.
Dune Part Two will be released on Friday, March 1st.
