Tom Holland and Timothee Chalamet have yet to star in a movie together, but last year the Wonka star humorously referred to Tom as the “ultimate rizz master.” For those who don’t know, “rizz” is Gen-Z slang for charm or charisma, and it was even named Oxford’s 2023 word of the year. Now, a few months after receiving this title, the Spider-Man actor has humorously responded to the unexpected nickname.

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Tom was shown a clip of Timothee praising him during Lad Bible’s Agree or Disagree challenge. Jimmy said: “You know who’s a fan of yours, Timothee Chalamet. We love Timothee. He’s been on the show a bunch of times. He recently made a flattering statement about you.”

In the clip, when Timothee Chalamet was asked if Tom Holland was better looking than him, the actor quickly mentioned, “I’m going to disagree. Tom is the ultimate rizz champion. The internet knows this, Zendaya knows this. Everyone knows this. Ultimate rizz masters.”

After the clip ended, Jimmy Fallon asked Tom Holland for his thoughts. The young actor humorously replied, “I have to say I strongly agree.” His witty response left the audience and the host in splits.

Back in 2023, when Tom Holland appeared on BuzzFeed Celeb, he was asked about the secret behind his “rizz.” To everyone’s surprise, Tom disagreed and said, “I have no rizz at all, I have limited rizz.” He added, “My brother Patty has ultimate rizz. I don’t know, I really need you to fall in love with me for it to work. Probably do a movie with each other, it definitely helps when the characters you play fall in love with each other. Man can sort of blur the lines a little bit, that’s kind of where my rizz is and I’m locked in, so I’m happy and in love. So I don’t need rizz.”

On the work front, Tom Holland is preparing to appear in the fourth Spider-Man film alongside Zendaya. He has also recently joined the cast of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming magnum opus, also with Matt Damon. Meanwhile, Timothee Chalamet will be seen in Marty Supreme and A Complete Unknown.
