Zendaya seems to have nothing but praise for actor Timothée Chalamet as she sat down to speak ahead of the release of their film, Dune.
The pair who feature alongside one another in the first of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel have showered each other with compliments on social media since becoming friends.
The book which has previously been made into a film by David Lynch in 1984 has also been transformed into a miniseries back in 2000 for the SciFi Channel.
Dune follows a family who accepts a role supervising the planet Arrakis, a wasteland that is the only known source of a drug simply known as ‘spice’.
