TheSpider-Manactor, 28, toldDishpodcasthosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett about his skills in the kitchen during the Dec. 18 episode.

“I really enjoy cooking,” Holland explained before adding humbly. “And I would say, I am a fine cook.

“I’m starting to like, venture into a lot of vegetarian cooking. My girlfriend’s vegetarian,” the star said of Zendaya, 28, whom he firstconfirmed he was dating in July 2021.

“So I’ve been in Boston these past few weeks and she’s been working so I’ve been doing a lot of the dinners,” Holland continued. Despite his best efforts in the kitchen, not all those meals were a success. “And um, they haven’t been great. There’s been a few like, ‘Let’s just order-ins.’”
