Timothee Chalamet felt that Zendaya's performance as Chani in 'Dune' was "incredible to witness" despite complaints about her lack of screen time
The 25-year-old actor plays Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic and hailed the performance of his co-star as Chani, despite criticism at Zendaya's lack of involvement in the blockbuster.
Timothee told Deadline: "She is Chani, and it's incredible to witness. From the get-go, she was that character, and it was inspiring to see.
"I love the shot in the movie of Chani pulling the mask down for the first time; it feels properly momentous. But even on the day, it was like, holy s***, Chani has arrived."
Timothee admits that his close bond with Zendaya was present both on and off-screen.
He explained: "There's the book, and there have been other adaptations, but not only was the relationship between us alive in Jordan, and not only does it live on the screen now, it was there just at the first chemistry read. It felt obvious."
