Zendaya and Tom Holland may only have a two-inch height difference between them, but it seems the discrepancy caused a slight problem while filming Spider-Man: No Way Home.

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show over the weekend, the couple shared a delightfully amusing story about shooting a particular stunt for the movie. The scene in question involves Spider-Man (played by Tom) grabbing onto MJ (played by Zendaya) and gently swinging them both on top of a bridge. However, Zendaya’s long legs complicated matters just a bit.

“Because of our height difference, I obviously—we were on the same point, we were attached—I would land before him,” the five-foot-ten actress explained. “My feet obviously hit the ground before he does.”

Tom, who stands at five-foot-eight, laughed and agreed, merrily adding: “I’m the superhero. I’m supposed to look cool.”

He continued to describe the mechanisms of the stunt, demonstrating how they adjusted for his shorter height: “She would land… and my feet would swing from underneath me and then she would catch me.”

Seriously, can Tomdaya get any cuter? As their press tour continues in lead-up to the film’s December 17 release date, we’ll be patiently waiting to find out.
