Tom Holland knows Zendaya will always be honest with him.

During a conversation with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation shared on YouTube Friday, the actor, 27, shared kind words about his girlfriend during a wide-ranging conversation about his career and recent series The Crowded Room.

“Zendaya is probably the most honest with me,” Holland said, after the moderator asked who in his life he turns to for opinions on his work. He added, “Which I love, ’cause you need that.”

Holland also cited his other Marvel costars Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch as actors whose opinions he respects and seeks out for guidance. “Downey is very honest — sometimes a little too honest,” he joked. “I really respect Downey’s opinion. He taught me so much, I always sing his praises. I love the guy. I admire him.”
