Zendaya and Tom Holland's star power can do just about anything for them, including getting them out of a speeding ticket.

Zendaya made a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 18 as part of her press tour for her most recent film, Challengers. At one point in the interview, host Jimmy Kimmel asked Zendaya if she had ever gotten a speeding ticket, which she denied, but said that she and her boyfriend Tom Holland had been pulled over before.

“I've gotten close,” Zendaya said. “Tom and I were rushing to a spin class with my mother. I was not going to do the spin class. He was going to do the spin class ’cause I don’t do that.”

Zendaya then alluded that they were pulled over, though it's unclear who was driving the car.

“We were going a little fast, we were running late,” she continued. “They recognized that he was Spider-Man and we were fine. We got a warning and everything was okay.”

“Well he's a crime fighter,” Kimmel joked.

In preparation for the new movie, Zendaya said she had to give her family a heads-up about some of the more steamy scenes in Challengers. The film surrounds Zendaya's tennis pro main character who finds herself in a tense love triangle with two men played by Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist. In her interview with Kimmel, Zendaya joked that she warned her family when the scenes were coming up.

“I know when the scenes are coming. So basically when those scenes were happening, I was watching, they were behind me, so I just watched them the whole time, it was hilarious,” she continued, explaining that her teenage nieces were the most uncomfortable by the film.

Zendaya has been delivering tennis-inspired looks all throughout her Challengers press tour — including tennis ball heels, a custom tennis gown, and a dress inspired by Venus and Serena Williams's 1998 Vogue photoshoot. The actor and her stylist extraordinaire Law Roach have been known for creating the ultimate on-theme looks for whichever project she is currently promoting. Zendaya's endless ensembles for Dune 2, which premiered on March 1, were also iconic.
