Zendaya has recently shared insights into the importance of having an intimacy coordinator on set as she emphasized the significance of feeling safe and comfortable during intimate scenes.

While conversing at the red carpet event of Challengers Italian premiere, the Dune: Part 2 star shared, “We had an intimacy coordinator which was fantastic and very helpful, because it was important that we felt safe.”

The 27-year-old actress played the role of Tashi Duncan, an aspiring tennis player who gives up her career after a major injury, added, “I spoke with my colleagues so that we could find a way to feel at ease. We played tennis together, we went out together, we rehearsed together. We got to bond and feel good with each other.”

However, Mike Faist, her co-star, agreed with Zendaya that the two of them needed their "unstructured time" together to forge a solid bond and produce a "believable" romance for television.

“We were able to spend time together during rehearsals and beyond, especially with Josh. We were able to get to know each other as people before we could get into the film. We created a real friendship that created the basis of the film,” he explained.

Josh O’Connor who is also part of the star-studded cast, “It was an honor to be directed by Luca. The script was great, as was the cast and being able to work with Mike and Zendaya. To be honest, what attracted me to accepting the role of Patrick is that he is so different from me.”
